i have collection of geraniums - ivy, martha washington, pelagoniums plus several varieties of succulents. i trim back summer growth starting now & repot all into white vinyl planters i got at yard sale. old potting soil, they don't need the good stuff, i don't want to encourage themto grow. i water lightly about once a month. i keep all in a garden shed. they get some light but not much. i bring them out in mar or april and shield fr sun w lathe scraps until they are hardened off and can stay out w/o sunburn. if temps drop to freezing (as frequently happens here) the lathe also helps protect the plants. while in the shed, i do once in a while in late winter clean up any dry leaves etc when i am out watering & checking on them. kinda cool to hike out thru the snow to shed and play in my "garden" for a few.
