Wow, great pictures, Jeff. You really did a lot of work getting them all into their new homes. I'm very impressed with how fast they are growing under your care. You do have a lot of bare stems, but I've had cuttings root that had no leaves or that had dropped their leaves. Hopefully, they will grow some quickly.

The Brug cuttings will love the nutrients that you are providing. Brugmansias are very heavy feeders, and the more fertilizer that you provide them, the more they will flower for you. Brugmansia enthusiasts often fertilize their brugs with a balanced fertilizer twice a week in the growing season, but I don't fertilize that much. I probably fertilize once every other week, and I use fish emulsion, Superthrive, and Epsom salts as supplements. Some of them tend to bloom in cycles. Have you been over to Dave's Brugmansia Forum yet? Check out their pictures! Some of the colors and shapes are awesome.

Thanks again for sharing your pictures. I've got nothing new to report as I have not removed the plastic cover for more than a week now, but they still look good through the plastic!

LOL! I'm not ready to wrap it up quite yet. We've had a few days in the high 70's and low 80's, and I've been doing some pruning and spending more time in the garden, but I'll check in in the evenings to see what's happening when I can. I'm just getting so behind on some of my other responsibilities that I've got to spend less time on the computer!

Talk to you later!
