Elaine and Gordon - I have started mixing Epsom salt in with the rest of the ingredients in my fertilizer mix per Elaine's suggestion. I am not seeing nearly as many leaves yellowing and dropping off my brug trees like I was ... even in this heat. Now it is mainly just a few older leaves yellowing and dropping. I still have some of my brugs in the sun for many hours of the day and they are responding well, too. Not wilting like they were. Apparently, they weren't getting enough magnesium in the fertilizer I was feeding them, so adding Epsom Salt did the trick! Thanks, Elaine!!!!
Gordon - Your Maya is beautiful! I tend to prune the bottom branches, remove some of the longer branch tips along with the bottom leaves from all my brugs so they all look like well-pruned trees instead of large bushes. By doing that, I don't get quite the huge bloom flushes that you do. Though I still get plenty of flowers, just nothing like yours! It is amazing how many flowers a single brug can produce during those flushes!
Your cats are so cute! How many do you have? 3? Looks like they follow you everywhere! Do you ever worry about them falling off the rooftop since they climb so high like that? You know that old saying ... "Curiosity killed the cat". They are part bengal cat, correct? Beautiful felines!!! Being kittens, they probably get into everything! LOL!
Also, I see your wind chimes .... that is something I have been wanting to add to my yard, but haven't because there seems to be a science to buying a good wind chime. Any suggestions? Where did you get yours? There is nothing decent sold around here locally, so I would probably have to order one online. I can't spend a small fortune either, it's got to be an affordable price. (sigh)
