September 26, 2011Q.Ivy and Regular Geranium
We go to AZ for 6 months during winter. We cannot water or care for plants during this time. I have 4 plants in pots. Would they come back next spring if I just set they in a dark, cool basement?

Certified ExpertA.Without any water at all, the likelihood of surviving is minimal at best. I suppose you could try. Is there no one available to care for them? Can you not take them with you? I wish I could offer more help but there is little you can really do but hope.

September 28, 2011Q.Yellow Leaves on Geranium
I brought all 3 of my healthy geraniums inside (Rhode Island) . . . all sitting by the south facing window and now all have yellow leaves and it is getting worse. I really don't think I overwatered them. Any advice? I haven't cut them back yet. . . should I?

Certified ExpertA.It still may be that they were over watered. They need only minimal water when brought indoors. Make sure the soil is dry to the touch before watering. Pruning them back will help some.

Certified ExpertA.Indoors they can survive down to about 50 F, but at that temp, they would merely survive. They would not thrive.
