Geranium Seed Propagation
1. Prepare the Seeds
Geranium seeds can be self-harvested, naturally pollinated outdoors, and have a high germination rate. Pay attention to check daily, and when the seed capsule turns black, it indicates maturity. Harvest it promptly, or it will fly away.
The seeds resemble dandelions with small parachutes, and they will fly away with the wind once they split open.

2. Prepare the Soil
The best soil mixture to use is peat soil 6 + vermiculite 2 + perlite 2. If you don't have vermiculite, you can do without it. Some gardeners have successfully sown using pine needles + garden soil, but it's best not to use coal slag, and coconut bran might work.
3. Preparing Before Sowing
Before sowing, the seed coat must be removed. After peeling, the germination rate is higher. The temperature should be kept above 20 degrees Celsius. It's easier to survive in spring and autumn, and don't sow in winter without heating.
