Bottle brush plants

I sewed some bottle brush seeds 5 months ago and potted them on as they grew bigger   But they are still only 1 cm tall.  Alive but what am I doing wrong ?

    I think 1cm is far too small to prick out, maybe , if you’ve put them in too bigger pots they’ve just given up.  What size pots are they in now,  I would have left them until they were 2” high.

    oh oh I didn’t realise they would just give up.  Pots are prob too large   Gutted.  That has never happened to me before 😳😤🥲

    Perhaps if you re potted into 2” flower pots they may start to grow again then don’t pot on until the roots have filled that pot and are showing at the bottom.
