- Lawanda shows us 3 different ways to overwinter your geraniums. If you have geraniums this video will demostrate ways to keep them alive through the winter in Wisconsin. You will see that it is possible to keep those precious geraniums plants for years to come.
Thank you for the useful video. Geranium environment is very different from Korea. Because winter is the dormant period. Summer is the dormant season for geraniums in Korea. Geraniums grow well and bloom well in winter.
Greetings from the other side of the lake (Michigan)! I over wintered my geranium for the first time and wondered about the white shoots, etc. and didn't know the next steps.Now I know! Thank you! We northerners have such long winters it's so wonderful to have garden projects to start at this time of year!
I'm glad I'm not the only one that loses some of their plants overwintering. I thought I was doing it wrong. Some of them make it and some are dried and shriveled. Thanks for the video. BTW I'm in NE Pennsylvania and we have long cold winters too.
The method I've been using for 15 years is... I bring in one plant in a pot. It stays alive in a basement window or under lights. In February I simply take as many cutting off it and root them in a jar of water. These rooted cuttings are then potted up to provide me with a dozen or more healthy new plants to be used in planters or directly in my garden.
What an excellent idea! I overwinter mine on the basement floor and they get a little sunlight from the tiny windows. I brought them downstairs mid October before first frost and watered them lightly every 2 to 3 weeks. I just brought them outside last week, and 3 out of the 5 survived. I've done cuttings before and they root very quickly. But I LOVE your idea to take cuttings in February to be planted outside end of April/early May, and will definitely be doing this next February!
Thanks so much for taking the trouble to film this. Some really useful hints, and I had never thought of the coffee filter - a great idea! And good that I can just put them in a box in my shed for the winter. I will try it.
"Its not an exact science, I just put in whatever I feel like", sounds like my home baking!
Thanks for posting. This is beneficial to homeowners that are gardeners.
Thank you , great information! Well made video and straight to the point.. Greetings from Dublin.
Thank you for sharing this video! I didn't know you can save them like the last two ways you showed. :) God bless you.
What a great video!! Exactly what I was looking for!
Thank you so much. I wish I would have known about putting soda cans and filler popcorn in the bottom of pots, I have 2 big heavy pots for a miniature. lime tree and a miniature lemon tree. Bringing them in is very hard heavy work.
Really good video, especially since you give a few different techniques.

Thank you for this informative tutorial
Thank you so much for very detailed video
Very informative, thanks
Nice video. Thanks
It's a good idea to put another coffee filter in between the potting mix and the foam peanuts because eventually the two will mix and that's not good.
I do the same with used weed block
Thank you! I'm going to try this out.
I put min i my basmet in wenter and bring them up this spring they are all green now
Thank you greatly appreciate.
appreciate watching this you tube today. I have a big beautiful, still blooming pink geranium. Read that they become woody if they are not overwintered. Wondering if 'woody' means they won't eventually bloom as much. Do the geraniums kept as indoor plants, 'bloom less' and this is why they can be overwintered this way? I really love the plant I have and sorting out now the best way to preserve it. I may just bring it in and put in the basement. Would like to take a few cuttings off of it to grow more plants. Thanks again and cheerio from west coast canada.

My daughter-in-law used the soda cans in a big pot - - couple months later the smell of mold was emitting from pots. Emptied pot and found that mold had grown in all of the cans - yuck! Perhaps empty water bottles with the lids tightened down would be a better suggestion.
You can use bubble wrap instead of the tins. Save the bubble wrap from your parcels.
Great idea! Thank you.
Lawanda what's the longest you had a geranium. Great video

Thank you for the great tips! Two years ago, I tried putting several in large sealed box over the winter in my basement, but didn't open the box until April, and they were all dead. Do you check on them at all over the winter? If so, do you mist their roots at all? When do you open the box first time and start potting them (obviously leaving them inside until after last frost)?
Useful Info Thanks malc UK
I get flies from the soil inside the house. Any solution?
I overwintered my geranium from a small pot andtook careof them xatly the way you did.Now in summer they arefine leaves but notflowering by mid-June. What amI doing wrong?ANy suggestions??
If you have a power bulb for plants will they live, by leave them in the potter soil, that’s what’s I am planning on doing, this fall, since I live in Chicago areas
I'm in mid-Michigan and I over winter geraniums, elephant ears, and those spike plants in my basement under shop lights.
I left my spike plants in the pots outside but I'm going to get them out if it's not too late. Thanks

LOL...Those are the sorriest looking geraniums i've ever seen!
@SuperWoodyboy I agree.
My geraniums are green all vinter, I leave them in the basement, in the pot, with some light and water slightly through the winter. Then I change the soil in february/march. No dead flowers 🌸
