Joan, ah! I don't think you gave bad advice. I think that was good advice. I remove the leaves from my brugs all the time, especially when they have whiteflies and mites. It is much easier to treat the smaller leaves and branches with a miticide when the bigger leaves are gone. I also remove the big leaves from my brugs all the time even when they don't have an infestation of some sort because water is lost through the leaves so you can slow the water loss down by removing the bigger leaves. I also remove leaves so that they don't hide the blooms. In my opinion, brugs have way too many leaves so I like to remove a lot of them if I can. They grow back fast enough.
