Young Hibiscus coccineus - very slow

ornata

Hi. I have one H. coccineus that was started from seed late last summer and two more seedlings that germinated this spring. They are potted up and in my greenhouse. Their growth is incredibly slow. The plant started last year defoliated over winter and has put out multiple growth from the base, but the leaves are tiny. The two started this year have only four leaves each. Do these plants just need more heat to get them growing strongly? (It's been a long, and by our standards cold, winter and spring hasn't been much better so far, but temperatures are set to improve.) Thanks.

    What size pot are they in? Perhapsa they be moed into larger ones?

    And yes, they need a bit of heat to get going well.
