Hanging geraniums are the easiest to propagate through cuttings
Easily grow hanger geraniums
The hanging geraniums, also known as ivy larvae, love the sun, warmth and nutrient-rich soil. They should be supplied weekly with a special fertilizer for flowering plants in summer, so they bloom until the first frost. In areas prone to frost, sensitive plants should be kept in a cool greenhouse or winter garden. Hanging geraniums are also easy to multiply.

Hanging pelargoniums - as the geraniums, which are not to be confused with the stork beaks, are actually called correct - are propagated via cuttings in the late summer / early autumn. The reason for this lies in the nature of the already half-mature shoots at this time - namely, these are too soft and still green, moldy them quickly and the propagation attempt fails. So cut in August / September
The young plants can be potted individually as soon as new leaves show up. Afterwards the young hanging geraniums are wintered cool.
Propagation by sowing
Relatively simple is also the pulling of the hanging geraniums from seeds, which you either collected or bought yourself. It is possible to advance already from January, but should take place at the latest in February.
After the icy saints you can finally bring the young hanging geraniums to their final location.
Tips
Incidentally, older hanging geraniums from the age of about four to five years can also be multiplied by a division.
