ANGEL TRUMPET CARE
Brugmansia Suaveolens Yellow are very easy to grow tropical plants that require little care. They add a wonderful accent to any outdoor space, garden or patio. In very cold zones a containerized Suaveolens Yellow can be brought inside for the winter months. Most will survive a very light frost and quickly return to normal in spring. In the northern end of their grow zone Suaveolens Yellow plants should be protected with mulch during the winter months. Remember it is normal in zones 8 and 9, for Brugmansia to die back for the winter months only to return bigger and more vibrant the next season.
When you receive your new Brugmansia, there is no need to worry about planting right away. Your new plant can be stored for a while by simply placing it in a bucket with about a half inch of water in the bottom and moving it to a shady location. You can then add some mulch to the bucket to keep your Suaveolens Yellow standing upright. The mulch will also supply nutrients while in storage. This will give you plenty of time to select the ideal location for your new Angel Trumpet.
CONTAINER SIZE
Most gardeners don’t realize that Brugmansia Suaveolens Yellow grow very well in patio containers. Allow enough room for growth generally a 10″ to a 20″ diameter, 10″ deep container will suffice. Remember the looser the roots, the taller and healthier your plant will be. When the plant becomes root bound its growth will slow. At that point it is time for a larger pot.
SOIL
Brugmansia enjoy well drained but moist, rich organic mix. Remember try to stay away from wet, mucky or dry sandy soils.
FERTILIZER
To help establish your new Brugmansia Suaveolens Yellow, fertilize sparingly at least 8 inches away from the trunk, biannually with a slow time release 15-5-10. Unfertilized they will tend to grow very slowly. Note: The heavy salts in cheaper fertilizers will damage the roots thus killing the plant.
GROW ZONE & LIGHT
Best outdoors if grown in zone 8b-11, find your zone here. This Angel Trumpet requires 80-90% sunlight. Depending on your location filtered sun is best. In the northern end of their grow zone Suaveolens Yellow plants should be brought indoors or protected during the winter months. The patio zone is 4b-11 which means the potted plant will flourish over the summer months in colder zones but must be brought inside before the first frost. Remember it is normal in zones 8 and 9, for Brugmansia to die back for the winter months only to return bigger and more vibrant the next season.
