Three Ways to Overwinter Geraniums Successfully

Option 1: Keep Potted Indoors

Place in a sunny window and care as a houseplant.

Option 2: Bare-Root Storage

Dig up, shake off soil, and store in a paper bag in a cool basement.

Option 3: Root Cuttings (Best Started in October)

1. Cut a 5-inch stem section just below a joint.
2. Remove all but the top leaves.
3. Plant in a 4-inch pot with potting soil.
4. Keep moist (not soggy) in a sunny window for a week.
5. Then care as a normal houseplant.

Spring Payoff

By spring you'll have many small geraniums ready for outdoor planting.
