I had great luck taking cuttings from my Brugmansias for years by dipping the cut segment in rooting compound, and then placing it deeply in water-saturated potting soil. I then put the small pot (recycled plastic pots from nursery plants) in clay saucers that I kept filled with water for at least a week. When I did this during warm weather, I had a success rate of almost 100%. If it was in fall weather, I had to keep the pots in a warmer location or the success rate was much lower.
The greatest thing about sharing cuttings is that if your mother plant dies for some unexpected reason, you always know where to go to get the initial stock back to start anew...............
