    Take the whole stalk from the bottom as well as the flowerhead... grasp the bottom of the stalk and it should come away quite easily no need to cut or break..

    You should try and do a clean break where the stalk meets the
    stem. Don't leave any bits of stalk to rot.

    I used to be a member of the Pelargonium Society and had some realy lovely plants but all were lost in last winters weather while they were resting in my potting shed which was supposed to be frost free......but I found a hole at the top of the door. The man next door was chucking his out so I grabbed one and hope to make good cuttings.
