I was over at my friend's Michael and Marcy's in Laguna Beach, and I remarked at how beautiful their garden was. Right there and then Michael cut me some stems way down at the base and told me to just stick them in the ground at my house and watch them grow. The one that took was the Chocolate Geranium. I was amazed! It was like magic!
Recently, I talked to another friend, Dale, also from Laguna Beach. He said the thing that would help the process would be to plant the stems in pots, then water them daily for a while. He also said that he does the same with succulents, and once the succulents take he only waters them when he feels like it.
