Hi,

Over the weekend I received several nice cuttings from Janice (frogsrus) and this is my very first attempt at rooting a new brug from a standard. I followed the advice given by Kell's wonderful thread; http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/554205/. Here is a photo of my experiment. I don't have a shadier spot to put these in, but this will be shaded by about noon or so, and it's not really hot in this area at this time of year - I hope that works out ok. As you can see, I also had to make a dog-proof corral to keep Lola out of the pots since Brugs are poisonous. The tall one is Butterfly and the smaller three are Monster.

Wish me luck! :)

PS: Thanks again Janice! Oh, and I did mix in the bark like you suggested...
