@luvsgrtdanes Ronnie, that advantage of your way is, you'll have bigger plants come spring, and you won't have to wait for them to take off. You can also take cuttings on your mother plants and have many more by spring! I think pelargoniums make lovely houseplants. They can handle the dry heat from the furnace, and if you go away for a week or two, they survive the neglect! I'm all for enjoying the blossoms year round.
