John" Great looking geraniums you have there! I was wondering the same thing this afternoon when I took five cuttings from my large red geranium from last year. I thought.. well I want more of these so here goes. I made my cuts below a leaf node and trimmed off the excess top leaves..leaving two small leaves on each cutting. I am not sure how successful I will be as I am not an expert on geraniums but I have found them to be quite forgiving. They are one of the few plants that seem to survive winters in my unheated but attached garage.By what you said you already have coming along..it sounds as though you are off to a great start for this season!! Happy gardening. Ross.

Hi,

If you cut them back, they will regrow and hopefully start to bush out more. I've just made the jump to cut back my pepper plants and now I'm seeing new shoots on both sides. I believe you have time. Do make sure when you cut them back there are no flowering buds anywhere left on the plant. You want the energy in the plant, not the flower production at this time.

I've got veggie and flower seedlings all over that are starting to look like plants. From my experience, if you cut these back now to bush they may be a little smaller at planting out but in the long run your plants should grow bushier, bulk out more. Once outside I find they catch up pretty fast.

Thanks so much. It is good to hear from you both again. Much appreciated.
