Karyn, what double/triple brugs are you looking for?

I have a Daydreams I can trade for your Culebra.

Linda

congrats that the rooting worked for you this time.

Not looking for a trade but just thought I let you know that LM is really doing well :-)

So as soon as I can take a good cutting, I will.

Lucy

Dancer what do you have? Linda I already have DD.

This has found a home. Thanks for the interest. I'll probably root a couple more since they seem to take well this time of year and will post when I do.

I am so happy when a bruggie finds a new home..:) Karyn I noticed my new one is so slow in growing....They must be part of the slow growing group? I did notice too..No problems at all with this brug... no bugs or nothing..:)

Lucy's lemon Meringue is such a beautiful brug. I really think its one of the best!

Mine is slow in height but the foliage is so thick that you can't see the stems. It does look kind of like pot from a distance. I have had mealy bugs on this one. The foliage is so thick that it's hard to see them and the slugs are eating everything but on the whole it seems like a pretty hardy variety.

My Culebra is also slow to gain height, but the foliage towards the top is really thick. I had some kind of spider mites on it over the winter that I had a hard time getting rid of, but once I did, it rebounded nicely. It does seem pretty hardy. Mine had two shoots, but I broke the taller one off with the hose a few weeks ago :(
I don't think it is going to root, I am about to throw it out. The other part is growing well though.

I was told that this is the best time of year to root them, and you should stick them in soil with perlite mixed in and rooting hormone, and keep it humid around the plant.

Another piece of advice....I have read that this one likes to have a little more drier, well draining mix, so add some perlite to your potting mix to help out with that. Also, I think KHT said it likes to be kept in a smaller pot.

Shawn

Mine's been in 3B since I got it and does well. That's what I use for almost everything. It doesn't seem to need nearly as much water as other brugs and rarely wilts.

Soooooo.....what did you get in the trade?

Also...did you lose any brugs when your GH heater broke? If you tell me what you lost, I may be able to start rooting cuttings to replace some.

Shawn

Pot in a distance hhahahha now you said that... It does appear that way....Did you ever grow the hibiscus that grows that way? I need to look it up...I think it is hibiscus hannibus If I remeber it right...I am sure I spelt it wrong.... my spelling sucks... rofl

Shawn actually nothing. I'm sending it to someone who has sent me lots of stuff in the past. I did lose a number of brugs but not as many as I thought. It's difficult to read the tags on most so I'll have to wait until I see the blooms and then I should be able to figure it out from the few letters I can read. Thanks for the offer. I just might take you up on it.

Barb I had a hibiscus (Tx Star maybe?) that looked just like dope. We were having a party and people were looking and whispering (it wasn't yet in bloom) so I put up a sign saying that "this is not a pot plant". lol

Karyn, Other things that look like it:

Cleome
Jatropha Multifida
False Aralia
Hibiscus cannabinus (Kenaf)
Japanese Maple

Grow them all & really confuse them. LOL

Linda

I think the False Aralia & Hibiscus cannabinus definitely do but the others just a little. I remember when I was in my teens and used to grow pot in the yard. I can't remember what I told my Mom it was but she was so niave. lol

Karyn, That happened to me too with my Mom. I was into growing all kinds of plants in the early 70s & she didn't have a clue what those tall plants were that never bloomed (in spite of me planting them every year) & were unknown seeds someone gave me. No one else ever mentioned them either & lots of relatives came to the yard for picnics. Makes you wonder what your own kids are getting away with behind your back. It's bad enough what mine do in front of me. LOL

Linda

Karyn roflmao. I would have let them guessing lol. But then the police patrol might have stopped by.

Linda MY CLEOME? That grows all over the place and in the front yard too? Pot? rofl. Well if it wear...the deer that came and ate the one in the front on the fenced in porch, sure would have had SOME TRIP! No wonder it came back last night. I am not sure if he broke down the fence coming IN or after he had my Cleome again? You are sure it is Cleome I am growing? roflmao

KARYN..........YOU DID? roflmao again. Well I would say that I would have never suspected MY kids to grow that. IF I would not have known what it looks like. But I DO lol

So I believe we moms just can not imagine our children would grow things in front of our noses, never the less lol
