Pelargonium x hortorum (garden geraniums) are propagated by seeds and cuttings. Nerium can readily root after being placed in water or in compost. Snake plants are propagated by leaf cuttings or by dividing the rhizome (variegated plants will keep their yellow edges only by division). The common grapevine is propagated from a shoot taken from a ...

Geraniaceae is a family of flowering plants placed in the order Geraniales.The family name is derived from the genus Geranium.The family includes both the genus Geranium (the cranesbills, or true geraniums) and the garden plants called geraniums, which modern botany classifies as genus Pelargonium, along with other related genera.
The flowers are paired (rarely solitary) on an inflorescence stald (peduncle) which is 1–4 cm long, with each flower on a flower stalk (pedicel) which is 2.5–5 cm long. The sepals are 5–9 mm long, and the pink petals are 5–12 mm long, pink and often have yellowish veins. The anthers are yellow.
The flowers are produced singly (not in clusters, as in many other Geranium species), 2.5–4 cm diameter, with petals 12–18 mm wide, and are bright crimson. [7] The flowering period extends from May to October. The flowers are hermaphrodite and pollinated by insects (entomophily). The most common flower visitors are Syrphidae and Hymenoptera ...
