    Heygeno,

    I fertilized heavy in the summer. But I feel I was fertilizing a little too much. I laid off the fert for about a month. When I started to see buds, I picked up on it a little.

    Just MiracleGro

    These are my Brugs now, and we had a Frost lastnight. Still blooming

    Heygeno,

    Thos cuttings are all from this September. Getting them a little root before they go into a basement window for the rest of the winter.

    OK...... so will you overwinter your blooming ones ? or let them die and start fresh next spring with your little cuttings ?
    I cant help myself..... I try to bring in all my ( nearly tree size brugs TOO !!)

    Heygeno,

    I will try to overwinter the large ones as well just to see how it will turn out. But I know I have the little abies as a back up. The larger ones we the same size as the little babies last October, so I at least now know I will have some nice plants next year.

    The only reason I did so many was that so many visitors were in awe at the beauty, so I told them I would grow them one. I can then teach them how to grow cuttings and they can pass some on.

    I would really like to get my hands on cuttings of different colors. I don't really feel like dropping money on-line but I might have to next spring. I would like a red or purple
