How to Propagate zonal geranium?

This vibrant ornamental plant, beloved for its showy flowers and horseshoe-patterned leaves, thrives when propagated through cuttings. To ensure success, choose healthy stems with several leaves and snip them just below a leaf node. Rooting hormone can assist with establishing roots more swiftly. Place the cuttings in a well-draining potting mix, ensuring the soil remains lightly moist but never waterlogged. Once roots have developed, transfer horseshoe geranium to individual pots to facilitate growth, making sure the location has ample indirect sunlight and good air circulation.
