Jackie, you can get away with a lot more things in srping than in fall or winter. In spring I pot way up and I use a dense soil. But I am then very careful with my watering until the brug fills the pot. In fall, I would never pot up or use dense soil for my chances of it rotting is too high then.

If your cuttings are not rooted yet, I would root them first in a small, deep pot then pot up once well rooted for cuttings can rot easily!.

I always try to use a deep pot too if I have a choice. Brugs seem to put down a long tap root first. I find they grow so fast in spring, you will get top growth as the roots fill the pot.

See that root growing right down!
