Here are 2 shoots of my brugs. I have them in the Arizona room were they are protected a little from the cold. They do seem to drop some leaves but still, to me look great.

They look great! So many leaves...what's your secret?? I'm hoping my bounce back from the freeze we had the other night.
They do look great!
I wish mine looked that good, Congratulations.
My secret, I have threatened to kill them if they don't start to flower this year. I feed them all the time and use Epsom salts. I haven't feed them for a very long time now that it is too cold. I also water rairly so they don't rot. It doesn't get below 40 at night were they are. I looked good at them today The leaves seem to be a little fragile and drop easy if touched.
I have no idea what I am doing right I just keep trying. I didn't want my plants to go dormant, I wanted them to get really big.

They look fantastic!
oh!! that's what i'm doing wrong...i'm going home tonight and threatening mine with their life! one of my garden resolutions this year is to get those darn things to grow and bloom...i'm determined. i'm sick of looking at everyone else's pictures...i want my own! LOL what do you feed them with? thanks for all the help...are you putting salt on them now?

I'm not feeding them at all right now and watering very little maybe once a month only. They stay over 40 degrees at night. They have never bloomed for me either. They better get on the stick this year, that's all I can say. I think I feed them osmycote. but I'm not sure...
some stuff I feed my plumeria and sprinkel on the soil.
I think I will be trying the tea this year.
