This was so helpful! I’m new to this. Quick question, once they’re potted up 6-8 weeks before the last frost, what’s the watering schedule?
All I did this winter was put them in a sunny window in my cool basement and water once in awhile. They seem to be doing fine. Haven’t put them outside yet though, so we’ll see what happens.
Last year I grew an enormous Scented Geranium in a 3 gal pot. I wasn't sure how to over-winter it, so I took 20 cuts and put them all in old yogurt containers in soil under a small LED light and left the mother plant in the big pot with a few leaves still attached on the floor. Everything was stored in the garage, it gets about 40° in there during the coldest days of winter. I watered maybe once a month. Fast forward 5 months and I have given away half of the new plants, they all rooted! Now the mother is waking up and growing. I am so glad Spring is here again!
that's amazing, can't belive that method reallyworks.
The video, as well as several commenters, mentions that you might need to give the 'a bit of water". What is the best way to do that?
That is not geraniums but pelargonium.
Thank you for showing us how to do it …..❤
Excellent Presentation!😍Thanks deeply foR sharinG your super fun technique to overwinter my Geranium Plant KiD…YiPPee!✌😃🙏😇🌹🌞🌹🍂🍁🎃🍁🍂☕🍵☕
I follow your tips and clips – they are great. But I have a question: I live in Colorado (4B zone), have a huge high shelf in a heated garage that can house my 40 gorgeous geranium potted plants with mixed annuals and perennials. I have clipped them all back, sprinkled systemic house plant insect control granules on soil near roots and they are ready for winter. There will be blast of cold when we open & close the garage door all winter, there is also light coming in from overhead lighting. Garage stays about 65- during the winter. They sit high so heat rises. Do I need to put paper bags over each pot so they think they’re in dormancy or just let them be and water very little once a month?
As a Southern girl, I could usually just bring mine in on cold days. I live in AZ now, and winter is geranium season. We have to bring them inside during summer to protect them from the heat!
