WF...if that tuber on the left hand side is attached to the bottom of where the main stem was (you with me!)...which is where it will shoot from, you might be ok....its what they call a "chicken leg" in dahlia terms.....some growers use this method for propagation....Have I got that right Tel?

10 out of 10 Lou.

Keep following this thread Geranium and you will get a pictorial tutorial. I only managed to take my cuttings last year because I posted photos at every stage to double check everything before I did it.

If I can manage it, anyone can. Tel has the patience of a saint

As there was more room I did the Bishop of Auckland too, I might have got this one a little too deep.

The Dark Angel needs to be in contact with the compost a bit more....
