I am very negligent about feeding my plants......and it is so contrary to all my gardening knowledge to let it all slide.....
After all the Spring "euphoria"--life just seems to become so much Ho-Hum....

I am very aware that Brugs are "pigs"----anything you throw at them--they gobble up....I really don't do much regular feeding.....Now and then--I would mix something im my watering can and go pour it on the Brugs.....I don't really pay attention to any "rules"....

I had had this "Maya" for about 4 years,,,,The year before last (2008)--I root-pruned it, re-potted it, and mixed some "Dynamite" slow-release plant food granules (feeds for 9 months) in the potting soil I used to pot it in.

WELL! I have NEVER seen bigger leaves on a Brug--AND--less flowers than that year!!!! Too much "Dynamite" I imagine--and hardly any flowers! REALLY! Almost none to speak of!
THEN--It made up for it the following year--(2009)....

Here is a picture of how HUGE all the leaves grew in 2008. Unbelievable--I tell you!
I am sure it was due to the granules I mixed into the soil . Maybe too much "N"....It looked "insane"!!!!
