we have a geranium plant that probably needed to be deadheaded a WHILE ago.. however I didn't know about this until I came to this forum.. I also thought deadheading them anytime was fine.. however I found out you need to do this before they make the seeds.. The blooms on the geraniums were very dried out.. but some WEREN't making seeds yet. however it has been about 2-3 weeks and I do not see ANY blooms at ALL.
While taking cuttings is not technically how to keep geraniums over winter, it is how to make sure you have inexpensive geraniums for next year. Start by taking 3- to 4-inch cuttings from the green (still soft, not woody) part of the plant.Strip off any leaves on the bottom half of the cutting.dvertisement. If the cool area you have in mind does not have enough light, place a lamp or light with a fluorescent bulb very close to the plant. Keep this light on 24 hours. This will provide enough light for getting geraniums to last over winter indoors, though the plant may get a little leggy.
