it is a rooted brug, keep it semi moist, not wet.. give it a little supper, I feed mine tomatoe food, lots of sunlight, the more you ignore it the more it will grow, you should see a green peek of some tips soon.. is the stem still firm? gently squeeze it to see.. if you can tug it gently and it won't give, the roots are still there... I have had completely shriveled sticks turn into this:

yea he feels firm still, I will feed him next time I water. Thats amazing! I will let you know as soon as I see green I just worry too much lol

that guy up there was my first brug, he was a whole three inches tall and I thought it was dead.. I cut down the back yard tree and low and behold there it was, I had forgotten about it..
here was frosty in dec of 08 see how tiny and dead he looked?

here is how he looked in that following summer

Debra, what do you have your brugs in, and what is around them? Looks very interesting! Maybe some moss?

Well, they are surrounded by hibiscus, iochromas, lantanas, and other stuff. That is what Frosty looked like last fall. They are all scatteed differently this year. Both forstys ( I cut him back and rooted his top) are on the North fence now, full sun, soon to be surrounded by purple ballerina daturas, tall sages and salvias, penstamons, creeping daisyes, and other stuff. The other brugs are on the south fence area with more shade, and their bottoms are covered with all kinds of stuff. I mostly wanted to show how a shriveled stick can go ahead and go full blast.
Who ever gave me yard sale yellow, it looked all dead, it has three leaves and roots and is in a nother bigger pot now outside to breathe.

Should my brug be outside? I am on the 3rd fl and patio is on the west side, sun burns pretty good come June but I could put him out till then.

Yes, they do much better outside! If you keep it watered, it will be OK! They may wilt a little in the afternoon, but they will perk back up when the sun goes down. Just keep it moist at all times, but not soaking in water. They don't like sitting in water.

ok I will put him outside, thank you.

Just make sure you keep an eye on the weather. If it looks like your going to have frost, bring it back in for the night.

ok will do. Thank you.

All my brugs are either in the ground with plastic mesh netting at their roots, or in large pots now. let the growing commence!

Yes, I have one I'm going to put out here in a bit. Still haven't figured out who sent the other one. Must have been a "Brug Angel" I love my new brug from the Brug Angel too. It has been in ground since I got it Wed.

awww sounds loverly.. post pics when ready!
some are wondering about their "sticks" with no leaves yet, here is one I am watching.

I got your baby out and watered. Spread all those seeds in one flowerbed what a bunch od flowers I'm going to have. Supposed to rain and we will watch them grow. I have brugs planted all along these flowerbeds and some you can't see. I'm ready, Debra. Let's get growing..

Cool!!! Love it.

I am waiting for it to start growing. thank you.

Is that an elephant I see in the middle of that picture? Love the garden area!

Yes , it is. Elephant, frogs, gnome, butterfly, turtles. Angels flamingoes, all kinds of things. It's a beautiful mess.

Oh I love love it! I just came in from checking on my new fishies, the top of the water was covered with elm tree seeds.. they must have been hungry, cuz they came up to me LOL so after I arranged ( again) the plants around it, cleaned off the floating tree seeds, I gave them some fish food flakes. I have no clue what I am doing, one is orange and one is tri-coloured, they are just goldfish LOL I am waiting for my lotus seeds to pop up. they have been kept warm and wet all winter, something has to happen. I upended a pot to see how one of my Y sticks was doing ( a cuba) from Faye, and it had roots and a new shoot . ( The top looked dead) I got a Cherub root from X in a trade, and it is buried under the outside edge of the old pear tree.. here it is..it is peeking!
