Amazing plants! The blooms of one of them will blow you away. The cuttings are taken from the hardwood stems of the Brugmansias. About 5"-6" long and just shoved in soil in 5" pots. I do use rooting hormone--but I don't think it is necessary. I DO mind that there be a node at the top and bottom. They really do root quickly. In about 2-3 weeks, the cuttings are fully rooted and on their way. The leaves will start growing in no time and then--the plant is on it's way. |
