geraniums

I cut them back a bit and use the bits for cuttings as an insurance policy. Some go into a cool unheated room with a north-facing window and the ones outside in pots which are quite mature now and in gritty compost are put in a place shielded from rain. I take a cutting or two for indoors but don't otherwise cut them back at all. It rarely gets below 3 centigrade here and they usually survive.

I am planning on wrapping my pelargoniums (proper name so I understand LOL) in newspaper, bare rooted and keep in cold shed... I do hope they survive.

I bung mine into the unseated greenhouse. They are fine. Wake them up in the spring.

I’ve had reasonable success keeping favourites overwinter. I pot them up, trim them back a bit and tidy them up and keep them in an unheated utility room. Practically no water until spring when they look as if they want to start growing again. I’ve also had success taking cuttings from the new spring shoots.

I think there’s less change in temperature in the utility room rather than an unheated greenhouse, and it’s also darker. I don’t know if that makes a difference.

I have dug mine up ,trimmed them to a manageable size , put them in pots and have them on the spare bedroom window I’ll wait till spring and take cuttings from them . Kept nearly dry they do ok but not dried out
