I started growing a few Brugs from seed for the first time last year, so not sure what to do with this overwintered one to get it started. The bare one in the bigger pot grew well last year and forked into a 'Y', when the two stems had ...

Day of the triffids no room for that

Heya, I know this is a long shot but i was hoping to get a Brugmansia sanguinea (yellow with red ends)for my dads christmas, i've tried loads of nurseries online and this plant seems to be rather rare not to mention unusual sold over winter however i ...

Just a quick question my Brug is loosing its leaves but still has flowers on and plenty of buds do you think it needs bringing in for the winter now? Why could it be loosing its leaves? It has been flowering constantly from March. I am ...

My brugs are finally about to flower at long last. The original huge leaves - now very nibbled - don't look too good, and at the leaf/stem junction I have lots of small side shoots coming out with new leaves on. Can I cut the larger old leaves off to show the flowers better?

My plants all have leaves growing from the main trunks. Would it be better for the plants to remove these short growths? I've seen plants in pictures with 'clean legs' & they do long neater. Most of it is very short, but lower down there are some longer pieces. Would the longer pieces be ok as c...

I've grown these gorgeous plants for years and I've always fed with soluble feed (Miraclegro or similar), almost every watering - after Akamba visit I'll be feeding some with Mr Mo's special brew as well. I don't get any flowers until mid/late August - is this usual? This is the first time I've had ...

Thought i'd show this girl off as she's just opened her 4th trumpet on the 1st flush. The type is called Chloranth but generally out there on the web i see references to Chlorantha so i'm not too sure if there's a difference. The leaves have held up well up to insectoid attack and hailstones - unlik...

Can anyone give any advice on feeding brugmansias please.I bought mine from the Tatton flower show 2 years ago and was told they are heavy feeders and was advised to use a balanced feed but no particular brand was suggested. Its now starting ...

For about 4 years I have owned 2 varieties of Brugmansias, both with different habits (well, for me anyway) I had a Dalens Glory, which never grew very tall but was very free flowering from about May onwards, even from 3 foot tall, however every ...

I've several brugmansia plants & I really want to change their pots. What are the largest size pots you've used for a brugmansia? It doesn't seem worth going up just one size & I've been thinking of getting some big black ...

... opinion, is it best to keep them in a greenhouse to bring the flowering season foward. OR stick in the ground to encourage bushy growth. All my Brugs are now leafing up but as ever I'm impatient to see them flower which is normally Ausgust time for my lot... What does the panel think?? icon_scratch

Good afternoon al.Yet again i could do with some help please :roll: I bought this brug last year it flowered lovely.I overwintered it in my shed next to the window which seems ok.So will this plant start to regrow?all the growth fron the Y died so i cut that of leaving ...

Hi Just a quick question. Do I just leave my brug to its own devices or do I nip the growth.Thanks in advance

While as Wisley back in December a few of us remarked on the double Brugmansia in flower there. T & M have some for sale HERE at the moment, I don't recall ever seeing these for sale before.
