Default What plant(s) are these? What do do with them?

Alternatively, take cuttings - for the pelargonium: Pick a few,
preferably non-flowering, stems about 4-6inches long, in about August.
Take off all leaves except for a couple at the top. Fill a pot with soil
or moist potting compost (not the best medium, but works for me), and
push the cuttings into the pot until 2/3 or 3/4 of the length is in the
soil, give it a bit more water and put the whole pot into a plastic bag
and tie the top. After a few weeks, you can start looking at the pot
every couple of weeks or so - take away any cuttings which have rotted,
but you should eventually see roots coming out of the bottom of the pot.
Once you've got to this stage, you can gradually remove the bag and
start growing them on as new plants.


o.k. so by then it will be Autumn? What do you do now, - do you
continue watering and where do you keep them?
