Tropicals & Tender Perennials: Help! My Brugs look sick, 1 by lagata2

I lost more cuttings this last 3 weeks than I did all winter. Just a small percentage, but of course they were special!! Some were started months ago, some new. The same thing has happened before about now. I cried about this elsewhere, and found it seems to be super common for this time of year. Changing seasons? Light fluctuations? Humidity changes? Bacteria or virus coming alive with spring? Internal clocks gone mad?? Maybe combinations. It's little comfort to know you aren't alone. A European Friend referred to February as "the dieing time" for brug cuttings. Here it seems to be march :( Such a lovely batch of Rothkirch cuttings too!
Raid flying insect spray in the blue can as a very light mist has been an effective control for aphids, mites, and gnats (but not the larva) here. A water meter is really cheap too, if you wonder that you might be over or under-watering. Good luck!

Speaking of Rothkirch ;)
We need pretty pictures now, to remind us why we go through all of this, yes?
