Creator's Key Takeaways

we had our first cold night last night and everything that I have read about preserving geranium says you need to do it before the first Frost or freeze

the main goal here is to dig up your plant obviously doing as little damage as possible and getting as much of the roots as possible

I live in Alabama Z AB so we are very humid um so I'll probably check every 3 to four weeks cuz I've never done this before

Creator's Tips & Advice

Dig up geraniums before the first frost or freeze
Place plants upside down in a box to dry for a couple of days
Check on stored plants every 2 to 4 weeks and mist if super dry
Cut off all blooms before saving the plants

YouTube Video Description

This year I was lucky enough to find an entire flat of my favorite geraniums on sale! So instead of letting them go softly into the night (aka winter) I'm pulling them out and saving them for next year! Apparently you can box geraniums and save them for next year... let's get started on this new adventure!
