BE CAREFUL! They look and smell beautiful but they are so POISONOUS. I had them in my garden and I had breathing difficulty and itching. I was hospitalized.
Thank you for this very informative video. Someone just posted on my RU-vid channel information about this plant that has to do with Native Americans and their use of the plant. This person also informed me that you can take cuttings and put them in water and root this plant. I haven't tried it myself. I had a beautiful variegated one with peach flowers last summer in a pot and it grew very tall. I tried to save it over the winter and it stayed alive most of the winter it did drop leaves or I should say it's a love most all of the winner. When spring came it was too cold even through May in our area to put it outside and it didn't make it. I finally dropped all its leaves and I was hoping to get something from the roots but it's July and nothing has popped up out of the pot. The gentleman did give me info on my RU-vid channel how to take care of it over the winter apparently it needed more Sun than I gave it in an east facing window and needed more warmth than in the cool room that I had placed it. But I thought it was interesting that maybe I could have taken cuttings rooted them and had a smaller plant to bring inside and maybe it would have been easier to keep it alive over the winter. I was afraid to leave it in another area the house for fear the cat would try to munch on it and all parts of this plant apparently are very poisonous. I really worried about you at the end when you were sort of rubbing or tapping that leaf but apparently it didn't bother you! Thanks so much again for all the great info you put on RU-vid
A flower just opened up on the Brugmansia I just bought (a 'miners claim' - my first). All I can say about the smell is wow. It isn't like any other flower I've had - Roses, I like. Jasmine and Gardenias, I can't stand. This is different - it is more like a perfume - a very expensive one. It's an interesting plant.
I grow several of these plants in Washington state and they do very well the best fertilizer I have found to use in tomato plant food use the large end of the spoon witch comes with the fertilizer and add to one gallon of water and fertilize once every two weeks
This is a well-done video...after watching about 5 others- this has been the best. I love growing these flowers....Thank you for adding to my knowledge (the new growth after a flower-I didn't know that).
Are all of them fragrant? I had a pink one years ago which was heavenly! I got another one - yellow - a few years later and the fragrance was awful. A white one (of a family member) had no fragrance at all. Does this make any sense to you? Thanks
+Wendy Willow Angel Trumpets or Brugmanisa have different fragrances depending on the variety. The sanquinea hibrids are often not fragrant at all as is the species itself.
@@LogeesPlants I repotted the large plant into two pots. They are outside for now and during well. I am going on vacation in a few weeks. Hopefully they will be ok for a week without watering. Any suggestions?
I live in Brisbane Australia and mine wilt and look terrible in the middle of the day is summer but they perk up in the evening and fill the whole yard with fragrance awesome plants they do really well here in the winter and flower almost nonstop winter and summer and they grow very big most of mine are about 10 to 12 feet
802511 actually they aren't as poisonous as people think. it takes a rediculous amount via oral ingestion to kill someone. brugmansia sanguinea and vulcanicola are exceptions, but they are extremely rare and rarely ever sold or grown. as well as being extinct in the wild as per all brugmansia
In the cool zone they will die back to the ground but will re-sprout in the spring. Farther north, they can be planted in the ground but will need to be dug in the fall and wintered in a above freezing space.
why want my angel trump ant bloom it gets about 2 ft tall and all leaves I moved it 3 times and it just never blooms can can I put 10-10-10 fertilizer on it will that help
Brugmansia stems need to grow for a while and at some point you will see the growth fork or make tow stems. At this point the should be forming buds. look closely and see if young buds are forming sometimes they bedin to bud and the buds fall off or ‘blast’. This is due to stress i.e. not enough light or to much heat or too much fertilizer. So if they are being pruned that can stop flowering. With that said they need to be fertilized, 10-10-10 will work and the need full sun.
