Canadian Gardening: Looking for Brugmansisa cuttings, 1 by

You can overwinter them in a cool greenhouse BUT you can't let them get to freezing levels. They must be dry when they go in and water sparingly. It's best to take cuttings of all of them, bring them into the house, in a cooler room and overwinter them there. Buy some concentrated Neem oil, dilute it as per instructions and spray with that. I have been overwintering brugs for many, many years, so many I can't count now. Sometimes I lose a few, but not many. I am also very fortunate to have a conservatory too, but it's full of orchids, brugs, tropicals etc.

For those of you who remember my Boxer, Oscar, he passed away at the end of November. It was a sad day but he lived much longer than anyone expected. Last Saturday I picked up Beau from a breeder on Galiano Island. He's 8 week old boxer baby.
