The geranium cutting you saw
last year has produced lots of new short growth (red) over the winter. This is good, since it will lead to a more compact plant. Pity about the autumn long growth (pink) stuck in the middle. Never mind. Splitting this plant into 3 sections (green) will help remove the unwanted growth.
This will leave a compact plant with 3 stems (right). Because this plant now has a basic structure, it can be watered and fed to build it up. It can also be re-potted, soon.
As a bonus, we also have 2 more short-jointed geranium cuttings. I put these into 3 inch square pots of soil to root (square pots cuts down on space). Soil will keep the growth short-jointed whilst we build up the structure of the new plants. I will also keep them on the dry side and will not feed.
