Bird Rehab
Well, I came across a Swallow in distress. Ok. Now what?
I decided to take the bird in and see if I could give it a second chance.
I always have containers from and for everything, lol. I have a small clear critter carrier. Perfect to minimize to much movement while the wing, wings healed
I fed it crickets, since swallows are insectivores. It took to them immediately. Whew, off to a good start.

Geraniums: Bright Blooms and Easy Propagation
Geraniums are a gardener’s classic—cheerful, colorful, and surprisingly hardy. Whether you grow them indoors on a sunny windowsill or outside in containers and flower beds, geraniums reward even minimal care with abundant blooms. One of the best things about these plants is how easy they are to propagate. With just a few cuttings, you can turn one healthy geranium into a whole collection.
Why Geraniums Are Garden Favorites
Geraniums (often the common “annual” type, Pelargoniums) come in a wide range of colors, from bright reds and pinks to soft pastels and whites. They love full sun, tolerate heat well, and bloom continuously through the growing season. Indoors, they’ll keep flowering as long as they get enough light.
They’re also forgiving plants—great for beginners or anyone who likes low-maintenance gardening.
How to Propagate Geraniums From Cuttings
Propagating geraniums is simple and works best in late summer or early fall, but you can do it any time you have healthy growth to work with.
1. Take a Healthy Cutting
- Choose a non-flowering stem, 4–6 inches long.
- Make a clean cut just below a leaf node.
- Remove any flowers and the bottom leaves, leaving just the top two or three.
2. Let the Cutting Dry
Geranium stems are firm and slightly woody. Allow the cut end to dry for an hour or two to prevent rotting once planted.
3. Plant the Cutting
- Use a small pot with well-draining soil or a mix of perlite and peat.
- Insert the cutting about an inch deep.
- Water lightly—just enough to settle the soil.
4. Give It Light, Not Heat
Place your cutting in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun until it has rooted.
Keep the soil slightly moist but not wet.
5. Wait for Roots
Roots usually develop in 2–4 weeks. You can check by gently tugging—if it resists, it has rooted. Once established, move it to a sunnier spot and treat it like a mature geranium.
A Simple Way to Grow Your Collection
Propagating geraniums is not only easy—it’s rewarding. You can overwinter new plants indoors, create more blooms for your garden beds, or share cuttings with friends. One plant can give you a whole season of fresh, vibrant growth.
