Leggy geranium starts

Question

I have started some geranium starts in potting soil and the leaves are very spindly. Do I cut them off and leave the center shoots? In trial, I have also rooted some in water and the leaves seem more compact and greener and will soon have to be transplanted. Grrr, I need a larger kitchen shelf. Thank you for any info you can share with me.
