Mine don't get pruned on any specific schedule because Florida. When a plant seems to be a bit out of control, I cut it back hard, it will fill back in lickety split.
I’m in FL too. I’ve got tons of them in my yard. Love them so much! They are very hardy, but the geckos love munching on them. I go through so much Neem spray. Are yours tall and leggy?
@@KosmicKaren they get tall and leggy, that's why I chop them back. I don't know what kind of lizard you think is munching on them, most of the ones in Florida are carnivores (the main exception being Iguana). My guess would be you have either leaf cutter ants or leaf cutter bees.
@@michaelmccarthy4077 thank you! I just assumed it was the gecko b/c I saw one climbing up the trunk of one. I'll have to look up those pests you named. Never heard of it. I just bought this house a few months ago and trying to figure it all out...
A neighbor in Orlando, Florida, just gave me two 12-inch cuttings - one rooting in water, the other in a pot of soil, to be transplanted into the garden later. I will have to come back in 3-4 years to give you an update! 🌿
I come to this channel for brutal prunings and "shocking" gardening methods. Can't wait to see an update on the bulbs you propagated by slicing them into bits!
I love your moon flower! sooo beautiful. Funny thing is they are not so popular in my warmer climate due to their water needs. They can be very thirsty in summer. Loved the video! Corbin
This brugmansia is less thirsty than other ones. I gave up keeping the other ones too because I was run ragged watering them. Thanks for watching, Corbin.
So twice a year this Burgmansia bush is afraid when it feels this blond human approaching it ! Let edit this video, this time with the Burgmansia point of view... Backgroundmusic : The Jaws theme The dialog : The scream of the Hitchcock movie : Psycho.... The end of the film.... the smile of the psychopath after having killed a ton of branches 🙂 Just kidding.... I know this plant can handle it... but at the beginning you said : You need not to prune too low.... and at the end... damn !!!! But great job.... I discovered Brugmansia this year only. Live in Canada, so have learn about winterizing... I steal (yes I know it's not a good behaviour !) 3 cuttings from a neighbour's Brugmansia and did propagate in water. I got plenty of roots. Now I have to plant them in soil.... but don't know if I have to impose them a dormancy periode after this soil planting. I got a very good leafs expansion already.... My apartment is not that "cold" for a dormancy period.... Did you also have to deal with pest in your greenhouse, if yes, what do you do to control it ?
Yes,blet the brugmansias be very afraid 😅😅😅 Well done with your cuttings. Generally speaking new seeds or cuttings should not have any dormancy imposed on them. Let them grow and they will find their own rhythm bin the end. I treat with isopropyl alcohol in the greenhouse as necessary. I also have a copper anti slug strip at the door and sprinkle a few slug pellets in there too. Hope this answers your questions.
Thank you Rachel. I always enjoy your new uploads as also John Lord and Lynn of Avalon Desert Plants. You guys make gardening interesting and add some fun. I also have interest in unusual or exotic shrubs and trees. Mixed success with Osmanthus Fragrans (Chinese Tea Olive or 'Gwei Fa' :not the commonly found Osmanthus in Irl or UK) and also Loropetalum Chinensis.
@@celtichongy It's always nice to try something different. I've been skirting around getting that loropetalum for years as it really is so pretty. I see you have the best of taste in UA-camrs 😂
I have read that they don't make seed but strangely I have some this year. I forgot to mention it in the video but there's a photo somewhere on my Instagram and in memberships.
If that was a scented one it would be a health hazard in a 'confined space' like a greenhouse or poly tunnel. If anyone went in there in the evening the scent would make you as high as a kite!
Brugmansias have amazing looking flowers, I would like to have one of these plants one day!

Great to have that weather

Hi Rachel, that was fun watching you give your brogmansia a hard pruning. It does have beautiful flowers. Like none that I’ve seen before.
Thanks for watching!

Those things grow quickly. I hope it brings you much joy!

Oh dear. Am I really that shocking 😲😲😲
Beautiful plant. Thank you for posting. DA - Vancouver, WA - USA
You are welcome and thanks for watching.
Omg, what a beautiful difference
You are a great beautician!
Haha. Thank you

Beutiful flower.. hope you can share the seed this colour brugmantia
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I share all my spare seed with channel members.
Bună as vrea și eu o asemenea frumusețe dar nu știu unde sa ma adresez.

@@GardeningatDouentza Yes thank you so much !
I bet she feels much better, like when we have a much needed hair cut 😃🥰
Yeah, I feel so too 🤣
Always interesting, good job.
Glad you think so!

I wish I can get cuttings from your mother plant I live in North Carolina and I love them and I do not own one of those
What a pity
does yours make seeds?
I have read that they don't make seed but strangely I have some this year. I forgot to mention it in the video but there's a photo somewhere on my Instagram and in memberships.
They are such a beautiful flower , it's sad they don't have a beautiful scent .
It is a pity!
Those are some proper loppers!
Yep 😄
That is one vigorous plant!
Yep 😊
Regarding the Toxicity of this plant.. aren't you concerned about Catski licking you or playing with the fallen branches?
Catsky might alternatively play with the laburnum or foxgloves! I think she has more sense!
animals know the scent
I’ve inherited these, moving into our new home. I was even afraid to touch it because of toxicity. So it’s ok to touch?
@@DeniseLopezAT its completely fine to touch
@@DeniseLopezAT Just don't lick your fingers after touching!
If that was a scented one it would be a health hazard in a 'confined space' like a greenhouse or poly tunnel. If anyone went in there in the evening the scent would make you as high as a kite!
It's not a scented one
it's easy chop chop and chop
Yep, lots of chopping ☺️
Yah by the way this plant may be eating my greenhouse! 😁
Watch out!!!!
