Hi....I'm in S.W. Lower Michigan.......near Kalamazoo.
My G'ma had south bedroom with eastern and southern windows in which I remember she had the best graniums growing and blossoming over the winter. I just try to keep some living and not getting too "leggie" in an unused bedroom that is unheated and has an eastern window. I have had "reasonable" results letting my plants hibernate with just a small amount of watering. This year I'm trying keeping some bare roots in the basement, which I know is a common way to winter plants.
Anybody else like geraniums or have any special hints to pass along?? Right now I'm seeing some yellowing of some leaves on those in the bedroom. I don't know if they were still wet when I brought the pots in from outside.....we'd had a lot of rain.
