Mornington peninsula , Victoria, AustraliaQ.Geraniums
The geranium leaves are going yellow and are being eaten by a bug. They are still flowering. It is autumn here in Australia. Should I prune them back? We do not get frosts in winter so they winter over outdoors. Some are in pots and some in the ground.

Peak District, DerbyshireQ.Geraniums
Last year I bought some lovely variegated geraniums (apple blossom I think). I took some cuttings and have overwintered them in a cool, well-lit conservatory. They have bushed up nicely, but for some reason, the edges of the lower leaves keep turning brown and eventually falling off. They are starting to look leggy, and any advice you can give would be much appreciated. Thank you, Sandra Howard.

April 5, 2017A.The article you mention, list Scented Geranium as non toxic to cats.
Scented Geranium are actually Pelergoniums and are not related to Geraniums.Geraniums are listed as toxic to cats, but not Pelergoniums/Scented Geraniums.

Can I plant the geranium in its original container into the bigger pot with the potting soil?

April 5, 2017A.You will need to slip the growers pot off of the plant, then place the root ball and soil in a slightly larger new pot. Choose a pot 1 or 2" larger then the growers pot.
Use a good quality potting soil.Here is a link to refresh you on the care requirements.

Certified ExpertA.You may be overwatering and over fertilizing your geraniums. This article may help:

Also, when you water geraniums it is always important to water them at the soil and roots, and not get the foliage and flowers wet.
