    I thought I'd give begonia a go this year. I bought a bigger one ( one to a packet) and smaller ones ( 3 to a packet) .I can find the labels if necessary but I think my question is a general one.
    Anywayyyy, I potted them about a month ago. They have all sprouted - a bit but they've done bggggr all since. Are they waiting for temperature, light, growing roots or have I done something wrong?

    Probably just slow depending on the temperature you have them at.

    Thanks @pete . I'll be patient. They're in an unheated south facing porch. They can sit there and sulk until the weather warms up

      If they have grown shoots I'm sure they will pick up as the season progresses.

      Probably too cold, I wouldn't put them outside until mid May at the earliest.
