"When I grow up, I'll never ever set geraniums"
exactly what I told my mother over 20 years.
But eventually weakened the heart on a Tuscan holiday . The red geraniums in terracotta pots to the landscape, it looked simply magical.
hmm .. you could even possibly But think about it ....
are again a few years later, but some geraniums in pink and white moved in with me.
moment they bloom just for the repeated times I've tried all methods of overwintering, the rooms the winter is my favorite. They stand with me for a strong pruning in late fall in the cool laundry room directly at the window. Again and again she pushed a few flowers .. then they come for a short time into the living room.
is to spend the winter there are many methods that those here from an old Betty Bossi book
before storage is cleaned out the whole plant and cut back severely.
The cool windowsill method I used in recent years. What I like, the plants always look good, not so verstrupft and barren as the other methods.
Since I only have about 10 plants, I have enough space ....
Many overwinter your geraniums successfully directly in the balcony box . The plants are cleaned out only slightly and then overwinter in the cool cellar, do not dry out completely, pour but little and replace in the spring of the earth.
The Sandbox was equally easy to shake off all soil from the roots, cut them back and set the plants very close together in a wet sandbox. They come so well on a very dark, cool cellar well over the winter.
The plastic bag method I had a few failures, probably it was too hot ... but there are plenty of geraniums owners they apply successfully.
In about 90 days it again, and they are ausgesommert before kitchen window!
For all varieties : the stationary geranium are much easier to overwinter as the hanging geraniums. They like the winter break, the losses are higher and the flower begins 2-3 weeks later than purchased.
