    You Can Have Glorious Geraniums At Your Window In Winter

    Glorious Geraniums At Your Window In Winter. indoor gardening with geraniums
    Blooms from November to late May when I take them outside!

    I knew I was going to grow geraniums in my winter window someday. As a young girl I would occasionally see artwork in old children’s books, and I would dream of having my own home with red geraniums basking in the winter sunlight to cheer my home.

    Now I am growing them winter after winter – and with good success. And so can you! It only takes a little planning and know-how.

    Strategies For Success With Geraniums

    1. Locate a window where you can place or hang a pot near the glass. You may need to allow for closing a curtain at night. A single south-facing window is fine, but more windows is better. As the sun’s path drops lower in the winter sky, it shines sunlight ever deeper into the room, giving energy to the plant for continuous budding and blooming.

    The sun gives us energy, too!

    2. If you already grow geraniums outside, you can repot several and bring them in.

    When saving for the winter, dig up your geraniums and place them in a pot that can comfortable fit their root ball. Prune them back by one-third to one-half, focusing on stems that are woody or leggy. Set the pots on a deep saucer or plate and water thoroughly.

    3. You can also do as I’ve done and buy a pre-potted hanging geranium to avoid re-potting. Toward the end of the summer (Aug), many full service nurseries often mark their stock way down. The red geranium above cost me only $9.00, and it was beautiful over 2 winters.

    4. The best time when to prune geraniums is in late fall or just before you bring them indoors. Don’t be afraid to cut the geranium back to 6-7″ tall. Soon, it will force new growth, covering the cuts. It will be dense and full, and the blooms will last longer. One year I didn’t cut mine back in the fall and we had monster plants, but a bit thinner. Let your space needs determine if you cut back or not. Either way, you will have color and alive-ness.

    Miracle Gro Indoor is the best fertilizer I know, but any good flower fertilizer will provide all the essentials your plant will need.

    Whatever brand you choose, use a balanced fertilizer every time you water. Your plant should set new blooms all through the winter.

    In January the sun will be enough for lots of blooms

    I water well every 7-8 days knowing in the drier winter air it will dry out faster. Don’t over water or your geraniums won’t thrive. Seven days apart is usually adequate to humidify your geranium in the dry indoor heated air, but you will be the best judge of when to water.

    Baby your plants by pinching off yellowing leaves. This is normal, given that geraniums, which had lots of sun all summer, have to adjust to less and less. As the blooms fade, pinch them off. This encourages new budding and fullness.

    Instead of just dreaming about it, I hope you will put a cheery geranium in your winter window. With a little care, I guarantee its blooms will enliven the most drab of months.

    Hi! I’m Jacqueline!

    Thanks for being part of this journey with me.
    Welcome to my own little place on the internet! Home is where I love to be. I feel there is no greater place to incubate souls. These days you’ll find me using my experiences here to write about herbal remedies and natural health research — a big passion of mine. But being a wife and mother is not easy. It is challenging and potentially lonely. I get that. I wanted to create a place to connect with and support other moms for creating a natural, healthy, and fulfilling home life.

      Love your blog, the recipes, the music, the scriptures, and now ( having always loved Red Geraniums) just have to “gift” you with this poem by Martha Haskell Clark):
      Life did not bring me silken gowns, Nor jewels for my hair, Nor signs of gabled foreign towns, In distant countries fair, But I can glimpse, beyond my pane, a green and friendly hill, And red geraniums aflame upon my window sill.
      The brambled cares of everyday, The tiny humdrum things, May bind my feet when they would stray, But still my heart has wings, When red geraniums are bloomed against my window glass, And low above my green-sweet hill the gypsy wind-clouds pass.

        And if my dreaming ne’er come true, The brightest and the best, But leave me lone my journey through, I’ll set my heart at rest, And thank God for home-sweet things, a green and friendly hill, And red geraniums aflame upon my window sill.

      Hello, Mrs. Line,
      I’m itching to know where the illustration in your post came from (“artwork from old children’s book”)!

        Hi Breezy!
        I have absolutely no idea what book that picture comes from, and I have tried to find out several times because I plan to use it whenever I do another re-make of my blog format. I love it too.

              I have the answer to this question it’s from: “A childs garden of verses” by Leslie Smith.
