I have two big pots of geraniums - now it is getting cold - what should I do with them for the winter? - they are still blooming! Thank you for your help.

Hi Elena, Couple choices. you can bring them indoors and grow as houseplants. you can do some pruning if they are just too massive or you can take 4-inch stem cuttings, place in moist soil, put a plastic bag over plants and let them root. once rooted you can grow on as houseplants. they do need high light or at least some supplemental lighting or they stretch out and get leggy. good luck, Sandy
