Overwintering Plants and Geraniums with two Methods | How to Overwinter Geraniums Plant |

Hi There,
Today’s video is for Overwatering Geraniums plants.
The frost is coming , we have to save our Geraniums So that we can grow them again in next spring .
I have 4 geranium plants in a big pot , today I will take them out from the pot and give them a hard pruning and cleaning with water so that no bugs are there.
I am going to leave them in shady area for 3 days so that they can dry out.
I will overwinter them in Two ways and they will be in my garage ( if outside temperature is 32 F then garage temperature will be 44 F so 12 degree difference which is good).
No 1 . Wrapping them with newspaper and storing in a plastic container with lid , one side of lid will be open a little bit for air circulation so that plants can breathe.
No 2 . Putting perlite in a plastic container and burring the Geranium plants in a way that they are covered with a thick layer of perlite ( perlite is a good insulator) because perlite can protect them from cold then I will cover the container lid with leaving one side unlock for airflow .
There will be no water or moisture, I will check these boxes every 3 to 4 weeks if there is anything wrong like mold etc.
If everything goes smooth then in 2nd week of February I will plant them in small pots and will keep indoors till outside temperature is warm enough , once the temperature is above 50 F then I will put them outside in some shady area for two weeks then in full sun.
I hope this experiment will be successful, I will update you guys in my future videos .
Thanks for watching the video.

Amazing that the plants store over winter with these methods. I’m going to try this.

Thanks, I appreciate your comments, yes it is very straightforward method, just wrap in newspaper and put in a box, you can add one thermocol box for more protection.

Thanks for saving, I have never known about saving them in perlite. I thank you for the tip of saving the plants in paper and cardboard and then in the plastic container. My garage is unheated and gets very close to freezing. I will use your tips to try to save some plants.

Thanks for the video, yes I overwintered them in garage and start giving some water spray in February and March, 2024 then planted outside in April, 2024 and they are fully grown now, will do the same this year also.
