Re: [SG] Geranium Cuttings

  Hi List:
  I had a geranium that I had been growing since spring and decided to take
stem cuttings from it, but already I feel I've done something wrong.  This is
what I did:  I took a healthy shoot and cut away the bottom leaves, then I
took
a three inch pot with sand and peat moss, dipped the shoot in growing
horomone, then planted it.  Then I covered the pot with a baggie, making sure
to cover the whole pot.  My first question:  Should I have taken off all of
the
leaves?  I left some at the top of the shoot.  One day after I had done this,
several of the top leaves turned brown, so I panicked and took the plastic
bag off.  But, should I have just left it on there, and let the leaves turn
brown?
What did I do wrong?  I have one shoot that I left the plastic bag on there.
It's leaves are also turning brown.  Any suggestions on what I did wrong?
TIA,
  Jennifer Sheppard, Zone 8
