START OF A NEW FAN
Metal mesh
This mesh is 24"x18" which I use to train the plant on, I prefer this to using canes. I use 3 green plastic covered metal rods made to look like canes to support the mesh, unlike canes they will not rot and snap off at soil level.
PLANT STARTING TO TAKE SHAPE
As you can see the plant is starting to look more like a fan, I tie the stems in loosely to allow for growth. This was done just before Xmas 2008.

Bicolour fan
Mrs. J. C. Mappin the bicolour in the photo, quickly put on growth to fill the mesh (16 months). I was disappointed that it did not flower well, so I am hoping that in 2009 it will be better.

You're my no. 1 inspiration in the Pelargonium growing/showing world. Appreciation abundance, plus some! Your site has taught me more in a short period of time, than any other source or outlet. 
Wow I love your plants ,beautiful ,I wish I could grow them that well in Australia
Hi Jacqueline, I do not cover the box as the cuttings will rot off in too much humidity. I only water them once they are nearly dry as not to overwater. Ken
Hi Ken. Thanks for the info. I would like to know, do you cover the box? How often do you ‘bottom’ water the cuttings?

Once the plant has made sufficient growth to cover the mesh do you remove the mesh before putting it on the showbench or do you keep it in its fixed position
