What is "sticking cuttings"?

Today we were trimming Mini-Cascade geraniums. Above are the rooted plants that we took cuttings from.
Here is one that I took out of the flat so you can see the roots.
Here is the cutting that we nipped off the top of the rooted plant.
The box is full of unrooted cutting and we are dipping them into a special rooting powder and then into a tray of 72 individual squares filled with Pro-Mix, a high quality soil-less potting mix.
When the tray is full, they are run through the watering tunnel and end up on this roller bench until they are loaded on a cart and taken to our rooting greenhouse.
And that's what we did for 2 hours of our day today!
