Geranium: geraniums have a long flowering period and fairly rich flower colors, and are deeply loved by everyone. Geraniums are very easy to propagate. Geraniums are in a semi-dormant state in summer, and can be propagated by cuttings in other seasons. Spring and autumn are the best. Select healthy branches, cut the branches, let the cut ends dry, mix with peat soil, and place in a semi-shaded spot; they will root in just over twenty days

For leaf cuttings, take healthy leaves, wrap the base of the leaf stalk with a layer of sponge, place it in a tray, pour in water, and let the sponge absorb the water. Remember to keep it ventilated, and then it will gradually root. Once the growing medium is prepared, the leaves can be planted in it. Caring for geraniums requires soil rich in humus with good drainage and good looseness. Geraniums should receive sufficient light during the growing period

In summer, avoid direct sunlight; in winter, there should be sufficient light. In winter, the temperature for geraniums should be kept at 10 to 15°C so they can bloom normally. In summer, it must not be higher than 35°C, or they will enter a dormant state. Geraniums like a dry environment, and in winter even less watering is needed, watering only when the soil is dry and stopping when it is wet. Moist soil will slow down the growth and flowering of geraniums
