Those look so healthy Diane! You should be proud!
They are nice and full and green and and and...

Mine are coming along. Still in smallish pots as I don't have any more room for larger pots indoors. They mostly have 1 healthy branch growing each, but I'll take that! I have 3 that made it, and 1 that lost all its leaves but is still hanging on.

mine are all doing well, happy to say I haven't lost a single one that i rooted last winter, though some of them are still in 4" pots and haven't grown much. I've read that people who bought brugs in 3.5" pots had them out and they grew feets during the summer (some got up to 6') so I'm hoping mine will do that!

Hi Diane,
You can count me in as a Brug lover and grower. I experimented last fall with potted brugs. We have a few freezing nights that I covered the potted brugs with sheets. Also had some small ones in small pots that I could take inside. All my potted brugs made it and are doing fine. Having a slug problem though and have been experimenting with natural deterrants.(ph?) rolz I've been in the garden lately at midnight with flashlight in hand and learning quite a bit as to what's going on out there late at night. lol shock

I have three brugs in ground in front garden. Two came back, the other bit the dust. I had been having troubles with that one so I'm not too surprised.

Love those Brugs! flwr

They are huge with trumpet like flowers.. Should grow easy in calif.
I had a rough time with mine, someone sent cutttings and they went ape.. Then the white flys attacked and I had to take it to the basement.

They are nice.

I stopped there and ask her could I get a start off her banana tree and she said sure and told me she'd thin her plants and give me more too. So ever since then I see her about every other month and she loads my car up. the day I got the truck loaded she took me to meet her mom and I got plants out of her mom's yard

emde, I saw Brugs on sale at the Home Depot last week for $29.95. Aren't you in California? What, zone 9? Sounds like you can grow them. Anyway, I was surprised to see Brugs for sale at the Home Depot. They were a substantial size too. They better be for $29.95 huh? lol

Enrique, I'll send you some cutting if you can wait a while, maybe fall? mine are still very small even after being inside all winter, I don't have much light for them or space for bigger pots. I had a packet of brug seeds you can try but they're from last year or year before. I never got around to sowing them.

Diane, and other bruggies lol I was wondering, I have my brugs out now (it's 21*C around 70*F and the nights can dip down to 5*C, can I keep them outside all night or should I bring them in?

Enrique, the seeds you've found are daturas, not brugmansias. To tell the difference, brug flowers hang down, and datura flowers bloom upwards. I sent you some white daturas with your package of seeds...are the ones you're looking at doubles? Daturas can reseed readily, especially D. stramonium can get invasive (aka jimson weed). Do be careful, both plants are dangerous...deadly but so cool!

I'm confused 99% of the time lol you would die laughing if you heard about all the mistakes I made when I first started in the garden lol I sent you seeds of both species: white datura, datura la fleur lilac, and brugmansia (white x white and pink) Did you get them yet, or is Canada post slower than ever?
