Geraniums do not take with leaf cuttings.  Take stem cuttings with 3
internodes.  Leave just a leaf and the growing tip with its unfurling
leaves.  Stick in perlite or perlite and sand mix.  Keep moist and
provide bottom heat.  If you do these cuttings too late in the year, you
will approach it when dormancy is setting in.  Do it before late
summer.  Spring gives 90% success.  Autumn  will give you 20-30%.
Good luck!
