I'm a long-time fan of brugs, but new to propagation.

When we cut back our in-ground beauty before the first hard frost here in DC, I took a few cuttings to try --all "Y"s, some big from low on the plant, other smaller ones from higher points.

By all appearances, they had all dried out and were completely lifeless after spending a few weeks poked into a light, slightly moist soil mix inside the house, exposed to a bright window no direct sun. I accommodated DW by gathering them all up to throw away, but decided to keep one, just in case.

Well, I wish I had kept them all after seeing this one after three more weeks of total neglect (maybe an occasional accidental watering).

Any advice on what to do from this point forward? Any thought on whether/when this new plant will bloom?
