Thanks, Sally--You know a lot by mow too--on Brugs...

Keith--
Is your cutting leafing out yet?
I ask--because 14" is a bit long for a cutting..Remember--the new growth will be
mostly from the top of the cutting. I would cut the cutting back to about 2" -3"
above the soil level and let it grow from there. It will have a sturdier base.
Then--you can root the top you cut off and have another brug. What kind is yours?

The first time I bought a Maya brug--it was in a 4" pot and you could not
even see the cutting it grew from. It was below soil level...

Your Brug may well bloom next year--IF it produces a "Y". It should--at some point.

1--This should give you incentive :o)-- March, 2009
I no longer have this brug. It was a Rose Souvelons.

2--A very young Maya blooming already. Sept. 2009

Just remember--some Brugs bloom with gusto--some are not so "energetic"
