I bought these and planted into large container with other plants a week ago.Everything ( geum,ivy leaved geraniums ) is doing well except the pelargoniums .

The leaves are yellowing and going crispy .

Could they be getting too much sun ,not enough water ,damaged roots ,blight ?

I don't have a smart phone ( or brain ) so used web cam on lap top .Hope pics are useable .

Are there some new leaves coming ? That is the sign that it will be ok.
Sometimes after a shock - repotting, location change etc the bigger leaves die off but the plant soon produces new ones.
They are generally pretty tough and come back. Like a big drink occasionally and to be fairly dry. Not little and often with the water.

How big is the plant? Might like a gentle prune if struggling, so can focus its energy...

Thank you Bumper ,I've taken off all the leaves that are affected .
I'll have a look for new young leaves next time I'm down there and think about a little light prune .

The plant is about 9 to 12 " high .
