Life is "mind over matter". If I d
Glenn--

You can overwinter brugs in a cool, dark basement as well. No watering needed (well--a smidge towards spring).
I always keep my Brugs this way throughout the winter. In my cool (58*) Shop--mostly dark.
They will keep some tip leaves on them- the rest will fall off. Not to worry!
Bring them out in early summer, water well, but keep them in shade for a week or two. Then move to
a brighter spot--and, finally, in full sun.
You can also do a root-pruning at this time and re-pot in the bigger pot. I add some Osmacote
to the fresh soil I am potting them in. They thrive on this...

Also--as your brug grows--it will not bloom until it "Y"'s. That means--the stem(s) splits in a "Y".
Once it "Y"'s--all subsequent growth on that stem will "Y".
Right after that--you should see bloom buds....and you are on your way.

Good luck! Gita

See the "Y"'s on the stems?
