My geranium looks deadthe shoots are brown & crispy I was wondering if the plant might still be alive&what do

My geranium use to be pretty with a lot of green shoots over the winter but towards the end of winter the shoots started getting brown and crispy like and one shoot is still green. There are little bitty bugs in it but i dont know what they are and if they are trying to kill my plant or if my plant is what they call dormant. My nephew said it looked like a cemetary lol but any advice you have will be much appreciated. I really loved the look of it but I didn't know if it's like that because I was cutting off the twiggy branches after they got brown.

Wait a little longer and give it a shot of sunshine and water and keep your fingers crossed hope this helps.
Reply:I have a couple of geraniums that looked like this also what I did it loosen the dirt around the roots and took one smaller root kinda bent it and it did bend that is a good sign then I cut it to look for green to see any signs of life one I found green and one i did not so I am punting and watering them both with the roots still being pliable I thought this was a good sign so I will see. Geraniums are a plant that can go dormant in the winter.
Reply:Don't give up yet. I grew geraniums once which had been pulled from the garden in the fall and stuffed in paper bags over the winter, not stored properly at all. I put them in the ground in spring and most of them grew. Wait till your spring is well under way before deciding if the plant is dead. Cut the dead parts off but leave anything green.
Reply:It sounds like you have lost your geranium. But wait until your ground gets warm and see what it looks like. With bugs eating on it tho, it sounds like bad news. If you get another one, mulch it up to its little ears when the weather threatens to be freezing cold and keep your fingers crossed.
Reply:it is possible that the geranium is lost for good, but wait a little while maybe until early summer, because plants can surprisingly heal.





good luck
