I'm very pleased with the results I'm having with Vicki's trial brug. On Nov. 11, 2006, it only had 5 tiny roots - some 1/4" and some 1/2". On Nov. 15, it had 6-8 roots that were 1"-1 1/2". I planted it in a mixture of Jiffy Potting Mix Plus, perlite and good compost. It has been in a room with day temp of 74 and night temp of 68 under a grow light for 10-12 hours a day. I will post two pictures taken today - one long shot and one from the top. Vicki requested that I keep her posted on the brug forum and/or in Dmail about the progress.
This is my first year with brugs and the first one to trial for anyone and I hope I do things correctly. I think it may be ready to have a larger pot soon. The pot it is in now is only 7" across the top and 7 1/2" tall. I didn't expect this much growth so soon. There may be blooms this spring, it seems.

If I need to change anything, I welcome suggestions from those who grow all the beautiful ones posted on this forum.
