Starting Coconut Geranium From Seed
The seeds of Pelargonium grossularioides are tiny. The easiest way to grow them is to sprinkle them on the surface of your pre-moistened growing medium. Mist the surface to bring the seeds into full contact with the soil. Place your seed tray (or pot or margarine bowl) into the magical high-tech greenhouse known as a ziploc bag. No more watering while you wait for your seeds to "hatch".
Coconut geranium seeds are the small dark dots.
Before planting, I soaked my seed tray in water
until the Jiffy Mix was totally wetted.
After sprinkling the seeds, I sprayed the surface with water to make
sure the seeds are in good contact with the surface.
A ziploc bag makes an effective and inexpensive greenhouse.
