My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.
Will-At the Spring Swap I got one of your Brugmansias. I also have my own cuttings. Your plant grew about 14 inches so far and already has pods on it. What did you do different than I do. The one brug that has pods on it was the white one.
Well, they were under lights all winter and went down to the basement every day to 'threaten' them so maybe thats it. White Sauvolens (think that's the one you got) is always one of my first, if not the first, to bloom. Of the one's in the yard right now Wh. Sauv and Frosty Pink are in a race to which will bloom a full 'flush' first. I don't know about you all but June makes our long winter wait worth while for me. Will
So you take your cuttings and do you put them in water until they root then place them under the lights? Do you do that with all your varieties? Let me know when your other colors bloom to. I would like to compare. I have been feeding mine 1 to 2 times a week.
I actually use a very 'light' rooting mix instead of rooting them in water. Roots developed in water sometimes don't transition that well in my experience to soil. Some folks use air layering (see the Brug forum)successfully but I haven't tried this. Right now 'Ecuador Pink' is in its first flush. Most others are just making buds or vegetative growth. Will
Thanks Will, the one you had my name on it has 3 buds. I am very excited to see how beautiful the flowers will be. The one that I picked up at the swap has done nothing so far - still a stick. Hope it will come. How big will they get in one season?
It's hard to say how big.....once they start blooming the plant tends to keep branching and be more bushy. But they often send out a shoot from the roots or trunk which will get taller than the parent. That's how I usually get them to a taller form which i like better for displaying the blossoms, less bending to smell in the evening and just general maintenance. Will
Thanks, Will! Do you cut off the parent? If so, I would like to give to my neighbor. Will it be too late to root in the dirt for it to bloom this year? Should I just disgard it and cut off a branch in the fall for my neighbor to root in the winter?
