How to protect indoor flower from diseases and pests
Prevention against spider mites is simple - more often take the plant to the balcony or ventilate. Spider mite is bred in dry, stagnant air. If, however, the parasite has appeared, use insecticides or the folk method - tobacco tincture or soap solution. With painful manifestations in the form of plaque white or gray, the plant must be treated with a fungicide ("Kvadris", "Maxim", "Topaz", "Vectra"). The number of procedures will depend on how infected it is. Sick parts of Brugmansia need to be removed, the plant should be removed away from other plants for the duration of the treatment. Preventive measures against diseases: at low temperatures, reduce the amount of water, water the plant with water at room temperature or warm, do not fall on the leaves when spraying, moisten the air if it is too dry, and more often take it out to fresh air.

The temperature of the content - 13-15 degrees, then you can move to an even less heated room. For the maintenance of Brugmans, a veranda, a staircase, a warm garage are suitable. In winter, watered only when necessary, do not add dressings.
There is no need to stimulate the growth of shoots: they stretch too much. Brugmansia in winter should be in relatively cold conditions at home, it will continue to develop and bloom in the warmth, without a period of rest will spend too much energy. 
As a result, the plant will grow weak and non-viable, not capable of flowering shoots. At the end of the article I would like to give a little advice: do not put the plant in bedrooms. Too much odor can cause insomnia and headache. Transplantation and pruning procedures are best performed with gloves; plant juice can cause irritation.
