Step 2: Place the geranium cuttings into a Jar

Put the cuttings in a container (jar, vase, glass) with water. Remove any leaves that are below the water level because they will rot.

STEP 3: Place in Windowsill

Place the containers filled with geranium cuttings on a windowsill so they get a lot of light but not direct sunlight.

STEP 4: Roots will Develop

In a few weeks, the geraniums should begin to develop roots.
