Begonia Mystery

in Plants
Hello all 👋
my father bought me begonia plug plants, little ones. They were translated into the small cardboard
pots and kept warm in utility room. They were planted out a month ago, since then, zero, zilch……they haven’t grown one iota, but nor have they died 🤷🏻♀️….totally gutted as I planted twenty four of the little buggers….. any idea what’s going on with them ???? In the words of toyah Wilcox ….ITS A MYSTERY, ITS A MYSTERY 🤣

Now they have been planted out their roots have no bounds, so they are probably concentrating on growing a strong root system. Once they've done that, they'll concentrate on growth above ground.
They may also have been set back a little if they were being cossetted indoors, then planted out without being hardened off for 10 days or so before being planted out.

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
Always best to pot on plugs a few times before they brave the outside world.
So tight that the roots cannot grow through it.
