Its winter,long evenings so i have time to read.Going trough my new-old pelargonium books,i found some new for me interesting propogation ways.Very similar to them what i use in garden,with other plants,but newer thought to use them on pellies.
Because winter is soooo long,,and my fingers getting 'gardening itchy' i had to try one of tips..My windowsills are occupied by orchids ,i had to chose one what not take much room,because cuttings need warm environment i had to keep they in.
I will show you in photos what i did and how :) So fingers crossed it will works.
I had 2 same variety plants,there is one of them.
After cutting back,i used cinnamon as fungicide.
All together 9 cuttings
Tool what i used for taking cuttings.
Cleaned and ready
Take cling film.
Lay about 1 cm tick layer with moist sphagnum moss,cuttings on top.
And cover cuttings same on top
Bend over cling film
Like that
And roll it :)
I have now 2 nice pelargonium rools :)
Label them,date on.
Ready for going in,actually they now it 2 tea cups :)
Bravo Liga! I look forward to seeing how the experiment works. I've read about this method, but never tried it. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteBest part,,there is 9 cuttings and 2 little cups :) Thank you!!!
DeleteI never used that method for getting roots, it is very interesting.
ReplyDeleteMe too,will see how it go on.Now i think i should wait until february,when they start to grow again,,but fingers crossed i didn't waste all that cutting material.
