    Well all the seedlings are growing at a good rate now , got most of them pricked out , and moving them out to the GH as things warm up . A question - The Begonia million kisses plugs I bought have started to flower after two weeks . Now is it best to remove the flowers at this stage , so all the energy goes into growing the plant ? Or does it not make much difference?

    TIA

    Best to remove the flowers as you say Harry, let the plant put it's energy into it's roots etc.
