Scented Geranium (palargonium) problem

[northepaul]

I have a number of different palargniums which the most gorgeous scents, they are by far my favourite plants (other than the obvious fruite and veg). However I noticed when I got them out of the porch after the winter, that a lot of them had browned lower leaves, thinking it was from being inside all winter, I added new compost and fed them with epsom salts (which they love). This caused some vigerous new growth but still the lower leaves are browning and falling off, meaning the plants are tall and spindly, rather than bushy. I am at a loss to know what it may be? Any ideas?
Thank you

I am no expert but I do grow Geraniums and if they get too leggy or leaves brown I hack them back repot and give a feed . Hope this helps..

Cut them back so they bush out a bit. Take cuttings from the prunings and root them for new plants.

Also with the cuttings use a sharp knife and below a leaf node trim your cuttings dip in rooting powder pop at the side of a pot and hey presto more plants...

They are tender so won't like being too cold. They do tend to get spindly if they're searching for the light too, so keep pinching them out.
If you plants just look awful, they're easy to take cuttings from so you can start again
