    HELLO THERE from Jackson, Tennessee, U.S.A. in west Tennessee in the southern US in Zone 7b. I attempt to grow a tropical garden here in my home garden. I have had around 30-different varieties of Colocasias but due to a severe and death defining cancer diagnosis and subsequent surgery in March of 2023 that left me crippled and handicapped, I am and have not been able to properly care for them and lost many varieties during my illness, extreme weight loss, chemo therapy and massive surgery. I am beginning to try to garden again, though the surgery robbed my using my right leg normally without a full leg brace and on a walker for the rest of my life. But gardening has saved my life. Love this video and thank you for sharing.

    Nice collection. The Diamond head should get black glossy leaves as it matures and is exposed to sun. Black Marble can be a bit fussy. A good tip with Colocasia is to leave a watering can full in the greenhouse every day and water with that. The hose can dramatically lower the soil temps and Colocasia are stimulated by soil temps.

    Hugely so! Always a difficult one trying to grow palms in the UK if you’re not down there. I’ve planted the main two in raised borders which are south facing so hopefully giving them some chance in my location. Think I’m going to have to properly protect them this winter though!

  • @user-jd9uh5ph2b

    You're always going to be pushing your luck with these outside over winter, especially if they're in pots and even more so if they're small palms in small pots - something as simple as a cover from a sheet of greenhouse plastic on 4 stakes to stick the pots underneath makes a big difference. For palms in big tubs & raised beds: I don't like ramming stakes through the roots so when repotting or planting out cut some lengths of scaffold pole, put a plastic caps on the ends and bury them with the tops showing. Come winter, uncap the tops, slide wooden stakes in and fix a sheet of greenhouse plastic to the stakes. Yes you'll probably need bricks to stop it blowing away and probably guyropes to stop containers being blown over and yes it's not visually very attractive but it's all part of the fun of keeping them alive.

    Definitely! Especially in our climate! Shame there aren’t more really hardy ones we can grow! Good shout on the covering. I think I’m going to leave the trachys to do their thing this winter. For the brahea in the pot I’ll pull it undercover once I get the pergola built. I think I’m going to put the stakes in the ground on the outside of the metal circular planters which shouldn’t disturb the roots and maybe go for the polycarbonate sheeting. Perhaps put some covers around the trunks and take it off on the warmer days to help with the airflow.

    Those raised steel ring planters look suspect to me. On the last video it looked logged. How are they fastened together is it joined all the way round or is there a gap? Like is it welded shut at the join? If there's no gaps i can't see how it would drain any better than the ground. In fact id say it could be worse. Raised sleeper need have gaps where water escapes wereas that it looks like the water can only go down into the ground. Then when its getting really logged it freezes easily as its raised up way more than it needs to be. Id dig into now and see how wet it is because the butyagrus won't stand a chance if its set up the way i think it is

  • @TropicalGardenUK
    @TropicalGardenUK29 күн бұрын

    Hi mate, appreciate the info. They have no bottom so being raised up a meter you would assume it would drain better than being ground level? They’re welded all the way round but that could be a good idea on drilling some holes around the side to help the water escape. I’ll have another dig and see how it’s doing. I tested it with the hose pipe after adding more grit and seemed to drain well but will check again.

  • @PalmGeezer
    @PalmGeezer29 күн бұрын

    @TropicalGardenUK if its sealed all the way round it can only go down into the ground and drain as fast as the ground below it id imagine wich would be slow in a wet winter. Then you'd be more exposed to freezing right through as the roots aren't protected under ground. If you drilled holes in near the bottom for excess water to escape it would be better but still if they keep failing in there it must say something. Those brown leaves dont look like frost burn to me but an issue with roots. Try one in a sleeper raised bed just 6inches high. Just enough so thats its not on the wet ground. Roots are still protected underground and the small raised area can drain faster and dry quicker than the ground. Those big raised rings are like huge pots sat embedded in grass where the drainage holes are semi blocked. No good in my opinion. Raised sleepers with gaps. Raised rockery etc is the way to go

    I have one of these palm. Got this from Nigel last year. Mines in an 80lire pot and had pushed out new growth since last year and even grew through winter

    Hi, You've got some beautiful plants. Glad you managed to purchase some from the plant fare. I've never heard of them but that's how I learn from you gents/ladies who are interested in these tropical plants. Thanks for posting and keep up with the great work 🌱🪴🌴

    Thanks for the interest Julie! It was a bit of a trek!! 10 hours in the car in total. I was surprised at how manic the start was to be honest but happy with what I was able to grab. A lot of new additions for the garden 👍👍

    10hours drive, omg you are a die hard tropical plant addict. I admire your determination. Thankyou for your support as I'm still learning. I purchased a TRex and the slugs are eating it. Ive put coir matting around the stem to stop them but they are still eating the leaves. Should I dig it up and put in a pot or leave it to grow taller then eventually they may leave it alone. 🌴🪴🌱

    @@juliebrace8637 probably a bit mad!! I’d probably leave it where it is at the moment. It may be worth going out there on the evening/early morning if you can and picking the things off manually. It should grow pretty quickly and overcome any slug damage. The other option is set up a couple of beer traps around the garden and that may help catch some of them!! They are frustrating!

    Beautiful butyagrus there. Wouldn’t mind sourcing one myself. My butia odorata has got through winter but the tips are browning slightly which I wondered may be due to poor drainage as well. Hope this palm does well for you there. Subbed as well👌

    Thank you! I purchased mine from Nigel at Hardy Palms. I believe he may be selling some more in the near future so worth keeping an eye out on the website or facebook group! Glad to hear your butia has got through the winter - did you protect yours? Thanks for the sub
