Geraniums can take a little frost, but now is the time to get them ready for winter next spring. Phyllis Stephens shows you how in this edition of Great Gardens.
You don't root them in water! They get waterroots and once put in soil these roots are unfit and the plant will have to put new energy in making soil roots. You loose at least 2-3 weeks before the plant really starts growing and blooming.
Put them in a sunny spot indoor and water just as you would if it was planted outside or as you would water your indoor plant. These planta will stay alive for the whole winter. Comes next summmer, move them outside and plant them the ground =]
You get multiple plants from one single plant this way.
Love Phyllis' clips! But after you water them in and they are in the tray, then what? You didn't finish the instructions. Where do I put them and do I keep watering them?

i used to raise "crystal palace gem" (the kind that she has) in the greenhouse but i threw most of them away, because theyre FAR too stringy.
