I am bringing in a potted geranium this winter... Thanks for the tip about the soapy water and the sticky traps. I am lucky to be in zone 8b here in eastern Oregon
What color is your geranium? I love my pink ones. We saw some really deep red ones last week in a town planter blooming their heads off. They we're gorgeous and huge!
You’re one of the first gardeners that overwinter the annuals as well. And also I like how you use the paper bag to overwinter. I’m wondering if we could do a zoom video I’m not very good with the technology the spring on bringing the annuals out
I am in NYC. I believe my zone is 6b. The pansies are in pots and window boxes. Your thoughts on over-wintering...leave outside...or bring indoors? Thanks!
haha yes I did! I was always getting those confused so now I just say 5 and 6. (I put some text up on the screen that I had it wrong, was it not visable?)
This past year I experimented with various Supertunia, Tidal-wave, and Wave Petunias from Proven Winners throughout my landscaping and pots. I was blown away at the size and aggressiveness of such a beautiful plant. Have you winterized any Tidal or Wave Petunias? Is it better to cut clippings close to the root ball?
Aren't they amazing?! I haven't tried Tidal but I did bring in an Easy Wave Rose this year. I cut them back pretty close, to about 4" so there's room for new growth and less that the roots have to provide for. I bring so many in that I need to cut them back simply for the space. My main goal is really just to keep them alive until later winter when I can start to take cuttings and propagate them.
I had no idea you could over winter petunias! I'm definitely going to give it a try. As far as watering, you said you let them go dry, but then when and how much after they're dry? Love your video. Looking forward to watching more as time allows.
Not completely, just enough water to keep them alive so I can propagate them in the spring. When it gets closer to spring, I'll start watering more and feeding them a bit too to encourage enough growth for cuttings.
I love it this video is what I need this year I espend to much money on plantas then right now I'm going to my garden and fallos your instrucción. Thanks ❤
I've never overwintered one but you should be able to since it's a perennial in warmer zones. I would cut it back a bit, no more than a 3rd and make sure it has bright light but no direct sun.
Thank you so much! I am happy that you found the video useful. I just got my second set of lights yesterday and hoping to get them up tomorrow. I don't think I mentioned in the video they also have a timer with 3 different settings. I am an Amazon Associate and may make a small commission from your purchase. Led Strip Lights I talked about: amzn.to/3DQgQvD
The lights are from Amazon. I forgot to mention they have a timer too. I love that they are so thin that I can't actually see them, that they're hidden behind the shelf trim. I have lights in the other room and they are blindingly bright! Are you bringing anything in for the winter? amzn.to/3RL10Wt I may receive a small commission from this link.
@@PetalsAndMetal thank you! I don't have a lot of great natural light in my home so I'll be depending on lights! I am going to try to bring in my begonias, geraniums, petunias, and coleus! I'm very excited to try all of these since this was my first year with gardening at all! It would be awesome to have a head start next spring and not have to buy so much!
@@ladyheroin7590 your excitement has brought a smile to my face! Keep me posted on how things are going through out the winter. There's so much joy in watching a plant grow!
👋 Hello! I also named my four year old Susie.. just wanted to mention that haha😊 I just wanted to know how everything grew for you this year(cuttings and all) considering this video was from last year? Also, how do you take and root your petunia cuttings in the spring time? Do you leave your led lights on 12 hours? Thankyou much! 🙂 Will subscribe 👍
Your four year old has an awesome name! Lol Lights are left on for 16 hours. Coleus did great, inpatients didn't make it. I ran out of room and ended up tossing the petunias because they are so easy to start from seed.
Thanks for all the great info!
You bet!
Great job making this video! So much information!
Thanks for making this video. Very informative. I have some coleus to overwinter. Thank you ❤
Glad it was helpful!
Love love love your Empoli bottle on your shelf
Thanks! I have a neat collection of glass.
Tank you i love the idea to bring in to the house .👏

Oops! I accidentally deleted your comment. So sorry!
Fantastic video 😊full of information presented in a loving knowledgeable way easy to listen to.Thanks
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your experience end knowledge ❤
Love, love your video so helpful for overwintering flowers.😊
Thank you Ellie! What will you be overwintering?
Really I had no idea! Thank you so much. I’m gonna give this a try. Can you explain a bit more about growing out and taking cuttings please
Thanks for the video! Very helpful!
Thank you for letting me know it was helpful! It encourages me to keep making videos sharing my passion. Best of luck with your plants!
Good video, thanks! Have you ever tried to over-winter pansies? I planted a bunch in late September and thought I might try to over-winter.
Pansies usually come back for me just leaving them in the ground. Don't know your zone so can't say if that would work for you.
I’m Sabrina from Campbell’s Freedom Farm. I also overwinter my annuals. One day would love to do a zoom video on this
Hi Sabrina!
You’re one of the first gardeners that overwinter the annuals as well. And also I like how you use the paper bag to overwinter. I’m wondering if we could do a zoom video I’m not very good with the technology the spring on bringing the annuals out
I am in NYC. I believe my zone is 6b. The pansies are in pots and window boxes. Your thoughts on over-wintering...leave outside...or bring indoors? Thanks!
I've not brought Pansies in before, have always left them outside. Since they are in pots, make sure you check them for moisture.
How warm is the temperature in your room
Usually 72-74 degrees. We keep our home pretty warm.
Awesome!
That's pretty much my favorite word! Thank you and I hope you have the most awesome day!
As I understand it, there is no border between zones 5A and 6B. Did you mean 5B and 6A? Thanks for your video.
haha yes I did! I was always getting those confused so now I just say 5 and 6. (I put some text up on the screen that I had it wrong, was it not visable?)

How about New Guinea impatiens? Can we do these?
I've never overwintered one but you should be able to since it's a perennial in warmer zones. I would cut it back a bit, no more than a 3rd and make sure it has bright light but no direct sun.
The lime colored sweet potato vine doesn't make potatoes.
Mine make tubers that I save for starts in the spring.
Where did you get your led light strips? Love your content. Very informative.

What type of soap-?
Many people use a Castile soap. I just use whatever dish soap I have on hand.
So can I eat that potato
It will taste awful. These are bred for ornamental not for eating.
Great video! Just enough info - not too much yammering 😅
Lol thanks!
