I was given a good-quality potted plant (9" dia ) last year. In no position to take cuttings I cut it down and now there are a lot of new shoots. How many should be allowed to grow?

RHS advice: Many pelargoniums are naturally bushy. But pinch back the tips of shoots, including those of young trailing ivy-leaved cultivars, in spring or early summer to encourage further branching. Train tall, strong-growing cultivars on canes to form a pillar. Deadhead plants regularly to promote flowering....

Let it grow - you can always prune it if it gets too big.
