Greenhouse in the Winter Time

Geraniums are one of the most satisfying plants to grow in a greenhouse during winter. In my barely heated Zone 7 greenhouse, they bloomed profusely, much more so than they did later on outside.


Propagation is easy:
  1. Cut off a stem that has several leaf nodes.
  2. Trim off the bottom leaves.
  3. Dip this stem in rooting hormone.
  4. Stick the cutting in pure perlite, or in a mix of 1 part perlite/1 part potting soil.
  5. Keep watered, but not waterlogged.
Before long, you will have multiple geraniums!
