So when is the geranium cuttings good? How about cuttings ?
When is it good to cut geraniums?
Geraniums like a warm environment, the suitable temperature during the growth period is 15-25 degrees, that is, in the spring and autumn of the year. It is precisely because spring and autumn are the periods of vigorous growth of geraniums, it is easier to survive by cutting geraniums during these two periods.
The summer temperature is too high, the geranium will enter the dormant period and grow slowly, so it is not suitable for cutting geranium. The temperature in winter is too low for the growth of geranium, so it is not suitable for cutting geranium. However, the temperature in winter can reach about 15 degrees, and it is also possible to cut geraniums. So the best time to cut geraniums is spring and autumn.

1. Choose the right cuttings
To cut the geranium, first we need to choose the right cuttings. The cuttings of geraniums are the branches of geraniums. So what kind of geranium cutting is suitable?
First, we need to choose the geranium species we like, and then choose the strong top branches, about 8~10cm in length, and remove the two or three leaves below to facilitate our cuttings. Then put it in a cool and ventilated place to dry, because the stem flesh of geranium contains a lot of water, so don’t dry it.Prone to decay.
And when we select the geranium branches, we can cut the lower cut into a horseshoe shape, so that the contact area with the soil is more, and the rooting is more.
2. Choose suitable soil cuttings
When we cut Geranium, we can use sand. You can also use high-temperature sterilized soil, peat soil, and sand mixed soil. Use this kind of soil to cut geraniums for more comprehensive nutrition. After the cuttings are alive, you don't need to rush to transplant them into pots. Using sand cuttings of geraniums has better water permeability, but the soil has no nutrients and needs to be potted in time after cuttings survive. What material is used? You can use it according to your needs.
3. Cutting geranium
① After we cut the geranium, fill the soil into the flower pot and then compact the soil about two centimeters below the flower pot Chopsticks are inserted into several small holes, the depth is about 1/2 to 1/3 of the cutting branches. ② Put the cuttings of the dzi bead sunflower wound in the sun and place it in the small hole. ③ After burying the soil and watering it thoroughly, put it in a cool and ventilated place for about 15 to 20 days before cuttings can survive.
4. Management during rooting
After geranium cuttings, water once the soil is dry, so as not to allow water to accumulate in the flower pots to prevent the appearance of rotten roots. In dry weather, you can spray water around the leaves and flowerpots,Prevent the geranium cuttings from drying out.
Also, if the temperature is not stable, the temperature should be controlled above 13 degrees to prevent the temperature from being too low to cause cutting failure of geranium. If the temperature is higher than 25 degrees, it is also necessary to do a good job of ventilation and cooling treatment to prevent the geranium from rotten roots.
How to raise early flowering after cuttings of Geranium survive?
After the cuttings of pelargonium are alive, we can transplant them into pots, and then gradually receive the sunlight to prevent the leaves from being sunburned or killed by the sun. So we can take a step-by-step approach until the geraniums are raised in warm sunlight.
There are also geraniums that grow to about 8~10cm. We can top and top the geraniums, let the geraniums grow side branches, and the plant shape will become round and full. During the growth period, water thoroughly after the soil is dry. Do not allow too much water to appear in the flower pot to prevent the appearance of rotten roots.
After the geranium grows vigorously, we can fertilize the geranium. For the seedlings, we can use a thin NPK ternary fertilizer. After the flower buds are thin decomposed cake fertilizers or Potassium dihydrogen water-soluble fertilizer can make geranium bloom more and brighter.
Geranium cuttings are best in spring and autumn. The cutting method can be done according to the above 4 points, and then with later management, you can make the geranium seedlings bloom more. How do you cut geraniums? Welcome flower friends to leave comments!
