Care instructions

This appears to be a Geranium cutting being rooted in water. For rooting, keep the cutting in a glass of clear water in a bright, indirect light location. Change the water every few days to prevent stagnation. Roots should form within 2-4 weeks. Once roots are about an inch long, the cutting can be transplanted into well-draining potting mix. As a mature plant, provide bright light, water when the top inch of soil is dry, and protect from frost.
