What is the best way to ship geranium cuttings?

Posted by fleur z5 (My Page) on

Can anyone suggest a way to prepare geranium cutting for shipping? I don't know if they should be allowed to heel over (for how long) or send them freshly cut. Should the lower part of the cutting be wrapped in damp paper and inserted into plastic baggies or not. All help is appreciated. Thanks

Hi Fleur
I am unsure weather you are talking geraniums or pelargoniums. If Pelargoniums, just send in plastic bag with no moisture. If you wrap with wet or moist media the cuttings get blackleg and are unusable. I have used this method and it is very reliable.
