I show the three ways I over Winter Brugmansia plants; commonly called Angel's Trumpet.
1st Leave in ground
2nd Take Cuttings
3rd Store the plant in the Garage
One or more of these methods will be suitable for you regardless of your Climate Zone.
My English Garden is near the coast in North West England, 1/3 of an acre (including the house) Zone 9a with sandy soil.

I love these plants. I planted a pink one on the edge of my ponds waterfall, I had a short 2 - 3 foot stream then too. One morning I saw maybe 8 - 10 little birds sitting in it taking turns in the stream. I also had one on the second floor porch, it was a bike traffic stopper, I so loved seeing people stop in awe of what they were looking at.

Thank you for this video Paul. I'm glad you also mentioned about planting in 50% manure in spring too as I'd just planted mine in compost this year gone by and didn't get any flowers. Mine's in the garage at the moment but as it's attached to my house I use it alot and has a light inside, do you think I would be best throwing a cover or something over it to keep it in complete darkness or will 5 minutes here and there not effect it? Many thanks

@paultsworld 7 ай бұрын

You’re welcome Mike, Sorry you didn’t get any flowers - you’re right, once they’ve got plenty of roots and are growing well you cannot over feed them. I also add tomorite to a watering can maybe every other watering. That’s good your garage is attached to the house - makes it a bit warmer. I think it’s actually a good thing for doors to be opened periodically as you use the space as it gives a better circulation of air. If it’s cold enough the plant should stay dormant so won’t grow any leaves so doesn’t need light but I can’t see it would be detrimental to actually have light. I wouldn’t cover the plant - better to have some air movement round it. Good luck for next year!

@paultsworld 3 ай бұрын

If your climate is mild enough then yes, leave it in the shed. However it doesn’t want to be below 5C very often. Once it’s growing well, direct sun is fine - it does like a lot of food and water during the Summer. Once you provide that you will easily grow a large brugmansia full of flowers. As you say, they are spectacular!

@paultsworld 28 күн бұрын

That’s a good question. That’s right brugmansias only flower above a fork. I have never pinched out brugmansias and find they’ll make forks on their own. I don’t know if pinching out is advantageous or not but I would be inclined to leave it to make its own forks - this will happen quite quickly once the weather warms up and it’s growing strongly.

Glad you found the video useful. The brugmansia plant mostly scents in the evening, so if you spend time out in the garden in the Summer evenings I believe there's probably not a plant to beat Angel's Trumpet. They do vary though and 'Charles Grimaldi' is one of the most strongly scented ones.

@paultsworld 4 ай бұрын

Hello Val, yes - cuttings want to be in the house so they can form roots. I would say if your main plant has some mould it is probably to do with a lack of air circulation. This happened to one of mine last Winter. If you have any mild days how about opening the garage doors or maybe bring the plant out into the sun for the day. I wouldn’t worry too much about it - wait till Spring and then cut back the plant where the mould is - it will soon grow well once it gets warmth, feed and some water once the frosts are over.

Thank you for the all the work you put into all your videos

Congratulations on your new brugmansias. Yes, they are poisonous but it’s not a problem. Many plants in the garden are also poisonous- foxglove for example. So with brugmansia I am happy to touch them - sniff the scent etc but I am careful to either wear gloves or wash my hands straight after. Of course not eat them. With many brugmansia the scent is so strong you don’t even need to get close to the plant to enjoy the evening scent. I am pleased you enjoy my videos.

You could do - give it lots of feed - manure etc and you’ll have a fantastic plant over the Summer. In the Autumn just dig it up, put it in a medium pot with moist compost - remove all the leaves and leave it somewhere that doesn’t get below 40f - a garage might suffice if attached to the house or a cool part of the basement. Somewhere dark is fine.

Hi Paul, I enjoy your clear videos, but can you advise… I bought a small Brugmansia ‘Charles Grimaldi’ last autumn and have kept it indoors with minimal watering, but it’s hasn’t therefore gone dormant, just dropped a few leaves! About 35cm tall with 5 or 6 leaves at the top. Should I put it into a cool (5 degree) GH for the rest of March, then start feeding and potting on? Or will it grow away anyway from its current ? semi dormant state?

@paultsworld 3 ай бұрын

Hi, congratulations on a Charles Grimaldi. I would keep it indoors until the weather warms up in April - nighttime in the greenhouse is still too cold if you’re in Britain. Be careful with watering - don’t over-water. Bit on the dry side is better at the moment. Once the leaves look as though they are growing nicely then water a little more and feed a bit. Then when everything looks good and it’s outside and strong leaves - it’s time to repot in something bigger and with some really good compost - should be warm enough outside then and it’ll really start growing. Good luck!

I purchased a rooted cutting in October and overwintered in 5-7° greenhouse. Most of the leaves fell off, and I’ve repotted it and it has 2 small leaves. But growth is very slow..it’s in the greenhouse and this spring it hasn’t been very warm in there so far so maybe I’m impatient? I’ve listened again to your video, so I just water sparingly until growth gets more vigorous & then pot on and feed++? Is it better to cut off the top so it ‘forks’ to produce better growth and flowers. Just don’t want to ruin it after all this TLC!!

@hilshils3426 Ай бұрын

I know you kindly replied to my last comment! Just wondering really about the cutting off the top so it branches more

@paultsworld Ай бұрын

No, I wouldn’t cut the top off - it’ll fork soon enough and will have a bit of height as well. keep it warm, easy on the watering, particularly until you see roots come out of the bottom of the pot. Because overnight has been so cold I’ve got my cuttings in the porch. If you could have it in the house till overnight temperatures are consistently over 10c. It’s just this early stage that needs care. Good luck, keep me informed.

I really want to get a brugmansia plant but I am hesitant because I am worried about the passing birds that I like to feed in the morning on the balcony. Do you think they could be in danger when they hang out around the plant? What is the level of precautions I have to take due to the toxicity of the plant, If I decide to get it? Very informative video by the way, thanks! :)

@paultsworld 4 ай бұрын

That’s an interesting thought. I have a lot of birds in the garden including a pair of robins that nested last Summer in my potting shed. Right next to the door of the potting shed I had a very large brugmansia plus two more towards the front of the house where they also hang out a lot. I must say I wasn’t concerned at all - I know for a fact those birds are OK because I am still hand feeding them to this day. I’ve never actually seen a bird interact or land on them. As far as my precautions with these plants - I quite happily touch them but do make sure I wash my hands shortly afterwards because I wouldn’t want to rub my eyes after touching them. Also I tend to wear gloves. But apart from that I treat them like any other plant. It’s worth noting that probably half the plants I have in my garden are poisonous - such as foxgloves. Hope that helps - glad you liked my video.

Wow, Paul, they’re amazing!!! Where did you buy yours from? I’ve never seen one in a garden centre. I live in Northumberland.

Hiya, sometimes Aldi have them in late spring but the best place is to search on Facebook Marketplace or even better check out the Brugmansia Facebook groups - plenty of them post out cuttings. Buy a couple of rooted cuttings in Spring. Lovely to hear I’ve inspired you to try them. 🌻
