help w rooting scented geranium

Hello!

I am really hoping I can root some of my scented geranium, which seems to be dying.

Right
now, I have several leaf cuttings and a stem cutting in damp/wet
perlite. Only half covered. And I dipped in rooting powder.

Then
as I was snooping around online, I saw that some people let their
geranium cuttings callous over before they try to root them.

Was
I supposed to do that? I don't know the botanical name of this plant,
or if it is a pelargonium or a geranium. The leaves are a little but
fuzzy, and it has a scent.

There is very little of this plant left, but there is a bit left and I could try again. Any advice? Should I callous? How would I know when it was done callousing? What about rooting hormone?

Also, should I try to root a stem in water?

I already posted in 3 other forums (before I noticed this one) and I am probably in trouble. I left them up though bc I want to hear as much as possible.

Your suggestions appreciated.
