Brugmansias have amazing looking flowers, I would like to have one of these plants one day!

[@rose2fame1]

Hi Rachel, that was fun watching you give your brogmansia a hard pruning. It does have beautiful flowers. Like none that I’ve seen before.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Thanks for watching!

[@Fabdanc]

I come to this channel for brutal prunings and "shocking" gardening methods. Can't wait to see an update on the bulbs you propagated by slicing them into bits!

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Oh dear. Am I really that shocking 😲😲😲

[@GlennLando]

A neighbor in Orlando, Florida, just gave me two 12-inch cuttings - one rooting in water, the other in a pot of soil, to be transplanted into the garden later. I will have to come back in 3-4 years to give you an update! 🌿

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Those things grow quickly. I hope it brings you much joy!

[@j5nephews558]

Omg, what a beautiful difference You are a great beautician!

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Haha. Thank you

[@donaldauguston9740]

Beautiful plant. Thank you for posting. DA - Vancouver, WA - USA

[@GardeningatDouentza]

You are welcome and thanks for watching.

[@michaelmccarthy4077]

Mine don't get pruned on any specific schedule because Florida. When a plant seems to be a bit out of control, I cut it back hard, it will fill back in lickety split.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Great to have that weather

[@Chichimomma]

I’m in FL too. I’ve got tons of them in my yard. Love them so much! They are very hardy, but the geckos love munching on them. I go through so much Neem spray. Are yours tall and leggy?

[@michaelmccarthy4077]

@@Chichimomma they get tall and leggy, that's why I chop them back. I don't know what kind of lizard you think is munching on them, most of the ones in Florida are carnivores (the main exception being Iguana). My guess would be you have either leaf cutter ants or leaf cutter bees.

[@Chichimomma]

@@michaelmccarthy4077 thank you! I just assumed it was the gecko b/c I saw one climbing up the trunk of one. I'll have to look up those pests you named. Never heard of it. I just bought this house a few months ago and trying to figure it all out...

[@PlantBasics]

I love your moon flower! sooo beautiful. Funny thing is they are not so popular in my warmer climate due to their water needs. They can be very thirsty in summer. Loved the video! Corbin

[@GardeningatDouentza]

This brugmansia is less thirsty than other ones. I gave up keeping the other ones too because I was run ragged watering them. Thanks for watching, Corbin.

[@celtichongy]

Always interesting, good job.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Glad you think so!

[@celtichongy]

Thank you Rachel. I always enjoy your new uploads as also John Lord and Lynn of Avalon Desert Plants. You guys make gardening interesting and add some fun. I also have interest in unusual or exotic shrubs and trees. Mixed success with Osmanthus Fragrans (Chinese Tea Olive or 'Gwei Fa' :not the commonly found Osmanthus in Irl or UK) and also Loropetalum Chinensis.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

@@celtichongy It's always nice to try something different. I've been skirting around getting that loropetalum for years as it really is so pretty. I see you have the best of taste in KZbinrs 😂

[@FernandaNascimentoOrchids]

I bet she feels much better, like when we have a much needed hair cut 😃🥰

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Yeah, I feel so too 🤣

[@benwinkel]

Those are some proper loppers!

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Yep 😄

[@niculinaraiu9893]

Bună as vrea și eu o asemenea frumusețe dar nu știu unde sa ma adresez.

[@davidking7222]

They are such a beautiful flower , it's sad they don't have a beautiful scent .

[@GardeningatDouentza]

It is a pity!

[@sapphiregarden9160]

Beutiful flower.. hope you can share the seed this colour brugmantia

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I share all my spare seed with channel members.

[@warrenparker8282]

Believe it or not I grow these in pots in Washington state in the summer time and prune back in winter time and put away in the basement until next summer . My tallest trumpet plant was a painted pink lady and was over 13 feet tall grown in a pot and had over 200 12 flowers on it. I had people stop all the time me what type of plant it was and when I told them they never heard of it.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

They are such beautiful plants if you can keep up with the watering and feeding. Bet yours are a vision in summer!

[@warrenparker8282]

@@GardeningatDouentza best fertilizer I have used on these plants is tomato plant food .

[@floresposito5771]

I wish I can get cuttings from your mother plant I live in North Carolina and I love them and I do not own one of those

[@GardeningatDouentza]

What a pity

[@tedscott1478]

If that was a scented one it would be a health hazard in a 'confined space' like a greenhouse or poly tunnel. If anyone went in there in the evening the scent would make you as high as a kite!

[@GardeningatDouentza]

It's not a scented one

[@GrannysGarden]

That is one vigorous plant!

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Yep 😊

[@glovesforsocks4603]

does yours make seeds?

[@GardeningatDouentza]

I have read that they don't make seed but strangely I have some this year. I forgot to mention it in the video but there's a photo somewhere on my Instagram and in memberships.

[@carmellacarey3553]

Yah by the way this plant may be eating my greenhouse! 😁

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Watch out!!!!

[@BBQNBLUES]

Regarding the Toxicity of this plant.. aren't you concerned about Catski licking you or playing with the fallen branches?

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Catsky might alternatively play with the laburnum or foxgloves! I think she has more sense!

[@glovesforsocks4603]

animals know the scent

[@DeniseLopezAT]

I’ve inherited these, moving into our new home. I was even afraid to touch it because of toxicity. So it’s ok to touch?

[@glovesforsocks4603]

@@DeniseLopezAT its completely fine to touch

[@GardeningatDouentza]

@@DeniseLopezAT Just don't lick your fingers after touching!
