The bottom one-third of the cuttings should be submerged in the water. Add a 3- to 4-inch piece of a willow branch if you have one in the garden. Natural compounds in the willow encourage other plants, like geraniums, to form roots. Geraniums can take 28 to 30 days to root in water. If you have a greenhouse or a warm sun porch, the heat and humidity creates an ideal environment. If not, place the jar with the geranium cuttings on the windowsill in a sunny spot.
