Thank you.
Hi. Thx I followed every step you suggested and. Now that it’s spring I’m ready to prepare to plant … but your video stops short of the replanting steps. It appears that you’ve cut them back to the stem for replanting. Care to share tips on that process?
I will try this. I've brought in pelargoniums before, in their pots, and while that works well, it also took up a lot of space. It also brought in the creepy crawlies that were in the pots.
I have never had any luck keeping my geraniums this way, so I have resorted to repotting in more manageable containers and keep them growing all winter on my heated deck. Friends are jealous of my indoor garden stocked with over 30 geraniums of all colors. I usually still lose a few but also plant seeds as they show up and end up with more than I loose.
I occasionally will buy new plants in the spring to get a particular color. 2 seasons ago it was orange and my over wintered plant is huge, and I have gotten a few cuttings, so more orange in the garden this year.
Bonus is I have fresh cut geraniums for the table all winter long. Also grow a few tomatoes, and vine fresh in the dead of winter is a treat. Cheers
Going to try this for the first time this winter, as well as growing some from cuttings.
Will this work for scented geraniums?
I'm originally from Maine, my grandmother was a wizard with these,she brought them in at the time of her choosing and simply cut them back to the point of nothing green left and set them in a south facing window, over the winter they came back nicely, I'll always remember her for such things, nice show, please keep up the good work !!
Will this work on regular seed geraniums?
There not Geraniums they are pelargonium they come from South Africa and do not like the cold weather Geraniums come from England and injoy cold wet weather
Among the easiest of plants to overwinter. Like all over wintered plants, a little neglect goes a long way, they need little attention, when established in a proper setting.
