I live in a block of flats with a balcony. I have some window boxes
doing
well and I took a few cuttings from the plants in them, also growing
well.

Today I was on my balcony and to my surprise one of my geranium
cuttings
growing in a 3" pot has completely vanished. I cannot figure out how
this
could have happened. Anyone got some idea/s

How could slugs account for the disappearance of a pot?

Could well be a magpie or possibly a blackbird. They tend to try and
find worms or grubs in wet soil and in doing so they can cause quite a
lot of damage to unprotected young plants in pots or trays, but I am
surprised if they took the pot. Have you had a look for it under the
balcony or nearby as I think that it will not be far away.?
