My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Propagating Pelargoniums from Cutting

15 years ago

I read about how easy it is to propagate pelargoniums (aka geraniums) from cuttings, yet all of mine rot before they root. I am attempting to root them in seed starting mix outside so I can't control the rain and humidity, but even when it hasn't been rainy, they rot.

I was thinking about switching to vermiculite to root the cuttings. Any advice?
