angel trumpet plant


Question
I bought the plant from an individual at a garden sale last September.  Looked healthy, large leaves.  When I brought it inside for the winter, it dropped all of its leaves. Started regrowing leaves, they would get about 1 1/2 inches curl %26 drop off.  Found bugs, sprayed.  Now no bugs, but the leaves still drop when they get a couple of inches long.  Plant is about 3 feet tall in a 2 gallon pot.  Any suggestions?

Answer
Hi Mary,  You do need to keep them sprayed as it sounds like the plant is taking a lot of stress.  You probably need to move it into a bigger pot.  Mine in three gallon pots I water every day.  Make sure they are not sitting in a bowl of water as they need good drainage.  So if you have a saucer underneath empty it after 15 minutes.  The leaves are falling off from lack of water, then you water and they come back on and so on and so on.  kathy
