Pelargonium vitifolium can be propagated from seed and cuttings. Stem cuttings can be taken at any time of the year from a healthy vigorous plant, from softwood or herbaceous growth. It is also the most widely used method of propagating pelargoniums. Plants grown with this method will flower within 3 to 6 months. A rooting hormone will speed up the rooting process, especially for the softwood cuttings. Place the cuttings in a container containing separate compartments or plugs with river sand, and place in cold frames or a well lit area and keep them moist. The cuttings should root in 3 weeks. Give the rooted cuttings a 3-week weaning period and transplant them into a well-drained potting soil mix and place them in a sunny position. When they have formed a strong root-ball they can be planted into the garden.

Sow seeds in late summer to early autumn. The seed should be sown in a light, well-drained potting mix. Sprinkle the seeds evenly in the seed tray and cover them with fine white sand or fine-milled pine bark. Water the seeds gently but thoroughly with a fine rose spray and place them in light shade with no direct sun. Seed germinates in 2-3 weeks. Plants grown from seeds will flower within 12 to 18 months. Pelargoniums grow happily outdoors free of diseases, but if the same plant is grown indoors or in a greenhouse the warmer climatic conditions and lack of air circulation usually result in pests such as aphids, white fly or rust and powdery mildew.
