Plant Care & Growing Tips

Proper angel’s trumpet plant care is crucial for ensuring a healthy and vigorously blooming pink angel’s trumpet tree. These plants thrive in conditions that mimic their native tropical environments. They generally prefer a location with full sun to partial shade. In hotter climates, some afternoon shade can protect the foliage from scorching, while in cooler regions, full sun encourages the most prolific blooming. Aim for at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth and flower production. Consistent watering is essential, especially during warm weather and when the plant is actively growing. The soil should be kept consistently moist but never waterlogged. During dry spells, you may need to water daily, particularly if your plant is in a container.

The ideal soil for a pink angel’s trumpet tree is rich, well-draining, and slightly acidic to neutral. A good quality potting mix amended with compost works well for container plants. For in-ground planting, ensure the soil has good drainage to prevent root rot. Brugmansia are heavy feeders, so regular fertilization is vital for abundant blooms. Use a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring through fall). Reducing fertilization in late fall and winter is recommended. These plants are sensitive to cold and thrive in warm temperatures. They are typically hardy in USDA zones 9-11. In colder zones, they should be grown in containers and brought indoors before the first frost. Pruning can be done to maintain shape, encourage bushier growth, and increase flowering. Remove any dead or damaged branches and prune to shape after a flush of blooms. Watch out for common pests like spider mites and whiteflies, which can be managed with insecticidal soap.
