cute. But how long can you keep a BRUG that loves growing so fast, that small?

Are you trying to grow one? Are you into bonsai's? I bought one last year and killed my spirit :-( No more bonsai's for me.

I had a Japanese Maple bonsai given to me for Christmas last year. Sadly it was dead by June. :-(

Here's my little bonsia brug. They take weekly maintenance or it's all over. I kept it in the basement where it had to stretch straight sideways to get to the light. Lost the shape when I had to be away from it for a month in the the summer.

That's not a bonsai brug, It's a rooted cutting from above the Y. You can't bonsai brugs, they aren't made to do that & the leaves will just get big. While the flowers & leaves might be slightly smaller, they will never be tiny & look a mini brug. A good case of mites might keep the leaves tiny (at least until the plant dies). LOL

it fun to try to make your own bonsai,im working on a lemon bonsai now.i just thought you brugmaniacs ,might find this of intrest.

I agree with Linda. It's just an above the Y cutting that's blooming while short. I've had several that have bloomed while less then a foot tall. The plant itself doesn't look miniaturized, nor do the blooms or foliage.
