Where best to buy brugmansia?

@JWK Wish I had read all posts on the thread first as I've Just received a cutting today from ebay just wondering now is it any good? Named as angels flight, i first saw the brugmansia last year on garderners world and thought WOW, then i joined the forum and again seeing members brugs i thought I'd get one, so here it is, not sure what to do next

 

Doesn't look like a cutting from a very strong plant, it may take a while to get going, but they are very responsive plants given lots of feed and potting on regularly.
If it was mine I'd put it into survival mode now, so not too warm, but say a night min of 10C rising to 15C during the day, and as much natural light as possible.
Only water when its looking a bit dry.
After it gets moving say in April, pot it on to a pot a couple of sizes bigger, then again, and again.
Feed well once growth gets going around May time.

 

Thanks @pete have to be the bay window in the living room for now, not sure how to tell the wife she can't have the heating on

 

Still feeling rather annoyed with myself over my cutting, I ordered another one, arrived today, I could see the difference in quality straight away.

 

Well both cuttings seeing new growth so quite happy.

 

Who were the seller who you bought the second brugmansia off @mazambo ? I keep having a look on ebay but can't make my mind up yet which one to go for.

 

@Perki seller was jackymo52 hope that helps

 

A word of caution...apologies if this has already been mentioned.....brugmansias are toxic in all their parts. Beware esp if you have inquisitive pets or children
However, I once grew a huge specimen in the garden. As I recall it was some 6’ tall. Lovely plants but no longer part of my garden now

 

Yes I'm aware they are toxic thanks @Verdun , I think it's one of those things better said over and over rather than not mentioned at all

 

For sure mazambo....

 

I've heard / read before that people used to smoke them to make them hallucinate don't know if its true but if you smoke to much it will kill you

 

Both the cuttings I have are coming on a treat, I've scoured the internet today to see how to care for them i.e. food, watering, with no joy, loads of info for the plants themselves and how to take cuttings but nothing on how to grow on the cuttings, can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

 

Loads of water and feed, difficult to overfeed a brug when in full flight.
Pot on regularly, as soon as the pot gets full of roots.
Sunny at the moment but some shade in mid summer is beneficial.

 

@pete brilliant thanks

 

Extremly valid input Verdun. I am of the mind that to constantly remind all our gardening friends of the perhaps danger zones of plants, is a good thing. I can't imagine any wise gardener objecting to frequent reminders.

I have to admit. I am not familiar with this plant. Might I suggest the RHS.org website and the plantfinder area.
