ridgetop01: Hello. As a fellow NYer, I will try to give you some advice based on my experience with my Brugs. Do you know how old your plant is? First thing's first, if your day & night time temps are above 50* (or you have some place to store it where it will be warm), I'd definitely get yours out of that pot & take a look at its roots. While overwintering mine, I started noticing a similar situation. I finally got around to repotting mine yesterday & to my horror discovered the poor thing's roots were root bound & the soil inside the pot had completely collapsed into a brick so its roots weren't getting enough oxygen. The soil was so badly compacted I had to break the pot open with a hammer & use a spade to cut some of the root mass away from the sides of the pot, which root pruned the Brug as well. Surprisingly enough the roots were still white & thick so I guess I got to it just in time but I'll know better in a few wks. My advice to you right now is to take it out of the pot, check the roots. If they're white or a light tan color & just root bound, do a little root pruning around the sides & put it in a little bigger pot with ether a good quality soil less potting mix or you can make your own following any of the recipes online many folks have developed (I'm using Al's 5-1-1 for mine this yr). DO NOT use any mix that's peat based because it holds too much moisture & in the Northeast here it will contribute to root rot over the winter. Hope this helps :).
