I ignored them for 3 days while working 14 hour days and they dropped most of their leaves..(sob). Whats a person to do..???
These sure are high maintenence plants..
Give them some water and the leaves will grow back. Brugs shed their leaves if allowed to dry out to the point of wilting. Can you plant them in the ground so they need less water?
sorry earthling. If you want to keep them in pots (are they?) you might can slip it out and put a diaper in the bottom of the pot and adjust the dirt slightly to refill the pot. if they were winter leaves, they were going to drop them anyway and grow spring leaves. They will recover.
They are still in pots till I figure out where to put them..and are already starting to grow more leaves...I was just shocked to find out it sure didnt take long for them to be uphappy and let me know about it.
I live in Iowa and usually water mine twice a day when it gets above 85 degrees. At around 95 degrees, they take three waterings each day to not wilt at all. I'm talking about the ones in pots. Those in the ground can sometimes go for days without being watered, but we have dirt and not sand. Good luck with your brugs. I'm sure they will do just fine for you wherever you decide to give them a permanent home.
Dig some holes in your garden and drop them in pot and all till you figure out where to put them
