Brugmansia Specialist: GREEN24 Angel's Trumpet Fertiliser

Angel's Trumpets (Brugmansia) belong to the nightshade family (Solanaceae) and are known as extremely heavy-feeding container plants. To cope with their gigantic cascading blossoms and rapid growth, they require an exceptionally high and precisely balanced supply of nutrients. Our special fertiliser has been specifically developed for these "hungry" divas and takes into account their unique physiological characteristics. The scientifically based formula maximises flowering, intensifies the fragrance and promotes exceptionally robust plant health.

The Science of Angel's Trumpet Nutrition

The Special Fertiliser Formula "Blossom Explosion"

As heavy feeders, Angel's Trumpets have extreme nutritional requirements that differ significantly from other container plants:

• High nitrogen (N) for massive growth: A high nitrogen content is the basis for the rapid growth of shoots and large, healthy leaves. Angel's Trumpets can grow several metres in one season and require a continuous nitrogen supply for this.
• Very high phosphorus (P) for abundant flowering: Phosphorus is the decisive factor for the formation of countless flower buds. Our formula is highly phosphorus-based to guarantee one flower after another and promote the characteristic cascading blossoms.
• High potassium (K) for stability and maturity: Potassium strengthens the cell walls, ensures the necessary stability of the shoots and is essential for the maturation of the flowers and general plant health. It also regulates the water balance in water-loving Angel's Trumpets.
• Calcium for cell stability: As an important building block of cell walls, calcium is essential for a stable plant structure that can bear the weight of large flowers.
• Trace elements for metabolism: A complete spectrum of micronutrients such as iron, magnesium, zinc and manganese prevents deficiency symptoms and keeps the plant metabolism running at full speed.
• Magnesium for intensive photosynthesis: As a central building block of chlorophyll, magnesium is essential for efficient photosynthesis and the production of energy needed for rapid growth.
• Sulphur for protein synthesis: Sulphur is an important building block for the formation of sulphur-containing amino acids, which contribute to protein formation and thus to plant health.
• Boron for flower and root development: Boron is essential for cell wall formation and thus for healthy plant development from root to flower.
• pH optimisation for nutrient availability: The formula is designed to support the optimal pH range for Angel's Trumpets (6.0-7.0) and thus ensure maximum nutrient availability.

Application: Professional Angel's Trumpet Fertilisation

Root fertilisation (main application)

For a continuous supply of nutrients and maximum blossom splendour

• Dosage: 1 to 2 caps (5-10ml) per 2.5 litres of watering solution
• Frequency: 2-3 times a week during the main growing season (May-August)
• Application: Water vigorously and penetratingly until the soil is completely saturated
• Timing: In the morning or evening, never in bright midday sun
• Special feature: Heavy feeders require frequent, intensive fertilisation
• Substrate: Suitable for all substrates - container plant soil, garden soil

Foliar fertilisation (supplementary application)

For rapid nutrient uptake in case of deficiency symptoms

• Dosage: 1 cap (5ml) per 3-5 litres of spray water
• Application: Spray finely on upper and lower leaf surfaces
• Frequency: As needed, especially when signs of nutrient deficiency appear
• Optimal times: Early morning or late evening in high humidity
• Additional benefit: Rapid correction of deficiency symptoms
• Particularly effective: During heat stress or after repotting

Care Instructions for Angel's Trumpet Cultivation

Optimal growing conditions

• Location: Sunny and warm, but sheltered from wind, ideal on patio or balcony
• Water: Extremely high water requirement, water morning and evening on hot days
• Substrate: High-quality, nutrient-rich container plant soil with good drainage
• pH value: Neutral to slightly acidic (6.0-7.0) for optimal nutrient uptake
• Temperature: Growth optimum at 18-25°C, not winter hardy
• Overwintering: Bright or dark at 5-12°C, bring indoors before first frost

Variety-specific application

• Brugmansia suaveolens (White Angel's Trumpet): Normal dosage for white, fragrant flowers
• Brugmansia aurea (Golden Angel's Trumpet): Intensive fertilisation for yellow giant flowers
• Brugmansia versicolor (Coloured Angel's Trumpet): Balanced fertilisation for coloured flowers

Troubleshooting for Angel's Trumpet Cultivation

Common problems and their solutions

• Yellow leaves: Usually nitrogen deficiency or water shortage → Intensify fertilisation and water more
• No or few flowers: Often phosphorus deficiency or insufficient light → Use phosphorus-based fertiliser and check location
• Small flowers: Nutrient deficiency or water stress → Intensive fertilisation and regular watering
• Weak growth: Usually nitrogen deficiency → Nitrogen-based fertilisation
• Pest infestation: Spider mites, whitefly → Regular checks and treatment
• Wilting shoots: Water shortage or root problems → Check watering behaviour

Optimisation strategies

• Promote flowering: Phosphorus-rich fertilisation from early summer
• Strengthen growth: Nitrogen-based fertilisation in spring
• Intensify fragrance: Balanced trace element supply
• Promote health: Preventive fertilisation and optimal site conditions
• Prepare for overwintering: Stop fertilisation in time

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How often do I have to fertilise my Angel's Trumpet?

During the main growing season from May to August, you should fertilise your Angel's Trumpet 2-3 times a week. They are extreme heavy feeders and require continuous, intensive nutrient supply for their abundant flowering.

My Angel's Trumpet is not flowering, what can I do?

The most common cause is a lack of nutrients, especially phosphorus. Use our phosphorus-based special fertiliser and make sure the plant gets enough sun. Too little water can also prevent flowering.

Can I also use the fertiliser for Datura (Thorn Apple)?

Yes, the fertiliser is also ideal for Datura species, as they belong to the same family and have similar nutrient requirements. For annual Datura species, you can reduce the dosage slightly.

Why are the leaves of my Angel's Trumpet turning yellow?

Yellow leaves are usually a sign of nitrogen deficiency or water shortage. Angel's Trumpets have very high water and nutrient requirements. Intensify fertilisation and water more frequently, especially on hot days.

When do I stop fertilising?

Stop fertilisation from September onwards to prepare the plant for winter dormancy. Late fertilisation can affect winter hardiness and make moving to winter quarters more difficult.

Can I also use the fertiliser for other container plants?

The fertiliser is specially developed for heavy feeders and can also be used for other nutrient-hungry container plants such as oleander, hibiscus or fuchsias. For lighter feeders, you should reduce the dosage.

How do I recognise if my Angel's Trumpet is getting enough nutrients?

A well-supplied Angel's Trumpet shows vigorous growth, lush green leaves, continuous flower formation and intense fragrance. Deficiency symptoms are yellow leaves, weak growth, small or missing flowers.

Is the fertiliser also suitable for young Angel's Trumpets?

Yes, but start with half the dosage for young plants and increase gradually. Young Angel's Trumpets are more sensitive to over-fertilisation, but still need good nutrient supply for healthy growth.
