How do I properly care for/prune my Geranium plant?
After I brought it in for the winter, it has taken to growing straight up, like a tree.
HELP!

Sounds like insufficient light, common winter problem with short days, weaker sun. Try a plant light. In spring you can transfer to deeper pot, pile soil around stem.
Hi Dorinda,

I live in 8a. I place my geraniums in the porch next to a wall and cover them with a frost blanket all winter. Frost blankets run about $15-20 but are worth it. I watered my plants twice in the winter. My geraniums, foxtail asparagus, Lily of the Nile, kalanchoe, Purple heart, and citronella plants look as good as they did in the summer. It snowed 2 days ago, and my plants seem to have survived unscathed.
Mine do the same thing. Minimize water, prune back a bit & put out in spring. 90% of the time mine come back bigger & better.
