Brugmansia are junkies when it comes to food. I wouldn't use time release on them because of that. I rarely feed my brugs after June because I'm scared they will rip themselves out of the ground and hunt me down for more.

In the Spring (mine die back to the ground) I feed them that 1 tbs per gallon stuff every week when I start to see new growth. Once they are about 1 - 2 feet tall I feed them 1.5 tbs a week for a month or so. After that you can go as high at 2tbs per gallon.

They key is to water them well the night before and feed in the morning. Doing it this way insures good percolation and distribution. By feeding in the morning you get better uptake.

I just wish brugs looked as good in the day time as they do at 2 am in the morning.
