Angel's Trumpet Loses Leaves Repeatedly: Aphids and Neem Oil

Likely Cause

Cyclical leaf loss on Brugmansia suggests aphids sucking leaves, causing them to drop. Pure Neem Oil spray (organic, persistent) controls aphids and breaks the cycle.

Future Option

Atomic Grow (upcoming) claims to clean plants and stimulate growth, potentially replacing Neem.
