Hows Your Brugmansia
Hows Your Brugmansia
I gave mine a little bit of water and it is on a mission .I cut it every year to fit it in the conservatory .It might flower but it has no room .

Re: Hows Your Brugmansia
Mine are only 6inch cuttings under some LED grow light but are romping away nicely.

Try again when the plant is in growth.

Re: Hows Your Brugmansia
I just de-leaf them and stick in a glass of water.
Best regards

Re: Hows Your Brugmansia
Mine are struggling to leaf out, but they're outdoors like Nature intended plants (and humans) to be.
Re: Hows Your Brugmansia
Some of my Brug cuttings have also taken over winter in the soil .And some of my Abutilon cuttings took .
Re: Hows Your Brugmansia
So have I, often as not get 100% failure rate.Dave Brown wrote:I just de-leaf them and stick in a glass of water.
Tried Clonex & straight into compost, using 1litre squash bottles.
Some aren't dead yet!
I'm sure I get better results when the plants are in active leaf growth.
Its frustrating.

I took my 4 foot cuttings when I cut all stems but one back in mid November before digging upSteph wrote:So have I, often as not get 100% failure rate.Dave Brown wrote:I just de-leaf them and stick in a glass of water.

Re: Hows Your Brugmansia
I took my cutting about the same time . I am surprised it rooted down winter time .I have been giving it small amounts of water.
Re: Hows Your Brugmansia
I root cut my Brugmansia sanguinea in December, and it's doing well, slow growth, but not much, it should take off nicely in summer.
Re: Hows Your Brugmansia
I thought sanguineas were difficult to root. Mine is in leaf (outside) but hasn't flowered since Dec 2012. If I could root it, perhaps the cutting would flower? And I could discard the hopeless non-flowering mother plant...
