okay i have a Brug that was given to me last year by a dear friend who recently died. my question is what type of fertilizer do i need to give it to bloom. right now they are green and bushy so to speck but dont know too much more about them. how can i get cuttings to root or is this possible. Do they seeds? also any help would greatly be welcomed.
oh and also lol is there a cheap place in the usa i can order from since i am a beginner and if they die gosh forbid i wont be out to much money. thanks Imzadi
hi question
here's a great source (check page 4 for cuttings if you want to go that way) He's a member here and one of the nicest people you would ever want to meet. http://countrygdn.com/
He also has a basic care page too. I feed mine Miracle Grow 3 times a week.
Here's a page on easy ways to root cuttings: http://www.brugmansias.org/startcut.html
Welcome to DG!!!
And if he doesn't have what you want, you should look at this store, http://calastropicals.scifstore.com/module/store/
Cala is also a great member here! I am sure you will get great brugs from either person!
imzadi, They do produce seeds but you need two different types in order for them to be pollinated and make seed pods. You can pollinate them yourself or the moths might do it for you.
There should be lots of cuttings here in the fall. Right now most everybodies Brugs are starting to bloom.
Feed them Miracle Grow or Peter's twice a week and they should start to grow and Y.They need to form a Y off of the branches before they will bloom. Hope this helps.
Thanks for that Country Garden website Tig! I've never seen that one before!
Thanks for sending folks my way Tig but I'm afraid my website has a lot of holes in it right now.I am busy rooting more so I will have a good selection in the fall.
Imzadi,email me.Will also be adding more varieties soon.
Thanks for the links!! I was just thinking about posting to ask for good brug sources, and there it was!! Now to decide which ones I adore the most, that's going to be difficult, I want them all! hmmm.... now I'm having visions of my whole back yard transformed into a brug forest! Somebody stop meeeee!!! too late, I'm hooked :)
Don't stop Carena, I'm working on that too. The beauty and fragrance are so worth it.
