November 17, 2016A.Yes, you can root in water but I recommend taking cuttings and rooting in a medium such as perlite.

Certified ExpertA.The citronella geranium can be propagated from cuttings made from the stems. Use a sharp, clean tool to cut a 4 to 6 inch length from the middle section of a stem, making sure the cutting contains at least two leaf nodes. Remove the bottom leaves but keep the top two leaves on the cutting. See these articles for how to root the cuttings:

Rooting hormone can be used, but is not required:

8b 31768Q.Cintronella plant
I live in zone 8b,Ga. My question is can cintronella plants tolerate full direct sun. I know they require at least 6hrs of sun. Would that be direct sun or partial or filtered indirect sun? I greatly appreciate all the information you can provide.

April 14, 2017A.In a warm zone like yours, I would suggest morning sun and afternoon shade or a part sun location.
