Cooking pelargonium winterization

I have a high Pelargonium bush with red buds which adorned the garden all summer. But come autumn, and in October it had to be put in the warm house (can be put in a glassed-in balcony in the apartment). What actions need to spend it, how to crop, to plant bloomed in the next year?

What you need

· Sharp knife, scissors or garden shears;

· A jar of water for cuttings and flower soil.

Step-by-step instruction

1. Firstly, you need to remove all the dry leaves and cut off the flower stalks with buds.

2. Trim the shoots with leaves down to the ground, leaving stumps height of 1 cm from the soil (remains in the soil root, and it will give new stems) are cut into cuttings and put in a jar with water until it landed at ground. You can leave 2-3 low escape, not quite cut the stems.

3. Cuttings better to land in a pot with soil and cover with a plastic bottle or a plastic bag for the condensate. Thus, the cuttings take root well than they will stand long in the water. Moreover, rooting at any time of the year, without a difference.

If it is not cut, then winter is pulled pelargonium, she leaves and buds are small. If you give her a rest, a plant in the summer will delight the gorgeous flowers.Autumn and winter of Pelargonium - a period of rest. No fertilizing in the pot does not need to make a flower.

Trimmed pelargonium can be stored on a veranda at a temperature of 10-12 degrees, or put in a cellar and cover.

In the spring you can put a flower on the windowsill and begin to care for the plant.
