Comments (3)Sorry, Regina! I simply don't know nuthin about four o'clocks, so I ain't got nuthin intelligent to say! Of course, that usually doesn't stop me.....LOL....See MoreCan I root a cutting from a dormant Brugmansia?
Comments (0)I have a well-established brugmansia that I have over-wintered in my basement. All of its leaves have fallen off and it is alive but dormant. I want to start rooting a cutting for my neighbor. Do I need to wait until the dormant plant is back outdoors developing leaves, or can I take the cutting from the dormant plant and place in water to get it to root?...See MoreBrugmansia Advice
Comments (1)I have a golden Brugmansia, Charles Grimaldi. it is very fragrant, maybe a bit too strong for some people. It can grow very tall, but I did not dig it in the fall to bring inside. Still it has already reached 5 feet now. Does it look like the one you had?...See MoreFragile Brugmansia Leaves -- Why ? What Remedy ?
Comments (14)petrushka (7b) Some of mine are 15 years old or older BUT the bulk are far younger and you can get a good sized brug in just a season or two. The key is to gradually move them up in pot size during the season. I have no trouble taking a rooted cutting in the spring that is in a Solo cup and because of quick growth due to feeding and a good potting mix, be able to move it from a 1 gallon to a 2.5 gallon and then to a 4-5 gallon in just 3-4 months. 4-5 gallon is a good sized pot for a mature brug. In your zone you should be able to grow some real beauties but like me, you would need to store them. I trim them back in the fall, removing all the leaves and cutting them back so that they have usually 2 levels of Y's on the plant beyond the initial "Y". If you look at the top part of this plant it shows what I'm trying to describe. I feel it is important to have at least 2-3 nodes on the very end pieces, as dieback does sometimes happen over winter. My plants are stored dormant in both a crawl space and a heated garage. They are kept at approx. 55 degrees and are given a very light watering about every 3-4 weeks when kept at that temperature. They are sleeping so they don't need much water and if you saturate the rootball the plant will rot. I give just enough to keep them alive in their winter "coma", no more. For a brug in a 5 gallon pot it gets approx. 8-10 oz. of water poured up close to its stem. Far better to water lightly more often than to saturate, as you can't remove water if you were too heavy handed. The bottom picture is Maya which is not a super fast grower. The original plant is only approx. 15" tall and hasn't Y'd yet in that photo, that is the same plant on the right after just 3 months....See Moreelucas101
