Angel Trumpet is one of the common names for Brugmansia. You can plant them outside but if you do it will freeze back every year and will take months to start blooming again. If we have a cold Winter like last year, some may not come back or if so be very weak. If the blooms only last a day it does sound like a water problem. You may need to go to a larger pot, or at least add water crystals. Brugs are heavy feeders but in the last few years we have stopped feeding. Almost all of ours are planted outside and we compost like crazy. The soil is so good additional feeding is not needed. Now that our soil has improved we have not seen as many bug problems as in the past. Good luck and you may try and attend the ETRU this Fall, there are always Brugs to be had there.
