Balanced plants with tight growth tend to make the best specimens. The even stem thickness and shape of this geranium cutting, combined with the short internodes (distance between leaf pairs) makes it ideal.
Have removed the terminal leaves (fresh developing leaves at end of stem, where the meristems are) to induce branching and therefore bushiness. These tiny new leaves - plus any young flower buds, if present - can just be rubbed off with the thumb.
The cutting has been grown in unsterilised garden soil. Once season really gets going, will re-pot into multi-purpose compost.
