How do you cut geraniums back at end of growing season for winter?
If you don't want to care for them over the winter, the hang-up-in-the-cellar method will work. I treat mine differently - because I have time, space and patience. I bring the potted plants inside and place them in a warm, sunny location. I cut them back about 6" and feed them once a month. (You can root the cuttings if you wish). In mid- to late March I cut them back again and increase the feeding to once a week. Wherever you have cut, branching will occur...so that by May you will have many stems and abundant flowers. Some of my geraniums, after this treatment, are 3' across and breathtaking!
Reply:you dig them out, roots and all, and hang them in your basement, upside down....as spring nears, you will notice new growth...plant them when it is warm enough...they will be really big this way...it is really very simple, they dig out easily..
Reply:geraniums are an annual and depends on where u live
Reply:CUT ALL THE STEMS LEAVING 5 INCHES CLOSE TO THE GROUND WITH A SHARP KNIFE. WHEN IT GROWS IT WILL HAVE VICE BUSHY SHAPE..
Reply:my friend just cuts them back to about 3 inches and then brings them to our place to keep in our farm sales shed...it does not freeze in there and it is kept dark....he grows his in pots.


They just get more and more gorgeous as the years pass!
Reply:dig them out. Carefully, with a flame, just scorch the roots that show. Then dip them in hot parrafin wax. Lay them in a cool dry place until spring. This is a trick my great grandfather taught me that I use every year.
