Geraniums
Take cuttings in July or August, and let them he to partially dry for twenty-four hours before planting. When rooted pot them off in 60's, and keep them under glass during the winter at a temperature of 55 degrees.
If the cuttings are taken in September put three or four slips in a 48-size pot. In the spring they should be re-potted singly and hardened off as early as possible.
A suitable soil for them is made by mixing two parts of good turfy loam, one of leaf-mould, one of well-decomposed cow-dung, and a good proportion of silver sand. Bone dust is an excellent addition to the soil.
Old plants stripped of their leaves may be packed in sand during the winter, and re-potted in spring. Author: Albert Pink :: Hits: 0 :: Added: Fri Apr 27 2007 ::
