I got this unknown pink on June 23. It was shorter than I, and not very wide as you can see by the picture. Today, it is just huge!! And loaded with buds!! It is just amazing the growth this plant has had in only 2 months. It doesn't look like the same plant.
Here's a picture of her when I got her on June 23.
Here's a picture of her this morning.
Here's a picture that shows the buds more clearly, even though it's pretty dark.
Boy! Talk about loaded!!! Be sure to post a pic when it blooms!
Beautiful!!! And amazing!!! What did you do???

Are you feeding your brug steroids? LOL
Thanks so much!! I'm amazed at how well she's done. Maybe it's because I saved her from the nursery? No one wanted it.
Anyway, the only thing I've done is pot her in a 25" pot, and I don't think I'm going to go any bigger, otherwise, I won't be able to fit between the two houses! And, when it's miserably hot I water it twice a day and try to mist it in the evenings (been bad about that lately). Oh, and Peter's 20-20-20 twice a week via foliar spray. I just started that a few weeks ago and it really took off. Before that, I fertilized via its roots.
I have given it Messenger twice (works much better when you apply it in the morning), and it's due for another dose, but I don't think I'll mess with it this late in the season.
I will most definitely post pictures when she blooms. It will certainly be amazing when she does bloom!
Oh, and the cuttings I will have!! :)
