I scanned every single post. And I draw the conclusion from Kell, Gloria and other experienced brugs growers which is: Light is a big factor in rooting our brugs during the winter. Robyn, 1/3 of my Fall rooted brugs met their demise sitting in my make-shift gh, others bigger, taller brugs (where they reached the lights provided are doing better, and even bloom this time of year in gh), those short cuttings that didn't get enough light, one day they were seemingly fine, the next few days, they look 'puny' then shrivel up. Those I received late during the winter, that are being rooted in water. Most of the green tips cuttings died, hardwood cutting rooted, still another 10% demise. So I go for the majority votes to harvest our cutting during the growing season which has a better chance of survival? (before they went into dormancy).
