Hi Folks!!
I love it here at Daves.
My friend Clare Bought me a gift subscription.
Aint she soo sweet?
Now for my question...
After several large bloom flushes and much intense sun and heat.
My Frosty Pink is now covered with small leaves, like 2 or 3 inches at most.
Prior they were over 15 inches!
What is the cause of this? root boundness, lack of food?
I appreciate all your help and taunts :P

Oh, the taunting part, Michael, don't tempt me! LOL
Yes, the large leaves are juvenile foliage, and once they reach flowering stage, as the brug is older, the leaves usually do become smaller.
I doubt you are doing anything wrong with your baby, especially if she has had several large bloom flushes. Do the leaves look good?
Great good luck to you! Congrats on your brug and on your gift subscription!

I just created a thread for this information but thought I would post it for you to consider when looking at your leaves.

Brugmansia (Angel's Trumpet) Food Deficiencies
This information is for any plant but I created this thread for the Brug Forum because there have been many postings concerning their leaves.
Nitrogen
Overall yellow with no green veins
Magnesium
Yellow between veins, looks somewhat like iron deficiency
Boron
New leaves are smaller, edges curl and are thicker
Potassium
Browning of older leaves, edges dying, leaf crinkling and splotching
Manganese
Mottling of new leaves with checkering between veins
Iron
Yellowing of all but the veins
Sulfur
Lack of pigment in all parts of new leaves
Is there a general food or granuels used to treat or keep all these issues at bay?
Thanks for the responses!!
But no taunts? :(
Thanks for that handy list Judy. I'll print and save that.
