Brugmansia

Thanks to our @joolz68, I have a brug

The wee fella is having a drink and a rest on a cosy windowsill (not too warm, not too cold) for now, and hopefully I will be posting pictures in flower later in the year

Gotta love GC - the best online community by far

 

I'm not doing to well so far - the wee fella has yellowing leaves (one dropped off), so is trying to tell me something I am sure. I have given it a wee feed, and watered it of course, but it just doesn't look 'happy' if you know what I mean?

I am going to move the wee fella on to a slightly bigger pot tomorrow, but I am wondering if there is something I am missing? Could it be that it is too warm in its current location (sunny windowsill in a centrally heated room)?

 

No aphids that I know of, although will check tomorrow. There are a couple of new leaves at the top, so its not dying altogether - suppose it could be a touch of paranoia as I haven't had one before.

 

Been with me 14 days tomorrow, so no changes in the past few days.

 

I haven't repotted yet @joolz68 - thought I would let the wee chappie find his feet first. I will be up to my armpits in compost tomorrow moving loads of stuff on, so will repot tomorrow

 

I worry about all my wee babies though - especially until I get them to the stage where they are unleashed into the garden.

 

Good call @jooz68 - I had a right good look earlier whilst the sun was really bright, and there are a few wee red mites scurrying about on the leaves; in the absence of provado nowadays, what is the treatment to get shot of them?

PS - looks happier in the bigger pot too.

 

Is that just wiped onto the leaves?
