They fell into a sort of half dormancy when I put them outside because I sowed them too early in the year; not dropping leaves, but completely halting growth. They woke up about a month ago and exploded with new growth, the plant in the first pic grew a foot in one month. Its leaves are also switching from simple to palmately compound, showing its resemblance to the other members of its subfamily I have growing alongside it (Pachira, Pseudobombax, Ceiba).

When did you sew the seeds and what zone are you in? Mine germinated between 3-6 weeks ago and are still all under 6-7″ tall. I’m in zone 7a and they are getting good afternoon sun, but are under a canopy due to the patio above me.
