The parent plant in overwintering in the garage, not quite but almost dormant. No water, cool, not much light. There are some sturdy looking stems, and I will wan to cut it back this Spring. I chose these for cuttings.
Then I selected some from these, and trimmed some more.
Then I stuck them all into some potting soil in a four inch pot. That was last week. Today, no silting and starting to show just a little variegation. This is the variegated, heirloom variety "Mrs Pollack".
This is really pushing it, as to whether these marginal cuttings from a stressed, overwintering, nearly dormant plant will take root and grow. But geraniums are rugged. They just might.
