Hi Lisa,
I've added your name to the list. Welcome to the Brug Forum. If you have any questions, start a new thread in the forum for them. You will get a larger number of people looking at them than in this thread.

Hi Veronica:
I'm confused...You replied:

Are you saying if I have questions concerning plants other than brugs? Please clarify I'm a little slow. Thanks!
No, some members start by asking their Brug questions in this thread rather than starting a new thread in the Brug Forum. I was suggesting starting a thread where the question specifically addresses your Brug needs. This thread is not seen by as many people unless they want to connect a moniker with a name. I hope this is a better explanation. :-)
Vicki, here.
Happy Holidays!!!!!

Hi Tish, I've added your name to the list. I hope your Brugs are growing well.
Hi-
I am new to Dave's Garden and to Brugmansia propagtion but not to Brug love; could you please add me name to list? Also, I have question bout my 2-3 week old brug cuttings that I m starting in dirt rather than water:
While the rest of my cuttings look great (coleous, red sisters, even impatiens- despite the heat), my Brugmansia cuttings are brown and shriveled on the top of the cutting. Several have lost all their leaves, but still have some green on the stem. The cuttings are from a beautiful opens white then turns yellow then pink brug that grew to 10 feet its first year and blooms every 1.5 weeks or so; I keep them in dappled light/shade on the front porch. Any advice? Are the ones without leaves also without hope?
Thanks for you help, Renee
Renee,
Welcome to the Brug Forum. I will gladly try to answer your question. You might also want to start a thread with the same question if you want more than one answer. This thread is just for adding user names and is not seen as frequently as the other threads.
First of all I have a question for you. When you said dirt, did you really mean dirt or were you speaking about potting mix? Even with the humidity Houston normally has, this heat will suck the moisture from the cuttings faster than they can absorb through the small cut at their base. This leads to shriveling and then browning. There is a chance these you currently have may stop dying back and survive long enough to root. Since you have the mother plant, you may want to take more cuttings as insurance. When you take the cuttings, cut off all but the small leaves at the top. If you have a fungicide, spray the cut surface to keep fungi from entering through the cut. To help slow down loss of moisture, cover the cutting with anything clear. Empty 2 liter soda bottles make great mini-greenhouses for cuttings. Keep the soil slightly moist but not soaking wet until you get good strong growth. Unless the cuttings are large or are very thick, start the cuttings in small 4" pots or smaller. The cuttings are less likely to rot.
Brugs grow and bloom best if they receive direct morning sunlight. The only exceptions are some of the variegated Brugs whose leaves show a lot of white. Those may burn in direct sunlight. Although Brugs are said to bloom in flushes with a rest period in-between the flushes, the flushes in some Brugs last a number of weeks and they tend to produce a few isolated blooms so the flushes appear to be closer.

Hi - HHSmyth -- Heather
I love brugs - would have more but space doesn't allow.
Hi Heather, Welcome to the Brug Forum. I've added your name to the list. It's amazing how many Brugs you can crowd into a place.
I bought my first Brug yesterday.. So I'm sure I will be here often.

Hi Tracey! Welcome to the Brug Forum. I've added your name to the user name list.
Thank you Veronica! I apologize for both my late reply (work as ER doc & have a 2year old son) and for posting my original question in such an odd spot. I just discovered Dave's Garden a few months ago and am just "learning my way around the neighborhood" so to speak. Thank you for all of your tips- I applied the ones I could and will use them all next time!

P.S. About half of my brug cuttings made their own leaves and look great...Very Exciting indeed. I think I owe you one of them!
Hi Betty...could you add me to the list? I am starting out in the wonderful world of brugs and am so excited. I am sure I'll be here quite a bit.
Thanks!

I am a new Brug lover. Have gotten starts from several DG friends and can't wait until next summer. My yard will be a Brug haven. :-)

Patti,
Welcome to the Forum!
I'm in the same boat as Crit, new Brug lover. I saw it in a magazine a year ago and then in person this year at a local nursery. I got the opportunity to snag some cuttings in the trading forums and now I have 4 cuttings. My mom grows them too and gave me some advice on them.
I think they are addictive though because I've made a wish list in my garden book.
Tikipod - Ang
Ang, Welcome to the Brug Forum! Yes, they are addicitive and you have come to the right place to be enabled in that addiction. :-)
My apologies, I thought that I had added it.....must have been elsewhere...
