How to prune angel's trumpet hybrid

Early spring before new growth; or autumn before overwintering container plants. Cut older stems back to ½ in above a node to trigger branching. Allow the plant to develop its first Y-junction before pruning — then keep 6–10 nodes above each Y. Hard pruning to within 30 cm of the base is possible but delays blooming by a season.

Annually; light trimming throughout the season encourages repeat bloom. Brugmansia × candida tolerates hard pruning and responds with vigorous flowering on new wood. Prune in early spring, cutting older branches back to half an inch above a node to stimulate branching. Container plants can be cut back close to the base before being overwintered indoors. All parts are highly toxic — always wear gloves.
