Having taken a number of Geranium cuttings, someone told me it is a
good idea to spray them with a growth inhibitor to make a stronger
plant. Is this correct? And if so, what should the cuttings be
treated with? Should I also treat the parent plant? Many thanks for
your time,

Ger.


As others have said, geraniums root pretty easily. However, if you find a
product called Rootone at a garden center, it wouldn't hurt to use it. In
addition to a plant hormone whose name I don't recall, it also contains an
antifungal agent. Couldn't hurt to use it, but I wouldn't drive all over
creation trying to find it. As far as rooting medium, any decent potting
soil will work. Keep it damp, but not soaking wet.
