Default Busy Lizzies - couple of questions

Keep out of draught and direct sunlight for winter keep on dry side, and no
frost, you will know when they need water the leaves lose there shine and
start to droop only water when needed, as for flowering you may be rewarded
with flowers during winter, but in spring, trim back, place the trimmings in
glass of water as soon as roots show pot on, now that is the worst part as
they may succumb to rot when potted on. The trimming back will make plant
bushier

good luck

My wife has some Busy Lizzies which she has grown indoors from seed
and intends to keep indoors.

They seem to be growing very well, the tallest being about 10 inches
tall (she planted the seeds some months ago).

Should they not be flowering by now though? There's no sign of any
flower buds, the plants just keep growing!

Also, should they be watered often? It's just that we haven't watered
them for maybe a week or so now and they show no signs of *needing*
any water. I guess we're wary of over-watering them,

They don't get any direct sunlight, but they are in a well lit room.

Thanks for any advice.
