Hi guys, me again!

As some of you may know a couple of weeks ago iI bought a load of plug plants from ebay. These came nice and healthy

I transplanted them to pots and have had them in my mini greenhouse leaving them out during the day in order to harden of. All my petunias and geraniums are doing fine but the begonias seem to be witlting.

    Too wet is most likely, only needs to be damp compost. Always found these grow very well with the minimal amount of water.

    Balls! I have only watered once since repotting a week ago. The soil still seems very moist though. That must be it unless there is another another brainwave from someone else.
