I overwintered my geraniums and have tons of leaves on them,should I cut them back? Also can I start new plants with just the leaves?

Thank you all !!!

You CAN cut them back and root the stems...but the leaves will not root on their own.

I say leave em'! : ) Beautiful green foliage is just as nice to look upon as the flower itself....

You don't have to cut the leaves off. The poor thing is just trying to make food (photosynthesize). Theres nothing to lose in leaving them on, and nothing to gain in cutting them off, just let them be.

They are starting to bloom now as well,but I made cuttings off of them and they are growing in their new small pots.

Thank You all
