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.
Welcome to the forum btw
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.
