According to RHS, soft stemmed pelargoniums can't be stored in a semi
dormant state over winter, so presumably not much point in hanging them
upside down somewhere cool in the house.
The plan this year is to trim to 4", put them in smaller pots, and cover
the whole thing with 2-3 layers of bubble wrap. I'll close the top with a
peg but maybe leave a little space for ventilation. As my shed proved too
damp last year (I lost the lot), I'm thinking of leaving these outdoors
against a south facing wall.
Anyone got any bright ideas? I don't have a greenhouse or cold frame BTW.
Thanks for any suggestions

Cut them back and either take these as cuttings or keep the old plant as it
will regrow or both. These would be better off being kept on a sunny
windowsill but away from any frost and hardly watered at all over winter. I
only water mine when they ask for some, they wilt a bit.
