Ladies, simmer down now. Jackie, I'm sure you will move her up to a big pot come summer - plenty of time before then.

I have most of my cuttings in 6 oz. plastic cups and some new begonias in 4 or 5 inch clay pots. One thing I've noticed is the clay pots sure get a lot of "fuzz" for lack of a better name when they are allowed to stay damp. I wonder if this is some form of mildew?

I have potted down several of my big pots this year (first time) to give me a bit more room to manage everything plus see if they grow faster come spring. This past year several of the big pots took a long time to fill out and some didn't even do that.

Here is my helper (or hinderance) in one of the rooms I've been trying to clean up for weeks.
