Leaf Propagation:Roots, now what

20 years ago

Hi All

I took leaf cuttings from my geraniums (pellagorum, the annual kind). I put them under shop lights, and they have rooted in about two weeks time. Do I leave them under lights for awhile, or should I repot? How long before they start sending out more leaves and eventually a flower?

Thanks

Joe

Wow, Joe, I have been growing pelargoniums for 20 years, and I never knew that they would grow from leaf cuttings, I have always done stem cuttings. It may be a moot point, by now, but if the roots are about 1 1/2 inches, then I think they should be OK to repot. How did you do the leaf cutting? Did you cut it up? Rooting hormone? Congratulations
