Rooted cutting
  • What is a bare-rooted cutting?
    Bare-rooted cuttings are sold as 20-25 cm semi-hardwood lengths, with both roots and developing foliage (additional length). In preparation for shipping, some of the foliage is removed (this minimises plant distress during transit) the soil is washed away and the roots wrapped in moist packing material. Our cuttings are initially either water rooted or soil rooted.
  • What is an unrooted cutting?
    Unrooted cuttings are sold as 20-25cm minimum semi-hardwood lengths, with no roots or foliage. In preparation for shipping the base of the cutting is wrapped in moist packing material.

    Like many common garden plants, all parts of Brugmansia and Datura are toxic if ingested. Brugmansia & Datura All parts of these plants, including the sap, contain alkaloids like scopolamine, atropine and hyoscyamine which have an anticholinergic effect. Exercise self care when handling eg wear gardening gloves and consider wearing gardening safety goggles when handling these plants, as sap on the skin and eyes can be harmful.

  • When do Brugmansia flower?
    Brugmansia flower all year round, but not as much in cooler weather, when growth slows. Brugmansia start producing flowers, above where they form a Y section in their branches. Our rooted plants are cuttings taken from above th Y, which means even though young plants, the plant will generally begin producing flowers relatively quickly. It's not uncommon to see a cutting less than 30cm in height, produce a flower that is bigger than the plant itself (see image).
  • Unrooted cuttings looking sickly?
    As a sole operator of a small business, all orders are managed and checked for quality by me personally, before being shipped. Where any product is unfit (for various reasons) to be sent, I will always contact the customer and ask if they'd like a alternate replacement, or refund. In short, you can be assured that no item in less than perfect condition is shipped by me... EVER! So with that said, lets move on... No plant comes with a guarantee of success and this is obviously due to many different variables... from your own skills and know how, to the growing conditions you provide etc. Whilst brugmansia (unrooted cuttings) are very easy to propagate and we have exceptional feedback from customers with regards quality... from time to time losses are inevitable for everyone, myself included.
