I bought this tree from a guy at the farmer's market for 15 bucks! it's huge, about 5 feet tall with 3 huge blooms and 1 pod that hasn't bloomed. I've already read a lot of information on them, but any suggestions for apartment life with this tree? I can't put her out until summer when it's warmer. I have her in front of a window that is open and letting in huge amounts of light. Sufficent enough? I also watered her with Miracle-Gro 24-8-16 (this was before I read the part on fertilizer!). Are they sensative enough that I should check the PH of the soil? Any sort of feed back is appreciated! Thanks!

I haven't tried it but I know a lot of people on the Brugmansia forum overwinter them indoors.

threegardeners, I know what you mean! I have to check to see if the person I am refering to another forum is a subscriber first and then make sure the forum has not been renamed to something new before I can comfortably steer anyone to it since not all forums are open to nonsubscribed members.

I just realized that this question was posted back in APRIL! I sure hope they found the answer long ago!
