I was doing a Google search on Brugmansia stumps and found your post. I really hope you will see my post because I am in desperate need of help with my brugmansia.
Is there any hope of this poor Brug growing back? It suffered a drought this past summer, attacked by something that looked like sacs (tonight I realized it was spider mites) and then two hard freezes. It was mistakenly cut all the way down to the stump and then removed from the ground. I was able to get it replanted in enough time to save the last remaining stem that had grown. The black dot shown on the stump is long hollow hole, which I'm guessing was caused by rot. Thankfully I was able to save the one remaining stem after the tree was replanted and trimmed a bit from the stem to try and grow some roots. I also placed some mulch around the trunk...not sure if it will help it or not. The last pics show how it appeared 3 years ago and then last year.

I hope that stump start grows for you. Unfortunatley im not able to give any advice, i havent grown these before.
I did sow some brugmansia sanguniea seeds a month or 2 ago but sadly nothing did sprout. I might have a few seeds left and if so im going to try the wet paper towel on heatmat tec to try germinate them. I love the looks of these plants, they are so nice. I saw a Brugmansia when i was in Lissabon about a month ago.
  
That is some nice trumpets.

I water my brugmansias heavily/often, feed often, and cover the stumps in pipe insulation before we get hard freezes. Some plants are surprising resilient. Best you can do it keep it watered, fed, and pest free for now.

What do you feed yours with? Also what do you use for pesticide? I tried Rite Green 8-6-6 and it burned part of the trunk pretty bad. I didn't know until it was too late that fertilizer can't be applied directly to the plant.

I've never had to put pesticides on my brugmansia's when does I'll use neem oil, BT, and/or insecticidal soap.
This year I've fed them with all kinds of stuff..basically cleaned out the bins I store nutrients. Mostly organic but also some ancient synthetic fertilizers. Concentrated fertilizers can/will burn plants if used in excess especially if it's granulars sitting on the stump.
After you burned it did you water the stump/ground really good to try and dilute it?
I'd start with a diluted mixture or top dressing of organic fertilizer or better yet some compost tea.

Looks like you took a nice cutting from her. If you used a little clone dip and a Rockwell cube you could get her to root before putting into dirt. I'd love to be able to keep mine outdoor all year.
That was a beautiful plant! My buddy says brugs are one of the easiest to clone which is basically what you have done. I'd say keep the soil moist for awhile until you see new growth, then keep her watered like a normal pant. Brugs love a rich soil and lots of light. Intense light should be avoided while she is rooting. Look up how to build super soil. My brug loved it but not really necessary. Hope that helps a little. Looks like you got a few good replies already.

Just recently quelled a spider mite invasion of epic proportions. I’m worried because the plant still seems to be struggling and stressed. It’s a B. Vulcanicola. Is there anything. I should do? I was thinking some veg. focused fert and/or micro nutrient fert. In this case Fox Farm Hydroponic ferts. It lost at least 1/5th of its total leaf mass. I’ve plucked all the worst looking leaves.

Snakeeye mulching will help retain soil water and break down slowly for nutrition.
Pinktarantula make sure all spider mites are dead, it's amazing how a few small bugs can drastically effect a plant. Brugs like to be fed so as long as you don't burn them by pouring on concentrate it will appreciate nutes with watering.

I think this needs to be bumped back up, and we most definitely need an official Datura growers thread too

Good thing I decided not to put my " Mother" Brug in the ground.
It went from the the 70's and mid 80's for highs just a couple of days ago, back down to freezing last night with highs in the 40's right now.
I put all five of my Brug cuttings in the ground the other day, and this morning, they are frozen solid.
I don't know if they can recover from this, and it makes me sick

damn, i hope they come back from the roots. It briefly got to 32 here but nothing looks damaged. my brugs root systems survived below 20f this winter and they're all coming back fine, but those are developed root systems.

Yeah, these were cuttings from my big Mother.
Some weren't even phased, it seems, but the others have leaves that turned to mush.
I'll leave em be, and see what happens.
