This was very helpful since I had not been able to find anything on pruning the plants back. Thank you!

This grows all year round in northland nz , It's called Daytura , here The horses on our farm would from time to time, eat some of it and behave madly afterwards , racing round the field endlessly . It influences heart rates , nice video, BEAUTIFUL PLANT . THANKS , ❤NZ

Thanks for sharing Angela, really interesting. Greatings from Kenya and thanks for following my channel.

[@ahaanh8456]

It is poisonous to them, and datura is a different genus often confused with datura, so is it brugmansia or datura.

[@paultreviews]

@@ahaanh8456 That's an easy one to answer - brugmansias...the trumpets hang down Datura...they point upwards.

So excited to try growing this plant again on MD's Eastern Shore where I recently found a nearby neighbor growing one in their front yard. It was dripping with so many blossoms. Thanks for an informative piece.

The Brugmansia is so quick to propagate, good luck and happy gardening!

I have one datura with the upfacing flowers and another baby, not sure what kind it is. Either brugmansia or datura, its only just gotten its first 2 or 3 true leaves. I live in South louisiana, close to new orleans. It doesnt get very cold here over the winter, we might get a handful of freezing nights the entire year. Should i bring the baby inside and let it sit in a sunny window? Or bring it into my garage or leave it out? I just want to make sure i keep them happy and healthy, i love them so much! My older one is flowering right now, so beautiful

[@redsoilgardener]

Hi, thanks for sharing. With regards to the baby, I would bring it in, and store it in your garage. The reason being, firstly, the baby is young and placing it outside and in case the temperature dips you may lose it. During the winter, when the temperature drops most plants will go dormant. They take a rest. They slow down which means they require less watering, keeping the soil barely moist. All they require is a frost free, cool and dark place. I therefore suggest bring the baby inside and take care and monitor it.

@redsoilgardener thank you!! 😊

[@ushik2942]

Such wonderful info. I just subscribed to your channel. I have a (stupid) question though. Is it possible to store it on the attic (with minimal light due to lack of windows)?

[@redsoilgardener]

Yes it is possible to store in a poorly lit room as the plant goes into dormancy. Minimum water is required. Thank you for subscribing very grateful.

Great video ,I just checked on mine today I had it in the garage and it’s got mold on it so what should I do ,it is Feb where iam in zone 7-8

[@redsoilgardener]

Hi I suspect that your garage could be damp. In situations where there is dampness you would get mold or mildew. In an overwinter situation you need to have the plant in a dry, cool and dark location. Try spraying the plant with fungicide, remove the damaged leaves and if the soil is damp you can repot the plant in a more draining soil with a bit of grit. As the plant is going through dormancy water sparingly. Place the plant in a sunnier position and keep turn it around. Let me know if this helps.

[@joannenraypeacocke2653]

I have angel trumpet and datura. The datura is covered in seed pods but none on the trumpet. How do you get seed pods on the trumpet? Thanks in advance

[@redsoilgardener]

Hi Joanne, Funny I have had a similar question few months ago. What it appears is the Brugmansia Arboreas variety produces seeds. And that is the variety that we have in Kenya. Try to find out your variety of angels trumpet and inquire from your garden center if it seed. However, if you do have the Arboreas wait until the flower gets spent. It will then produce a long tubular seed pod. Leave it to dry out on the plant. Once dry open it out to get the seeds. Keep me posted and Happy gardening!

[@joannenraypeacocke2653]

Thanks for the info I will see what I can find out from the garden centre

[@KosmicKaren]

Thank you. I notice your leaves are also cut up like mine are. Is that caused by a bee cutter or what bug?

[@redsoilgardener]

Hi thanks for sharing. Funny as most of Angels Trumpets are in the garden and surrounded by so many other plants, I never noticed. So I just had a look at the leaves and embarked on some research. Cabbage moths caterpillar (loopers), Cutworms, snails and slugs love to chew on the Brugmansia leaves. Thanks for sharing as now I have learnt something new. Will research again and may do an episode on it. Thanks again for sharing.

[@KosmicKaren]

@@redsoilgardener ok, thanks!

[@helensteiner319]

We have lonceria huminging bird trumpet vine growing on fence between property. Should they need pruning.

[@redsoilgardener]

Prunning is always a good thing as it rejuventates the plant, encourages new shoots and allows the new shoots to reach for the sunlight. It also helps with air circulation as vines can sometime grow too thick and with no cirulation it becomes and invitation for pests and fungal disease. You could do some light prunning now as it is such a vigorous grower or wait till late winter / early spring after the last freeze and do hard prunning.

[@shepopop]

I have many in my garden . A few years ago after cutting back / removing foliage , I did end up visiting my doctor and opticien . I was very very unwell for days , so please wear gloves and eye protection . Also ; This plant can cause heart attack .

[@redsoilgardener]

Thank you for sharing and have taken note. Hopeyou are feeling better.
