Brugmansia Propagation from Cuttings

Introduction

Brugmansia are one of the easiest plants to propagate that i have worked with in a long time. The process requires relatively no materials and will have around 90-100% success rates ! I know this is a short guide but i have written it to show the ease with which people can collect and grow their own brugs

Materials

1 x Bucket or Plastic tub (tall not wide)
Enough water to half fill the container
root excelurator (nutrient)


Step 1 - Prepare your materials and Cuttings.

Fill the container halfway with water. I like to add a tiny bit of nutrients to the mix but it isn't needed. You will also want to take your cuttings (enough that half will be submerged in the water of the bucket) and remove the lower leaves upto the top few and even halve these.

Step 2 - Looking after the cuttings

All you will need to do is top the water up every few days and you should start to see bumps emerging around the parts of the stem in the water which will turn to roots. I like to let them get pretty decent roots in the water before i plant out and they survive fine.
