How slow is "too slow"? My plant is nearly two weeks out of the ground. After starting out well it is only about the size of a regular coffee mug.The second true leaf is about the size of a dime and has been barely moving over 3 or 4 days. I think it has been too cold on average.Unfortunately it will be cool and cloudy for a least a few more days. I would like to keep this plant if there is a reason to considering this growth pace?
Thanks,
Russell

It's what is happening beneath the ground that matters..Keep the soil moist, and give it a little time.

I'll pay double attention to the soil moisture, I think I was O.K on that. It was suggested in an email to give it a a little drench of fertilizer and mist frequently with weak miracle grow solution. It did much better today.
Thanks again.

Good luck w/your slow plant,Pirate.
