Geranium Leaf Question?

On my Geraniums, if some of the leaves are rotting for whatever reason... Its just one leaf... Can i cut the leaf off to make sure the rotting does not spread? How can i handle this?

Geranium Leaf Question?
Just cut or break the leaf off, cutting down into the green a bit. Is it just a brown leaf, of is the stem going brown and pulpy ? Cut well below the pulpy bit, but just pluck the occasional brown leaf


Or, you can cut the whole branch off, break the dead leaf off and root the branch in a pot to make more plants.





I whack my geraniums back when they start getting too big, and have filled a 12 foot flower bed with "starts" from just the one plant. Just pick off the occasional brown leaves, and the plants will just keep going.





I hope this helps.
Reply:SURE YOU CAN, IT WONT HURT THE REST OF THE PLANT
Reply:you need to cut the rest of them off so the rolling leaf will straighten out. new ones will grow on straight then.
