WITH the weather cooling down and winter well on its way, there\u2019s never been a more crucial time to prepare your garden.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And before the inevitable frost hits, your geraniums should be front and centre of your mind.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to a gardening expert, late September is key to ensuring the plants survive the upcoming winter \u2013 and there\u2019s a few steps<\/span> to follow to get this done properly.<\/p>\n

TikTok user Envii, aka @enviiuk, explained: \u201cWe\u2019ve come to that time of year where we need to take the geraniums inside \u2013 just so that they can survive the winter really.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo you need to do this before there\u2019s a frost.\u201d<\/p>\n

The social media user then launched into the method, showing three simple steps that will mean the plants can thrive again next<\/span> spring.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause I don\u2019t want them to flower now for the winter. I just want them to be rested.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to take each flower \u2013 even the ones that haven\u2019t opened up \u2013 and take them off.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you turn them to one side, if they want to come off, they\u2019ll just snap<\/span> straight off.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Once the flowers had been removed from each, Envii told his 36k followers to pay attention to the root of the plant.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He continued:\u00a0 \u201cWith really long roots, you can trim those off as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt won\u2019t hurt the plant.\u201d<\/p>\n

And there\u2019s one final thing to do before they are to be put away for the duration of the winter months.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The gardener went on to point out a plant where the green stem had turned brown with a hole in the middle.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He then said: \u201cThe other thing as well is that if you\u2019ve got any dead growth with a hole in the middle, that\u2019s where the infection and disease can get in.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo what you should do is clip it off and then there\u2019s healthy tissue \u2013 that\u2019s not going to rot or anything.\u201d<\/p>\n

Once he\u2019d completed his three-strong checklist, the green-fingered pro demonstrated how he planted each of the geraniums into a small black pot, again one at a time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cAll I\u2019m going to do is top that up with compost and gently put it in.\u201d<\/p>\n

But once this is done, where should organised gardeners store their geraniums?<\/p>\n

The man said you can follow one of two very simple options.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Firstly, he explained: \u201cYou can take them inside into your house and put them on a cool windowsill.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t want them above a radiator \u2013 you just want them in a cool area where there\u2019s ventilation.\u201d<\/p>\n

But he said if you have an unheated greenhouse, that\u2019s an even better option.<\/p>\n

Whether you choose the house or a greenhouse, the social media user\u2019s next piece of advice is the same regardless.<\/p>\n

He concluded: \u201cI will give that just a little bit of water but then it won\u2019t get watered again until next spring when I want it to come back to life.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou just want it to be dormant. Check it every so often, remove any leaves that are dying.<\/p>\n
