    You’ve not been over watering them have you Woo?
    Mind you I have that happening here too sometimes.....I grow a lot of pelargoniums in the conservatory. Just pinch the affected leaves off :)
    Incidentally, I find growing pelargoniums in John innes better than using mpc. I add perlite to the mix too:)

      I think that tends to happen on the older leaves, not something I'd worry about.:smile:
