Hi All:
I am hoping for some basic advice to improve my success with Brugs,please !
I have a Sunset (variegated) Brug "patio tree" I bought through (don't yell at me please, I couldn't resist ) QVC *Blush* back in March, 2011. It has grown some but never flowered. It is in a pot because I am pretty sure it gets too cold here in Tucson to leave it out. It drops its leaves every winter (or most of them at least) but then comes back in the Spring. It seems to go thru cycles where it drops a lot of leaves and I would like it to live happier as it is so pretty, and hopefully flower ! So, what do Brugs like ? Filtered sun or direct ? Crowded roots or plenty of room? Rich soil or sandy? Regular feedings or rare/weak ? Does it want to be pruned a lot or left alone? Thanks in advance for advice, or pointing me to where on this wonderful site I can find it already captured. Lovey dubby
