Default brugmansia Question???

Last fall I took many cuttings from my brug and they have since rooted and are growing in pots .I dug the main plant up from the yard ,trimmed off the leaves and put it in my cellar that is about 5 celsius and in the dark and damp(too damp for bananas)It is still green and has little leaves growing just waiting for spring,anyways my question is will the cuttings I have taken flower first season as new plants or do I have to wait.Thanks for your responses!!!

I'd bet that they do flower this year. Just give them time and fertize.... Lots of times cuttings retain whatever compounds caused flowering in the adult plant and are well on their way to flowering after their established. Plumerias for example are like that, often flowering the first year after the cutting is taken and then skipping the next year.

It depends if you took cuttings above the Y. Brugs only flower above any branch that forms a Y. If you took a cutting below a Y, or from one that didn't Y, it will flower after it forms a Y on branch which will be this summer.
Don't let that soil dry out too much on those potted dormant ones

Another thing I'm trying this year.... A lady in Indianapolis(one of my customers), zone 5 too like I am, she left hers out last year in the ground, but she mulched it with bags of leaves just like you do with the basjoo banana. It came back from just above the ground. So I'm trying that this year so I will report next spring if it works here too. We are more like 5a than Indianapolis area is. It's just a little bit warmer usually there.
I tried mulching a naranjilla this year like that, just because I felt sorry for it. I wasn't about to dig up that thorny 7 foot tall monster again this year. I had others already in pots I could overwinter. I thought it was better than nothing!
Basically, if the part of the brug that you cut off bloomed last year, it will bloom this year. If it wasn't mature enough, it will not bloom until it forms a Y. If it's a straight stick but you cut it off the blooming part above the Y, it will bloom. I have two blooming in the greenhouse today-- a versicolor peach variegated, and an Inca sun. My Cherub pink is dogging me out and not blooming yet, but it's sitting on the floor and the roots are colder there.
