This video is quite old and I have grown them several years now. When I had limited overwintering space I took the bulbs out, dried them for a few days and stored in almost dry peat moss at constant 5c. Sometimes one or two rotted. Now when I have more space I just put the whole pot in there. When roots is not disturbed it seems like they can handle slightly more moist. But in your area I would think planting them in the ground and leave them there would work. Summer heat may be a problem, so go for a 3/4 shaded spot. At my location full sun and heavy fertilize has shown to be best by trials. But again, I think sun is too strong at your location. Nowadays I have Bletillas growing in the ground in very sandy soil at my summer house down south where winter is mild for sweden, seldom colder than -10. They have survived for 3 years now, but never flowered.

@@greenmachinesweden thanks a lot for your tips😊. Happy gardening

Ohh, how kind, thanks! I am happy you enjoyed it.😀👍

Thanks Anders. Yes, I did not like the timing. So I think I was amongst the last ones to enter.😀👍

I saw you found the second video.😀👍

@@greenmachinesweden yes yours i found but i was thinking about all the others, only a few ever made an update, and back then the idear was so good and realy conected the channels and followers got to find new channels to follow, but maybe that was just me finding it so fun

@andersnrregren9087 I found it fun as well.

Oh, Gaye. During my study years I lived very close to the first ever IKEA store. Obviously rebuilt a few times but still "ground zero". Last years I found amazing kangaroo paws in IKEA. They did not survive winter and this year they are not to be found. Are there any in UK IKEA?😃👍

I’ll have a look. I’ve only been once before n with two girls under 5 it was a bit mind blowing! They seem to go often, it’s near their nursery, funny how they managed to miss the plants section! I wonder why?! Kangaroo Paw does overwinter down here, given a very sheltered position, but our climate is very influenced by the Gulf Stream, or should I say WAS ?! ✌️

I’ve just remembered, the KPs I knew were grown from seed, maybe that’s your way forward? I will look though ✌️

Yes, west coast Sweden where I am have the same climate as England, just slightly colder. Kind of like coastal parts of Scotland I guess. I think the issue with overwintering KP is wet and soggy most of the winter, not temperature.

Actually Devon/Cornwall is a lot further south and west than it appears on maps, seen on the globe it can be appreciated properly. But yes, winter wet is often the killer wherever you are in the northern hemisphere I’d say. btw isn’t it wonderful to have Sam back after 11 months?! 🥰 I keep rewatching these precious new videos, dear man..🥹

No, sorry. Trees lives with the season. A dormant tree must stay dormant. Breaking dormancy will stress and kill it.

Thanks for watching and comenting. Means a lot to me. There is a video from when I created the miniature carnivore bog and one update video on my channel. In the start there were only small utricularias. Last authum I sowed some miniature Drosera capensis as well, which has established themselves quite well. I will take some time to document it before I put it in for winter. There will be a big Heliamphora care guide as well come winter.

Thanks Gil.😃👍

Thanks Richard. It "just" took me 17 years.🤣🤣

Thanks Jack. Busy is good. Keeps me happy. 😃👍

Thanks Jeff. Yes there are a few hours put into it. I enjoy every single one. It keeps me sane beeing busy.

@@greenmachinesweden i can relate my friend❤️🙏

Didn’t mean to send but I think I’ve said it all ! God bless you and all your future endeavours 🙏✝️. ✌️🇷🇺☮️🇺🇦✌️. 🙋‍♀️🤍🇮🇱✌️

Ohh, Gaye!! You of all would know. It was a lot of work but it was all worth it. Next year I will spend the day of the event visiting other gardens. Thanks for watching and your support Nonna.😃👍

So nice of you. I do not warship gods, but I know what it means to you and I really appreciate the comment.😃😉

Tack Sofie! 😃👍

Thanks Chris for all your support. I have not been able to show everything at once. There are always a mess at some place. But not at this moment. So happy to share it and so happy you liked it.😃👍

Thank you so much mate. It is not always like this, but it is a labour of love. 😃👍

@@greenmachinesweden Labour of love always feels less of a work, but there's no denying it; its a boatload of work to get where you are. Great work!

Thanks H!! Your mother was here on the day. So happy to see her. Come by yourself when you are in the area.😃👍

@@greenmachinesweden yeah i heard :) Was on the verge to write something less appropriate, like how you've been seeing my mother behind my back.. ;)

Man tackar. Jag använder mig av micro climate evo pro. Produkten försvann från marknaden många år sedan, men de har nya med wifi och grejor som alla produkter skall ha nuförtiden. Temperaturstyrning uppåt med värmematta på höger sida och luftfuktighet styrs nedåt på aktiv ventilation via en datorfläkt i toppen. Jag använder dusks regnsystem på sekundtimer ca 6-10 ggr per dag.

@@greenmachinesweden Tack så mycket för svar! Har kollat in dusk, de va så jag hittade till din sida 😊 ska spana in de andra sakerna å!

Thanks for your advice. Very much apreciated. Do you mean the trees in pots in the beginning or the inground grown ones? 🙂👍

Thanks for watching and comenting, very appreciated. Chinese elms can be found in almost any garden center. But TBH, most of them is crap and have very little bonsai quality. If you want fairly good trees, talk to Magnus at bonsai och trädgård. www.bonbonsai.se/ He makes imports every spring and I think he still have a few left. But I recomend a visit and to pick the prefered tree yourself instead of ordering by mail.

The choice of pot should be based on the trees that is going into it. For forests I like to think that the pot should be around the same size as the hight of the biggest tree in the group. I like dark unglaced pots for conifers. Brown never go wrong.

@@greenmachinesweden I thinking about 5-7 trees. They're around 2-5yo Can't decide if I should get an 18, 21, or 26 inch pot. I might just go with a 21 or 26 and let it grow from there

Growing trees out an increase pot size is Always an option. One just get too many unused pots in the end.

Thanks Chris! I kinda got out of koi related topics. My way of keeping koi is just not interesting for the broad koi pond audience. Working on a extensive vid on bog filter care, biology, benefits and drawbacks. Will be filmed during a full season and released come authum. The planned aquarium build has not happened yet, so much other things to do. But the fish is fine in the temporary tub and will be moved out this weekend. That will definetely be a video sooner or later.

@@greenmachinesweden I don't get many koi viewers but I know that going in.. I think I have a nice koi pond.. and your filtration is the best!!! And you know I love bog filtration

Thanks Richard.😀👍

Thanks Jack. 😀👍

Thanks Chip. Me too.😀👍

Thanks Chip. Me too.😀👍

Thanks Matt 🙂👍

Thanks a lot Koro. 🙂👍

I enjoyed this a-lot Magnus, you definitely have a green thumb!!👍🏻

Thanks Jeff. 🙂👍

Thanks mate.😀👍

Thanks Jack.😀👍

Ohh, about the time. I am so sorry. I did say closest win in the givaway vid. But since time constraints stoped me from doing it all as planned, I thought it would be more fair to give to everyone that guessed more. This also means I need to ship more packages longer distances. I hope you do not mind.

I get mine from bonsai och trädgård in Mölndal. I think they ship. Try to reach out to them. www.bonbonsai.se/

Thanks a lot for joining me on the premiere! I am glad you found a local. Go visit Jay one day, you may find bonsai another relaxing hobby that suits well for Canada as well.😀👍

You will get there given time. Thanks a lot for watching and comenting.😀👍

If you said northern Spain I would agree🤣. Up here we have them everywhere, so not many grow them as bonsai. However, a very sought after species in America and Australia both as garden tree as well as bonsai. Strange that we always look at the other side of the planet when some of the best species for bonsai is outside our doorsteps. Thanks for watching and comenting, very much appreciated.😀👍

Indeed. Looking forward for the years to come.😃👍

Thanks mate.😀👍
