Hello Everyone.
This is the first time that I have visited this forum and I have questions but will keep it simple. I was given 20 brug cuttings this past weekend and included are 6 different types (Charles Grimaldi, Jean Pasko, Frosty Pink, Candida Double White, B. Suaveolens and Insignis Gold). As shown in the pic below, they are sitting in a couple of inches of water in pails. The cuttings range from 2 ft to 4ft. The woman who gave them to me said to leave them in the water until May, pot 'em up and plant the whole pot in the ground after last frost. She also said to change the water once every week. Does this sound right to you? Is there anything I could be doing differently to optimize their outcomes? BTW, the roots on these things are purdy long and the same woman also wants me to take 30 more of her cuttings because she's "done" with brugs.

Thanks in advance,
Erynne
