Survivors Gerainium Cuttings

Mine have mostly survived , but I have to keep going in and picking of fluffy mouldy leaves , I don't know whats caused that ...... yours look nice and healthy Carole ......

Thanks Amy I lost a few and mine also suffered from mould too!

Ah , well at least I now know i'm not the only one , it's so annoying !

Congrates PP on bringing them through :D i sadly lost all mine again this winter :(

Good to see. Nice foliage too. I get by very well pulling them inside to a cool spot, water a little like the fuschias, and it sleep right through. Though I know no one is hoping for a colder next winter. :-) But I do change the soil, pull it and crumble some roots free, then give it new soil, helps clean up that fluffy issue. Do just when it looks to be waking up. You can make a 10% bleach rinse, use and rinse in then in pure water if you'd like, but I find the plant fights it off, once the soil is clean.

Thanks Jac sorry you lost yours, it is a bit hit and miss isnt it, especially with the cold temperatures we have had, better luck next time.

Thanks Green thumb for all you information, especially valuable knowing what kind of temperatures you have to contend with. I am going to do some seed sowing tomorrow, so will change the soil and pot some of the little fuschias on. ;0))

Its the second year running iv lost all my Geraniums PP :( il have/keep just a few this year & keep them indoors as House plants where theyl be safe ;)

Jac I keep mine in the utiliy room which has a small heater which I keep just above frost stat, most have survived in these conditions.

Sadly i dont have a Utility room PP :( Itl have to be My Bedroom Window Sills as all my Downstairs 1s have Plants/Items on them already :)

Mine was once the garage but harry converted it and its used for all sorts now woodwork, washing, Crafts and of course Gardening lol

Sounds Perfect PP :)

These look really well Carole....like Amy a lot of mine have mould, due to the cold and damp......I love the one there with the coloured leaf........
