How are you guys going to get your rootings outta the bubbler, mine get big roots on the bottom and they leaf out like 2pug's. I like short cuttings for the bubbler, I like them fat too, and of course lots of favs are always greenies. Attached is one of my inside setups, three different brugs, each in it's own clear bubbler, not time to start them in the GH, here, until probably (I hope) another month. Last year, I put all my cuttings together, in a big container or several big containers, but this year I will not, only cuttings from the same brug to each container. Worked just fine for me, and i had no diseased brugs, but I really like smaller container and clear containers anyway. I had bubbler trouble over the weekend, some bad bubbler stones, but they were new and crumbled. I also do not use bubbler stones twice or move them from bubbler to bubbler, they are cheap, 2 for a dollar, and there's no need to take a chance. The three cuttings are special, to me. From left to right, Tuffy, sent by Vee8, with her own hummer, thanks again Vee. The next two, Shredded White, with lots of roots, and Coral Glow, sent by pal Jeanette, thanks Jnette. Did you notice the long ORANGE tag on Coral Glow - I'm thinking Jeanette expects this cutting to be ORANGE!! I love the tag and do not intend to remove it and have decided it's a great way to tag brugs, I'm going to see if the writing fades. My grand made the bird below the hummer, butterflies and brugs would have some company. Oh, I put a drop of H202 and a drop os SuperThrive in the bubblers and this year will add to that weekly and possibly tweak further as the bubbler season sets in, lol, but true!! BTW, my digi has a date problem, of course it's not December yet...sorry about that...
