    Hi all,

    Please advise me on the problem with my newish addition to my garden.
    I bought a Brugmansia from the Garden centre about 2 months ago.
    I was doing fine, but about 3 weeks ago it started to get little round spots on one of the leaves.
    I decided to put it outside (it was previously inside, I was waiting for May).
    I have been putting it in the front of my little greenhouse at night and wet and windy days, but leaving it out on sunny days.
    I water it once a day and have been feeding it once a week with all purpose Miracle grow for the last 2 weeks (to try and iradicate the problem).
    It looks like a fungus on the original probelm. But now some of the other leaves are going white. This has been in the last couple of days.

    Can I rescue it, or should I give up and use the pot for something else??

    Cheers

    Wiind and sun burn and probably cold as well, they need nurturing at that size.
    I would keep it inside untill it is at least twice the size.

    Walnut should be able to advise you more on Brugs.

    Bashy I agree with Strongy keep it out of strong sun and especially if the leaves are wet and allthough they like water don't let them stand in it,leave the watering and feeding for a few days keep it out of direct sun especially in th greenhouse some new leaves should start to develope the others will fall off.
