Good video thanks.... Did you keep them very dry in winter or did you keep them damp? I am in South Africa in summer rain area with hot temperatures and winter very dry but warm days and cold nights in winter. I have Bletilla striata bulbs but don't know how to care for them in winter. Your advice is appreciated.
@greenmachinesweden6 күн бұрын
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.

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?😃👍
@gayefanner731Ай бұрын
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 ?! ✌️
@gayefanner731Ай бұрын
I’ve just remembered, the KPs I knew were grown from seed, maybe that’s your way forward? I will look though ✌️
@greenmachineswedenАй бұрын
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.
@gayefanner731Ай бұрын
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..🥹
@a2shadowАй бұрын
I live in Uppsala (zone 7a). I have a norther balcony. I do not think the tree will be happy if I leave it in that balcony during the winter. I am thinking as soon as the temperature get to 0 or a bit below zero I bring the tree indoor and keep it next to my south facing window or under growth light. Is it something that you think would keep the tree reasonably happy?
@greenmachineswedenАй бұрын
No, sorry. Trees lives with the season. A dormant tree must stay dormant. Breaking dormancy will stress and kill it.

This was an awesome video of an amazingly neat and beautiful garden. at 9:30 you had a carnivor plant on the outside table. Do you have more information about that where I could read/watch?
@greenmachineswedenАй бұрын
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 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.

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.
