Lorrie hi there.

first you need to get them used to the outdoors. I always leave mine in the shade for like 2 weeks. don't get scared if they loose some leaves anyways. Normal.

The only pinching I do on a Brug is up the stem if I want to grow a tree shape. But this is only my second year so I am sure there is more good info coming.

Have you been fertilizing them ? How big are they?

ok that is all from me.

good luck

The seedlings are about 4" tall right now and have strong stems and leaves. Some of the first leaves have fallen off. I repotted them into potting soil with fertilizer in it, so I haven't added any extra fertilizer.
I have them in a garden window and turn them daily.

I have the parent plant in the house right now, but hope to put it outside by the end of the week. It should be warm enough at night for it then. I'll probably put the little ones out then too,

I would do what Lucy said and put them in the shade first so they can get used to the outdoor sun. And I also would not pinch them.

I wouldn't use full strength fertilizer yet. Use a water soluable type and dilute it for the next month. What size pot are they in? Transplant when the roots are coming from the drainage holes. By the end of the summer you'll probably be up to 5 gal pots. Do what Lucy said and slowly acclimate them to sun.
