Back with another elephant ear question....

How the heck long do they take to start growing?? I potted five up when I started my first batch of peppers and tomatoes and there they sit, looking the same as when I potted them. I have them on a light box for extra warmth and I was hoping it would kick start them.

They are oh so S-L-O-W . I almost always think they aren't coming when they finally poke their heads about the soil! How long exactly? I don' recall.

I guess I'll just have to be more patient then. Thanks Carol Dee

HaHaHa! Someone as impatient as I am! Mine are sitting there looking just the same, too! The first time I grew them I can remember digging down in the pot in search of roots... they were there.

Check out your plants, thistle... I have a leaf coming up! Patience pays off!

Been a month+ and nothing for mine...

 

[lesa]

Hang in there! You will be pleasantly surprised soon!

 

[thistlebloom]

Yeah, I checked mine this a.m. and I have a leaf coming up on one of the green ones, but nothing on the 3 Black Magics yet....

Yay!
