Cut out dead stems, cut down the new stems and wait for them to regrown in spring. Don't water or they'll rot in the cold.

I have cleaned the soil off mine and put them into a polystyrene box and covered them with compost, don't know how they will do but thought I would give it a try

Right
I have 4 pots and 15 cuttings, not convinced due to the lack of light
Do I need to water them?

Another thing I found, when I put then in our conservatory, was that thy tended to bring aphids with them. So I would give them a good check over. I once found the aphids had spread to sprouts on some chitting potatoes.

I've finally got rou d to digging up mine, half are in cold GH border, so e will be dry and some will be damp dependent on where the rain gets in. The other half are in boxes in co post in a frost free garage mainly in the dark. We'll see which works.

I don't get up to the loft much at the moment due to No.2 son being here.
Anyway was up there today and the geraniums look remarkable healthy!
Do I need to do anything or just leave them to it??

I would leave them be for a little longer.
