I have about 10 sticks that have rooted, the roots are about 1/4 to 1/2 inch long. When do I put them in soil?
How deep? What kind of soil? I have Miracle Grow premium potting soil, is that OK? Or should I buy a different soil?
I have Osmacote, add that too?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! These things sure sprouted fast!
Thank-x for the addiction, Ya-all!

When to plant my "Sticks"?
I rarely root mine in water. I put them directly in dirt. I would go ahead and plant in soil now, just keep them in shade and do not overwater. You can mist the leaves. Does Miracle Grow soil have fertilizer in it already? I usually wait to add any, for the roots to grow out for I figure the fertilizer is being wasted even if time released.
I plant them deep for I figure a good rooting system will develop.
Everyone has their special own mix of soil. I like my soil very heavy so I do not have to water so much. Of course I can never remember from one batch to the next what I have added in it. Brugs are fairly easy plants to grow so you can start with what you have and as you grow these, you will develop your own likes and dislikes.
GOOD LUCK!
Thank-x Kell, I have been anxiously waiting a reply, I'm going into town tomorrow (hour away) & thought if I had to find some special soil I would look for it. This soil does not have the fert. in it. It is sort of heavy, I will try to not over water them. One of the sticks didn't look to well when I rec. them. Just for the heck of it I stuck it in a damp bank behind my green hut (to small to be called a green house) it looks like it is sprouting!!! This will be interesting. Thank-x again. Bj
