Hello All.
It's 31F outside now and we have a foot of new snow on the ground. My large Brugs are little more than sticks with a few green leaves in my basement, slumbering away. I went down there earlier today to give them all their weekly cup of water and was startled to find Sunray blooming! No fertilizer since last October, virtually no light all winter...amazing.
Happy Easter!
Erick
Erick,
what a wonderful Easter gift. And the pale yellow goes along very well.
Hi Erick
Nice suprise for you.
I have got 'Phanomenal' bloomimg at the moment.
My first bloom of 2008 and being a Newbie each bloom is so exciting.

How often should I fertilize mine? How long did it take for yours to bloom ErickMN?
That's one beautiful Easter surprise, she should be in a parade.
How cool! Can't wait to get my first ever blooms!!!
Thank you all for the kind comments.
weedsfree, I don't fertilize my Brugs during the winter, as I really don't want them to grow - just stay alive! However, during the growing season outdoors in the summer, I fertillize them heavily, as much as 2-3 per week. I've had both seed-started and cutting-started Brugs bloom during the first season for me, but (in my experience anyway) they tend to flower much more heavily, and earlier in the season, the second year.

Well thanks a bunch for the info. Do you fertilize with .....what ratio? 10-10-10? What organic fertilzer do you recommend if you use that?
