My Brugs are not doing too well. I purchased these 2 from eBay as 36" rooted cuttings. They came with one of them being stripped of everything and the other with just about 4 leaves at the top. As you can see, they have put on some new growth. But not much. Everywhere I've read, it says these are quick growers. On what planet? I canNOT seem to get mine to grow!!!! ARGH!! I want some gorgeous flowers on some full and lush trees, but these haven't done much of any growing. In fact, the leaves haven't EVER gotten that emerald green healthy brug leaf color at all, they stay a yellowy green and then eventually drop off after wilting and turning a very bright yellow.

The seller said I should get flowers this season, but the season's about over and nada!

I'm watering these at least once a week, sometimes more if you count our recent downpours. Not doing much fertilizing now because they were dropping leafs like flies when I was. PLEASE HELP! I'm desperate for some gorgeous plants!

These were listed as being yellow then orange flowers, so I'm guessing CG? Can anyone help before I accidentally kill these?
