Beaumontia grandiflora

11 years ago

Couldn't resist one more: it's common name is 'Heralds Trumpet', a big magnificent tropical climber, I planted it about 12 months ago and today it's buds began to open. I suspect it'll be much too large for where I have it - on the pool fence. I'll see how it performs clipped to fit. Also has a lovely, subtle scent.

Very nice. I think I've seen it around, or something very similar.

Kay, I rooted this using florists' foam. I didn't really start out to root it, as I've heard it's difficult, but I broke a piece off when moving the mother plant. I took that piece and cut it down into three small cuttings, probably about three nodes long, then treated it like I do passiflora cuttings. Audrey, I REALLY want the 'Mojito'---but if I don't get any offers, then I'll get back in touch with you!

Do you have fungus gnats flying around? Could be the larvae from the fungus gnats? I've had the same problem with a couple of my seeds that were kept too wet and the seeds rotted. My solution is to make the soil medium drain better and not hold as much moisture - by adding things like perlite, turface, bark, etc...

Sorry that you've had to wait awhile for an answer to your post. According to B & T World seeds, Beaumontia grandiflora seeds will usually germinate in 7-30 days. Sow seeds about 2mm deep in a Peaty seed sowing mix at about 22Â°C.

Yeah, thanks Gary, I reckon eventually I'll have to find a bigger climbing space for it.

Does this plant grow from cuttings?

I haven't tried it but if you took a 'heel' cutting, I can't see why it wouldn't.
