turbodogg98, we here pot them up as soon as the white nubs appear. We know it's better to have them in dirt then in water, you want a stronger plant!

You can leave the cuttings in water all winter as long as the water is kept clean. Either change it regularly or use an air stone connected to a pump.

I had some stay in water on the kitchen window sill all winter. Just changed the water every day. I found that if I only leave enough water to cover the bottom they did better. If you have water too deep in the glass they can rot and some just do better in soil. I am going to do some in a bucket with a bubbler this year.

I pot them up right after I make the cuts, dip in rooting hormone and into really loose potting soil (lots of perlite) I water once and then not very often- better too dry than too wet.

You just have to experiment. Some brugs are real fussy and the above method does not work well, nothing really does for these brugs, but most brug cuttings will grow using the above method.

Good luck at finding what works best for you!

If you do use water, add a tablespoon or two of Hydrogen Peroxide to keep the water fresher. Bubblers are a must if you don't want to change the water everyday! (Small inexpensive aquarium pump, tubing and air stone, no more than two-three inches of water.)

lol - you guys are way too nice to that guy :P

I have boys that act worse, lol. Do you have any pics of your brug by the way. That would really assist people that might want to trade with you.

Ria that is the GREATNESS of the *oldtimers* (forgive me, no insult. Just can not come up with a better name) here.
AND of course everybody else who feels like this is family.
Something happens, good or bad. We work it out and stick together. And let bygones be bygones. Isn't that the saying?
OK handing everybody a and wish you a great day. Lots of wonderful things to see and do
