Brunfelsia Species, Lady of the Night

I have both Brunfelsia americana and Brunfelsia jamaicensis. The americana has white glowers that fade to cream before falling, whereas t...Read Morehe jamaicensis stay white until the fall. Both have a similar fragrance that wafts well in the evenings, but jamaicensis has a citrus note on top of the same base fragrance (similar fragrance to a white frangipani or Little Gem magnolia). However, it seems to have a much shorter blooming season.

I have 3 brunfelsia - Lady of the Night, Princess of the Night and Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow. The latter has bloomed off and on sinc...Read Moree I got it over a year ago. The Lady is blooming now but is a very small plant - < 8 " tall. Quite surprised. Princess is growing nicely, but not bloomed yet. All are grown indoors with plenty of light.

The smell is awesome. YTT is interesting cause the flower changes color 3 times.

I don't have this particular Brunfelsia, but my horticulture books say to take woody cuttings in fall, in a lot of sand and some peat mos...Read Mores. Another source online says green wood cuttings in spring.

Aloha,

We live in Hawaii and just moved from one part of Oahu to another.

In the previous place, I have a B...Read Morerunfelsia amrericana plant that is doing well.

After we moved I wanted it at our new place.

I went back a got some branches to make cuttings to grow.

So far I have used RootBoost and Dip n Grow with No success.

The cuttings that I am using are less than 1/4 in in diameter.

Some are dark hard wood and others are softer green wood.

I have tried using a variety of store bought potting soils.

I also tried growing from seeds with no results.

Any help in growing "Lady of the Night" will be appreciated.

Thank You
