hanging basket dilemma??
« on: October 09, 2010, 14:46 »
Hello I have just taken down my lovely hanging baskets and wondered if I could salvage any of the more hardy fuschia and geranium plants, it seems so wasteful to throw them away.

I have potted them up and intend to keep them in a plastic type of stand alone greenhouse would this be ok or would they need to come indoors.

Any advice would be most helpful

Thank you

ps if you had not already gathered I am a novice  :) :) :)
if wishes were changes.......

The fuschias should be ok in the placcy greenhouse (make sure you ventilate on all but the coldest days) but the geraniums do need to come inside IMO. You can give them a bit of a prune to save space, if they have got very big

As Mumofstig says - if it gets really cold, you could bring the fuschias in as well, but they are just a bit hardier than geraniums.
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.
