I'm afraid my little pawpaw seedlings aren't too happy. I have half-neglected them, so I can't say I'm too surprised.
I have kept them watered and fertilized occasionally with DynaGro Grow. They are in a Pro-Mix type of medium, in soda bottles that are about 8-10 inches tall.
They germinated about a year ago. They grew great last summer in very shady conditions. I kept them indoors after they went dormant last winter, and they started leafing out a couple months ago.
Since then I have had them outside under a black cotton twill "tent" which I am realizing is extremely dark/shady.
The leaves are rather pale and some of them are curling (see pictures).
I'm thinking they need more light (but not full sun, they are just a year old as explained above). Does that sound right
? they haven't grown hardly at all in the last 6 weeks. Also, thought it was odd that they emerged from buds on the side, not the tip...
