Now that spring has sprung, I want to trim back my Brugmansia. I heard recently that Brugs will only bloom after a fork?? Does any one know any more details about this? Maybe this is why my Brugs take so long to bloom each year as I trim them back every spring.
Here we call it Brugmansia's love to swim in the **** this means: replant every year in a large pot (40 cm is not large for brugmansia, 80 cm comes first) with new potting mixture make a rich compost with bone meal as soon as growth appear every week fertilise this should work and give you lots of flowers cutting back is not the problem Roland moderator's note: edited out swear word
Thanks Bulborum I do have them in huge pots with compost mixed with soil. It seems to take most of the summer to get blooms but I only remember to fertilize about once a month.
It is better to cut the plant back in a nice shape it is flowering a few weeks earlier then most important once or twice a week fertilise with not to high nitrogen don't over-water the plant but absolutely don't let it dry out protect for the hottest part of the day lots of sun in the morning and evening in a frost free area he can flower summer and winter Roland
