So I mentioned somewhere that I was keeping my Begonias alive but they weren't growing. I have two tiny strawberry begonias Buttoneer gave them to me last summer. They are in 2in pots inside ziplock bags. Originally I thought they were so small that I would make a terrarium for them to keep the moisture in and I wouldn't dry them out. So every so often I would look at them and they seemed to be just fine but they weren't growing. I kept them in the shade of some other plants so the little bag terrariums wouldn't over heat like a few other ones did. When the plants went upstairs right before the holidays these little guys went too. I sat them on a shelf last Dec and haven't looked at them since, so as I'm cleaning off this shelf getting ready for seed starting I find these bags and yes the little plants are still just fine but still not growing. So I was thinking maybe a little weak fertilizer more light? Maybe I should do a "real" terrarium little glass bowl with some moss? I have a good size terrarium upstairs but I would need to pick up more small plants to fill that. So maybe a small decorative glass bowl? What do you guys think????
