  All good points. And I do agree with you the spiders web and variegated Fatsia side by side lessen the impact of either plant. That canna at the end is really nice though, I have not seen that one here in the US. I think the next variegated plant to get is a Trachy - if you can find one.

• 
  @tikitropicals653 күн бұрын

  Cheers. The annoying thing is I had chance to buy a variegated Trachy about maybe 8 years ago for £120 and I didn’t buy it as it was only about a foot high. Big mistake. A garden you can visit near London has one that I see last year that has been planted out for many years. I didn’t actually like it but I still wanted it. 😂

  Here in Poland, I have successfully overwintered Colocasia 'Pink China' twice and Colocasia gigantea once. Plants were mulched with approx. 30 cm layer of pine needles, wood chips and their own leaves. Probably such measures were unnessesary in case of 'Pink China' because in the spring some of its pups emerged just next to the mound that was intended to protect it. The lowest temp during that time was about -12°C, during week-long non-stop frost. My Musella and Musa basjoo experienced the same conditions and also survived. Love your videos, keep posting!

  A wide range of plants can do well in pots but they would require watering and feeding more unless arid plants. Palms like Chamaerops Humilis and Cordylines give evergreen colour. Mediterranean plants like lavenders would be fine. Honestly the list is huge it just depends on how much care or protection you can give them.

  @@tikitropicals65 right I didn’t think of it like that but would be interesting topic to trial an keep viewers coming back for content on your channel seeing as you do have some of your own hybrids and see if any of your strains do tend to resist the virus. Just a thought obviously I like your content anyway as do others and a lot of gardeners an even KZreadrs have had to hesitantly remove them due to Canna virus 🦠.

• 
  @tikitropicals659 күн бұрын

  So just to clarify that if a virused canna produces seed it’s thought to be unlikely that the virus passes through to the seedlings. As the plant grows it can get the virus if transmitted by pests like aphids. Growing from seed doesn’t make the Canna immune to getting it at a later date. I don’t have any cannas showing signs of virus so it would be hard to do a test unless you had a virused species canna that produced seed then grew the seedlings on. I would assuming large Canna nurseries and universities have tested in the past. Cheers.
