Angel Trumpet plant


Question
We've moved into a home that has an Angel Trumpet and it hasn't bloomed in the last 2 years we've been here and now it is losing leaves like crazy.  It gets alot of sun and water.  We've also fertilized it with Miracle Grow, but  the leaves keep turning yellow and falling off.  HELP!!!

Answer
Hi Debbie, usually Brugmansias (or Daturas..) are pretty problem free, I am thinking that they may need a dose of Epsom Salt, (Magnesium Sulfate), they seem to need this to prosper; back off the watering a little, maybe twice a week (once a month hit with 1 tablespoon of Epsom salt to a gallon of water). I can't think of anything else that would cause this except something getting into the soil around the plant.
