Propagating Geraniums

 Now for a youtube learning moment

 I have been wanting red geraniums on my windowsill all summer, and finally got around to "propagating" my two giant plants into 8 smaller ones today. It was easy! And there are so many people who put videos on with step-by-step instructions, its impossible to fail.

I am pretty happy with the results! For now anyway, hopefully they get enough light in our west facing window.  

The process is really simple and fast. It just took me forever to get everything together, pots, plants, and potting soil. Watching youtube videos is the most helpful way to learn how, but here is a quick summery of the steps:

1. Take 3 or 4 cuttings from a geranium (snip them low enough so they have a definite stem, then pull off any lower leaves so that none of them are touching the dirt)

2. Dip the end of the cutting in honey

3. Place it in the dirt

4. Water it until it starts leaking out the bottom
