How do I overwinter pelargoniums? Do I prune them? Are they better in a greenhouse or a garage?

I leave mine in a unheated greenhouse all winter, I only prune if they are big or take off broken bits. Then water occasionally 😊

@angiecrazycatlady Ah, thanks :) Should I pot them with compost or earth do you think?

I would always use compost as earth can carry disease. In spring you can cut it back for a nice busy plant then use the bits you cut off for cuttings to make more plants 😊
