My brug baby is turning yellow. The leaves seem to be falling off. What am I doing wrong? This is my fist brug and sure don't want to loose it.

How young is your baby brug? If it's not a real puppy you might want to try dosing it with Miracid or iron chelate - that would be for the yellowing. I would first check under the leaves for spider mites. Also, first, make sure it isn't sitting in water.
Ditto what Liz said. Has it gotten too dry or too cold?

Billy,
I see you are another Mississippian....Biloxi here....Welcome to the Brug Forum. MSJen and Roz are also Mississippi folks.
Hi again. The brug is only about a foot tall. I had to bring it inside during this past cold spell. But got it inside before it got cold. I have some of that stuff that greens plants up. What about putting some epson salt on it? would that help? If so how much to use.
Billy
OH hi everyone from MS.
Hi Billy,
Welcome to the best place in the world for gardeners except for, maybe, Nurseries. :-)

Billy,
There could be a million and one reasons for you Brug truning yellow from to much water to bugs. If you use epson salt check the side of the box for instructions on how to apply to plants. I just sprinkle it at the base of the plant but I'm sure if you use to much it may burn the plant.
Hello Billy,
Is the yellowing starting on the lower leaves or from the top leaves?
Here is a link to, where Cala explains every reason for Brugs getting yellow leaves and sometimes even fall off :-)

Billy,
Brugs do loose their leaves...they turn yellow and fall off.
How are the top leaves?
The top leaves are now green. Might just be the way a brug works. LOL.
