How often should I water my brugs? They are putting on a lot of growth right now and many have buds on them. Temps here are in the 70's during the day and mid-50's at night. I hear these guys need a lot of water, but I don't want to overwater them. I mixed a fair amount of perlite and pumice into the high quality potting soil to ensure good drainage.

Regarding fertilizer, how often should I feed them. I want to encourage them to grow, but not overfeed them. They are all living in containers and get a fair amound of sun. Here's a pic of most of them. I'm using a really good nana fert that's 15-5-30 and also mix in one tablespoon of epsom salts in one gallon of water.
