If they need re-potting plant them in the next size pot with fresh soil and make sure there is proper drainage,spray them down with horticultural oil,bring them inside and place in a bright location,water when soil is dry to the touch
In the Fall (before the first frost), carefully dig up your geraniums and pot them in 6”- 8” diameter containers, with lightweight potting soil. Cut the plants back by a third to a half. Water the pots and let drain, then place in a bright, cool spot.
I think you can probably do that. Cut them back and move the pots to the same area you used to move the bare root plants too. They will be dormant until you take them out and start watering again.
Yes and this site will tell you how (plus two other options for over-wintering geraniums!https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/geranium/how-to-save-geraniums-over-the-winter.htm Good luck!
Yes but just water very lightly to keep green. Too much & they'll rot. Keep out of heavy rains. They look lovely in terracotta or coloured pots.
Yes. I keep mine in a sunroom, however a sunny location inside your home or garage will work. In lower south, a warm corner outside house works well also; then cover for extra cold snap.
Yes, you don't really need to cut them back just put them in the garage until you're ready to put back out.
