gardenersdetective, I've tried several different ways to root Brugs, but have the best success with rooting in water with a bit of H2O2. I've also added a tiny bit of rooting gel to the water. If I add too much, it kills the stem, but a very small amount seems to help.
I use about 2" of water and about 1/2 tsp of hydrogen peroxide and place the jar in my kitchen where the humidity is higer. I have two windows facing south east that provide strong, bright indirect light. I wait until the roots are about 1" long. Sometimes I place the cuttings in potting mix with about 1/3 perlite added when the cuttings have produced the white nubs from which the roots will emerge.
I check the cuttings to make sure they are still healthy. Otherwise, those that are beginning to rot may damage the others. If the cuttings are long enough, cutting back to healthy tissue can sometimes save those cuttings.
