    Hi Nikkib it looks ok if the flowers have gone over you have to break the stem off where it joins the main stem don't cut it off then it will flower again, you could give it a liquid feed of high potash like a tomato feed once a week. The leaves that are yellow are just old leaves so you can do the same.keep watering

    Be careful not to over-water - let the soil dry out between waterings - pelargoniums (which is what you have, not geraniums) don't like soggy bottoms image
