Brugmansia

I usually cut off any roots that come through the bottom after they finish flowering.

 

Hi

th3 one you kindly gave me has no stop flowers for weeks and still flowering

what do you do with yours over winter

 

I cut back a bit and put in the garage, any leaves fall off and I only water if it getting bone dry.
They seem to survive OK like that without any heat as long as they have got woody growth.

 

Hurray, first bloom of the year opened ...

 

The last of the four buds opened ...

 

Hello Brug Lovers. I need advice on what to do with this sad one I did from seed and have blooms. It tried to die in our excessively hot summer, but it is alive.

I need to/want to cut it, but where, so I can plant the cut off bit.

Thank you in advance for your thoughts/advice.

 

I think you could cut that back quite hard if you want a bush type plant, if you want a standard, then I would cut one stem back to the base and form the head from the growth at the top of the remaining stem, maybe a stake to straighten it up.

I'd cut the piece you cut off into 8in lengths and stand them an a jar with about 3 to 4 ins of water, put in a light but not overly hot place and wait, change the water if it gets smelly.

It should root in about 5 or 6 weeks.
That's just what I would do.

Edit, if you do the water rooting make sure you get them the right way up.

 

Thanks Pete, I knew you had done this before. I was thinking at the dog leg. Just below or above. I can't find how to do marking! Doh! Or take the new bit off the to. I just plan on sticking them in the soil.. I have never done well rooting in water.

 

I'd take one back to the Y if you want a standard, or take off both above the Y if you want a bush.

 

Some flowers coming on Grevillea semperflorens and Kunzea baxteri.

 

Nice @strongylodon ! I'll have to check if my g. semperflorens is flowering. I need to get some cuttings off it - it's looking a bit dodgy.
How hardy do you find the kunzea?

 

Apologies, this shouldn't be in the Brug thread.
The grevillea was bought as a small plant earlier in the year. The Kunzea is in a pot and I haven't chanced it outside in winter so I don't know how hardy it is.

 

Got it cut back and the pieces planted in the same pot ...

 

Charles Grimaldi is starting to bloom ...
