It is in the size pot I'm happy with. I need to trim back .Only one branch has a Y on it. can I cut the other branches off? Only the Y branch bloomed this year. |

I am in central Florida so plants require almost daily watering unless it rains about an inch. I can't decide whether to plant in ground or cut back for the winter. It does freeze here and I know they will need to be brought in or covered well. They grew from about 2 inches ...now all 3 are about 5 feet high. |
| Positive | On Oct 14, 2014, jbuk from dartford, Have grown these lovely plants for many years ,always as pot grown and take them through winter,now at the age of 76 i find the pots hard to transport , and for the last 2 years have left them outside in a raised 3 metre octagonal bed they have survived i let the frost cut them down a bit, then cut them down to about a foot and mulch very well,then cover the entire bed with a few layers of fleece,at the moment ( October 14th ) they are 6-7 foot tall with dozens and dozens of white pink and yellow blooms all mixed , just waiting for the first frost to spoil the show ,before i put them to bed for the winter , and this is in Kent England about 15 miles outside London, |
| Positive | On Oct 14, 2014, Greenfingerappi from Harare, Just to let you know that this plant (Brugmansia) - we call it the Moon Flower, grows well here in Zimbabwe, I have a few in my own garden - white, cream and a lovely coral/pink. I have spotted a yellow one not too far away in our neighbourhood too...... |

| Positive | On Dec 3, 2007, daigu from San Anselmo, CA (Zone 9a) wrote: Does well in the ground in the hill country near Austin, but needs regular water and feeding during the height of summer in order to bloom. Afternoon partial shade helps. I cut it back to the ground and mulch heavily for the winters. |
| Positive | On Nov 18, 2005, Moonglow from Corte Madera, CA wrote: The blooms are quite elegant. Long corolla tube that tapers down before the skirt opening. No obvious insect problem. Seems to prefer cooler weather. |
| Positive | On Oct 10, 2004, Ponditis from Lincoln City, OR (Zone 9a) wrote: This plant is a strong grower and has no problems with spider mites even though the plant touching it was covered with them. It bloomed all summer off and on and in the final flush of summer right now it has finally dropped its skirts. I too would say it would do great in cooler summer temps. |
| Positive | On Oct 27, 2003, springsong from Brundidge, AL (Zone 8b) wrote: This plant likes cooler climates It has bloomed very well here but hasn't dropped it's skirt, till the temps dropped here. It has a fresh smell, My only white and I must say my favorite Brug thus far. It isn't bothered by aphids like some of the other whites i have seen. Very heavy blommer. blooms in flushes. |
