brugmansia plant

Look how nice my Brugmansia plant is flowering already in its tiny pot! Maybe we don’t feel the summer too much, but the flowers can’t be fooled :-)

Brugmansia is a plant I came to love only after re-seeding it time after time.

My first brugmansia’s hardly managed to survive, since brugmansia plant care is a busy job. My plants got eaten by snails attacked by white fly, spider mites and some invisible killers. Yet before the worst happened, I managed to get a few flowers and a few fruits. The latter means: lots of free brugmansia seeds!

The sprouts are plentiful and they surely look as if they are family of tomatoes.

But again: getting a seedling into a mature brugmansia plant is a daunting task until one day…

It seems I have now brugmansias that are fully adapted to my garden. I hardly look at them only to admire them when they are flowering :-)

With all this in mind I must say that brugmansia propagation is quite easy when you have the patience to grow a few generations. It worked out fine with my brugmansia triple orange :-)

If you don’t know which brugmansia to buy in order to have the least plant care to give: always ask your florist for brugmansia advice. He will be able to explain you everything you need to know about how to grow brugmansia.

Just keep in mind when they need to order brugmansias, it could take some time, as these plants seem to have some import restrictions due to being quite poisonous.

Just keep in mind these plants are from a warmer region, so make sure to put your brugmansia plant in pots and take them indoors in winter.
