They may be suffering from heat if left in propagator of left in a to hot a house. They may also be set back if they are somewhere to cold. Begonias like semi shade or atleast out of direct sunlight esp. when they are seedlings. We grow loads where i work and we always have to keep them out of direct sun and not over watered. Fussy things!

Um, Begonia, or Bergenia, Viv?

thanks nicky-they are in direct sunlight so will move them
yeh bergonias i`m sure

Bergonia, the imaginary, online country? That's what I got when I googled it, anyway!

hi tugbrethil sorry about the confusion, should be spelt begonia no r - my spellings gone to pot!!

That's why I daily give thanks for the word processor: even though I have to write things three times over, I'm not wearing holes in the paper with a little white eraser pencil, anymore! Or is that "erasor"? Nah!

As for the begonias, yes, bright indirect light, as in an open north exposure, but no direct sun until they have at least 6 true leaves. Don't forget to feed them regularly, too. Begonias are nibblers--they need constant low levels of nutrients, but it's easy to burn them with too much fertilizer. By the way, I'm sort of assuming wax begonias or angelwings. I'm not real familiar with the tuberous or rhizomatous kinds.

thanks for that T, must try and find spell checker !
