How to Overwinter Geraniums – A Gardening Guide

1. Remove each individual geranium plant from its pot gently and shake off any excess soil from the roots.
2. Cut the greens and stems back to about 2 inches.
3. Place all of the plants in a paper bag and store in a dark place such as a closet or basement.
