| Zonal pelargonium "Jeannie Hunt" Raised in the UK by Hunt, and released in 2004. This dwarf pelargonium has soft pink double flowers. The leaves are gold with a darker zone. The leaves in my photo do look green, but it was taken on a dull day in a shaded glasshouse. |
I have been busy taking lots of cuttings. Far too many and now I wonder where I will keep them all when I have to pot them up. Having said that, I have not had a lot of luck with cuttings this year, starting with the zonartics I took for Fibrex at the beginning of this year. For many years I have used coir mixed with half vermiculite, with good success. I wrote about my coir method in 2019 here . I have also used the same coir and quarter perlite . But this year I have lost a lot of cuttings. Could it be the coir? I don't know, but it is very odd. I, therefore, reverted to my old method of sieved compost and silver sand - mixed half and half and so far have had good results. The cuttings I have seem to be half with the coir and half with the compost. I will keep you informed
