corkscrew vine not growing

17 years ago

I overwintered two vigna caracalla plants. They grew a little bit down there. 3 weeks ago I repotted them in the gritty mix. The couple of small new shoots turned brown and I pruned them off. Now the 8 inch plants haven't had any new growth. The small leaves are nice and green. But just sitting there. I feed them with FP. Any thoughts? thanks. filix.

Are they inside or outdoors?

On sunny days they are in my hoop house. It's about 80 in there. Then at night time they go in a heated potting shed. Which is about 55 at night. I did notice when i took them out of the sunny hoophouse today they looked a little wilted. They were in the gritty mix from the start. When I potted them up they had nice roots. The roots were growing in and out of they screen that was on the bottom of the small pot. I had to pull them off it. Hope I didn't hurt anything. Thanks Al. filix
