I was checking on my plants and the medium they are in and wondering also why they were not growing at all or very slowly I pushed down on the soil and it really yielded to the pressure of my hand so I pushed my finger down into it around where the roots of my plants were and my finger went into a hole under the plants roots. Apparently when I potted my plants I didn't pack the mix around the roots so they were just hanging in basically empty space in the pot or just very loosely supported. I think this may have been the problem but I will see in a week or so. This picture is of my Love Bug, I have had it in this pot for three months but never checked the mixture until today, it sank about four inches in the pot, after and before, gotta learn how to upload pics. If you are having trouble with your plants check them to see if the soil is packed well enough in the pot. I had to do this to 25 pots and I have not checked my VFT's!
