I live in the UP. I have a potted Geranium which I first brought into the garage before the frost & today brought into the house. It still looks good with green leave and flowers at the end of their bloom. What is the best approach to keeping the Geranium over the winter for next summer? I have read about just leaving it it's pot & others recommend taking it out of the pot & soil. Do I water it? Thank you for any recommendations you may have.

Hello
You can treat the geranium as a houseplant. While it might start to get “leggy” , it can survive and even continue to bloom. Here is a guide- https://hort.extension.wisc.edu/2024/09/26/overwintering-tender-geraniums/
