C'est nul
We live in Colorado and we over-winter our container geraniums on a big table in front of an un-curtained Southeast-facing window in our garden-level basement. We cut them back a bit when we bring them in from our patio when the nighttime temps dip into the low 40's, putting the pots on two boot trays to contain any watering drainage, water them well once a week throughout the winter months, and continue to feed them once a month. They get plenty of winter sun from the un-curtained window, and they actually start to get a few blooms about a month before Spring arrives the next year. They do have some leaf loss in the middle of the plant, but they fill in nicely by late Spring. In the Spring, we break up the soil around them and add more potting soil as needed as soon as we take them back outside to our patio. We've done this with our geraniums for the last 15 years and they're still with us. It sure is cheaper than buying new ones!
Just the information I was looking for. Thank you.
I'm moving this winter. I have a very beautiful small rose bush. 8" or 10" pot. I'm moving from a 5a to a 6a growing zone. Can I just prune it back and put it in a box with wood bark around the pot, to keep it stable being moved around? I'm not going to tape the box up. Just weave the box top shut and leave it in the garage till moving day.. or maybe a plastic tube with air holes for air flow. (Shrews try to get in our garage when the frost hits and my cat lacks a killer instinct. Hippy feline free loader. Lol)
I put my geraniums in my garage on the floor in the window box they came in.
(garage is kept around 48 degrees) I live in New Hampshire and i never watered all winter.
Any light they received was by virtue of some indirect light that came in through the garage windows,(ie; the box was ON THE FLOOR)
I had cut them back a little before storing, and in the spring, I brought them out, watered and fed, and had the most beautiful and bountiful flowers I ever had.
It takes a LOT to hurt these plants.
