Put it in the shade and plenty of water. It will be dramatic and drop some leaves at first, but it will get new ones and look good again quickly!

I would not attempt to go more than 40 feet in sand. If you use a recirculating pool with chemicals, you could probably go deeper but it would be more involved

Thank you!!!

Thank you!!!

Thank you!

@@thecarringtonjungle4933 you're welcome my friend

Thank you!! Want to get some siam ruby next!

@@thecarringtonjungle4933 yessir, the Siam Ruby is a must have. Peace N Love

Haha! Yes!

Thank you!! The yard is a family project!

You can and I occasionally can get that part to root, but the stiff woody branches have a much higher success rate. Good luck!

I didn't do anything, just tried to move quick to keep it loose. If you take a break, it will but at least in my florida ground, it stayed fine for long enough

Thanks!

What part of florida are you from?

The leaves that get droopy usually die but it will get new ones as it grows roots! Keep it in the shade for a while

Thanks so much! We are located in sarasota, about an hour south of Tampa. Zone 9b so a bit different than yours. What type of plants are you growing up there?

@@thecarringtonjungle4933 thanks nice to know where you are. I grow several varieties of bananas, cannas, canna musafolia, heliconias, all sorts of alicosias and colocasias, large collection of bromeliads, Chinese fan palms, pindos, Mexican fan palms, cat palms, lady palms. I also have a large shaded area where from March to November I can bring outside various tropical plants most people grow inside but I like them outside and they enjoy it as well

We leave them in the ground. The large ones take the cold well, but any frost burns the leaves but doesn't kill them, just makes them ugly. We trim it off and they throw new ones in the spring. We are in 9b

@@thecarringtonjungle4933 which type of heliconias do you have?

Thanks so much! Hope it helps

Thank you! We are in sarasota, so a couple hours south of you, same coast! Other than the heliconias, everything we have wants the shade and is super easy in Florida. And we definitely will let you know if we get some bamboo for sale. All of ours came from tropical bamboo which is in the south of the state. They ship it and all of our are 3 years old or less. Very affordable! But if you have the time, it's worth driving down there to see their place. It's beautiful and you can see all the bamboos in there full size!

@@thecarringtonjungle4933 Thank you for your response! Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hopefully in the future. Just trying to figure it all out now. All of ours are from tropical bamboo and are between 1 and 3 years old if you are looking to get some soon

Thanks so much! If you have any questions or need any advice, let me know. It takes some planning but is definitely not as hard as it seems!

You did a great job! I believe this is definitely the route l will take soon...

It's ornamental, can get them in lime green and purple at most garden centers

Thank you!

Each one will form a bush with its own branches. I usually pot up 2 or 3 together to create a fuller bigger bush quickly

@@thecarringtonjungle4933 thx. I just gave it a shot yesterday. I hope I have your success.

​@@nickorlando8261how has it been? I want to try this. Already propagated a whole bunch, but want to know how far apart you spaced them and if 3 in each hole gave you the perfect bushy privacy.

@@juleyl.5266 I did exactly what you did. I planted 3/4 cuttings together. Then planted 5 pots about 1.5” apart. They look great.

@@nickorlando8261 nice! Thanks for the quick reply. 🙂👍

I pretty much quit using it. I still have some and will try again in the spring, but for my garden and what I am doing, I dont see much of a difference

Let me know how it works for you!

Thank you so much!! They are called heliconia latispatha x bihai "fat lat" we got them on the website plantgrouphawaii.com

@@thecarringtonjungle4933 thanks so much for sharing that information I’ll be watching to see how your garden progresses

Thanks! I will have to try that

Thank you! They do stay outside. The frost beats them up but they come back. And it's only 2 1/2 years old. Will be much better in another year or two

Thank you so much! We are on the West coast of Florida, zone 9b. And the site is plantgrouphawaii.com. there is another site called aloha tropicals which had some really cool stuff but I have not ordered through them yet. Good luck!!
