How do i save my geraniums over the winter?

Depends on where you live. In the S.West I leave mine out but in a sheltered corner. Otherwise I cover them with a sheet of greenhouse "fleece". Take cuttings and keep them either indoors or in a greenhouse just in case the frost gets those outside.

How do i save my geraniums over the winter?
Geraniums need to be brought in where it doesn't get cold enough to kill them in the winter. It doesn't necessarily have to be indoors; if you have a garage or similar place that stays above freezing, that is sufficient. Just don't let the plants freeze, and you should be fine in spring.
Reply:put them indoor's before the frost starts, greenhouse, windowsill, etc. wrap some bubblewrap or cover with fleece.
Reply:Pot them up and keep them dry, start watering again in the spring.
Reply:Just bring them inside as soon as frost is forcast.
Reply:You need to bring them in and place them in a sunny area - sunroom or near a window with a lot of light. My neighbor keeps hers from year to year and they are like a small bush now. Very beautiful.
Reply:I've known of people taking them out of the dirt and hanging them upside down from the rafters in the basement- letting them dry out

replanting them with success





never worked for me
Reply:Traditional way is to either transfer pots to a greenhouse or conservatory. Bedding plants dig up and place in shallow trays of sandy loam. in g/house or shed . My front garden is sheltered from the worst of the weather by the house and I have left mine in the ground for the past three winters... They get a bit tatty and bedraggled, but in the spring I cut the dead bits away and they bloom really well. Make really big plants... Whether I will get away with it this year I don't know as a hard winter is forecast... You can also take cuttings to root in the greenhouse.
Reply:Just bring them in doors %26amp; don't over water them, they should be fine. i normally pick off most of the flower buds over the winter period to save their energy for the next years bloom
Reply:I've never been able to do it.
Reply:Bring them in, frost will kill. Sunny position but keep them quite dry they dont like to be soggy. A great time to take cuttings, you can just take a bit off and stick it into water it will probably start rooting in about a week, pot on carefully in soil when theres enough root, hey presto ! at least twice as many geranuims for next year. Good luck.
Reply:if they arent sitting in water for too long they should be fine over winter
Reply:Take them indoors. Keep them dry. Cut the old stems off. Take cutting in the spring.
