Coconut Geranium Volunteers
Coconut geranium seedling 2/14/06
Yesterday I transplanted 4 tiny seedlings of Pelargonium grossularioides (Coconut geranium) into their own little 4" pots. Each is still looking perky 24 hours after being moved. That is in spite of an environmental challenge: cold, dry winds out of the northwest, with gusts up to 43 mph.
Two days ago I transplanted an older seedling from its original spot in with the Nutmeg geranium to its own seperate pot. It reacted badly to the move. Its larger, outer leaves all wilted and will be cast off. The center, young leaves are strong and healthy, and I'm sure it will survive.
