Acclimating/Hardening Off Colocasia, Caladiums & Ensete Maurelii - Garden Update 🌴🌺

[@Nates38487]

How beautiful your garden is i really admire you for having that passion n to spend hours n hours taking care of your plants the inside plants are gorgeous too i can imagine how tired you must be by the end of the day cuz it is alot of work you do there but im sure its worth it at the end. hopefully next time we can see marvin i love seeing him he is so adorable and so is the other one sorry i forgot his name🤔 thank you,

[@Ysai0813]

So beautiful garden.

Beautiful garden ❤️.

I love your tropical garden, inspiring 😍

beautiful , beautiful garden and its not yet in full bloom

[@paulwilson8021]

You have done such a great job with your garden, it really is inspirational! I find with Sago Palms that if you put them in a greenhouse or a bright window throughout the Spring and water generously they will always put out new fronds👍. Brugmansia Charles Grimaldi would look great in your little paradise! Really informative videos too. Thanks for sharing!

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

Thanks very much! 🧡 Oh I’d love to do that with my sago but unfortunately I don’t have a greenhouse or any space for it in the house (already have around 150 houseplants 😆🌴) 🌺

Despite the weather, the garden is looking great!

[@hollyhasegawa6095]

Beautiful Hannah, we have a lot of wind here in Idaho, and so many plants really get banged around, and it is always a challenge to find just the right spot for a favorite plant, so far all of mine have been surviving the crazy winds. I always enjoy seeing your beautiful garden, it gives me such tropical vibes. I guess when I get my sunroom I will make a corner that has a small tiki bar area and put a lot of my larger plants in there and probably will get some more large plants. Take care, sending love and hugs, bye for now.

[@mayarada2059]

Nice one , beautiful plants

[@familhagaudir8561]

Your big leaves Caladium varieties are so nice. Couldn't find one as pretty this year, but I got one with medium/small leaves anyway to get some experience with them. Thanks for showing those extremely colorful ones. I didn't know they could be so gorgeous under grow lights. I'm always scared mine burns if I forget to pull it away from the window when the afternoon Sun shines through it hard for a few hours. Rest of the day the light isn't great unless it's right in the window frame.

Super nice. Thanks.

Hiya Hannah looking fantastic

[@marianwolff8322]

Wow. Stunning. I like gunnera, but they are too big for my garden, so I grow rhubarb and that gives me a gunnera vibe

[@retrocynical5209]

Love your videos and what a stunning garden!

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

Thanks so much! I can’t wait to make it lovely and tropical again over the next few months 💚🌺🌴

[@retrocynical5209]

@@TropicalPlantAddict It looks lovely now, can't wait to see it in the height of summer.

[@brendapowis2050]

I tried to over winter my ensete by dry storing in brown paper. It look terrible when I retrieved it from the bag. The bag had little black spiders on it. I tried putting it in some moist compost and perlite, no life after three weeks. I've sadly discarded it and will grow a new one thus year. Weather has been terrible. I've not planted out my crocosmia and it's probably too late now. Your garden looks fab.

So beautiful sharing

[@deborahlee1072]

Oh your beautiful Gunnera! What a shame😢! Oh well, more space for exciting new plans. Your garden also looks fabulous 🤩. Did you just need to mulch over your cannas through winter? I’ve just put my Durban’s and Cleopatras out to harden off.

[@EL-te5om]

I feel your pain about ordering plants that aren't what they turn out to be, I bought a Caladium Frog in a Blender from FG which I have been wanting for ages, after seven weeks it sadly turned out to be a different Caladium so I am quite frustrated about that but yours looks amazing, I will have to try again next year🙄👍🌴

[@dzawona]

I’m happy to buy your MUSA SIKKIMENSIS😁 I’ve been looking fo her for very long time now. I live in Poole so could do collection😬

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

Hi there somebody else has already asked me, if I do sell and they don’t want it you are next on my list ☺️🌿💚🌴

Frog in a blender 😍😍😍

[@chinneliyachineli9330]

Hello, your garden tours always cheer me up especially during this long uk winter. I too have a Gunnera Tinctoria in a 40cm pot and am torn between keeping it and discarding it as I really love the plant. May I ask, after obtaining permission, how did you burn it? Did you light a bonfire or use an incinerator? Apologies if this is a silly question. I just don't know what to do.

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

I used a metal bin to burn it, also had some wood in there 🌿

[@chinneliyachineli9330]

@@TropicalPlantAddict Thank you for responding 🙂 My Gunnera seems to be the only plant growing at the moment with all this rain. I will keep for 2021 then see I feel next year. Many thanks🌴

[@deborahlee1072]

Oh your beautiful Gunnera 😢. Such a shame. Oh well, more space for exciting new plans. Your space always looks fabulous 🤩. Did you only need to mulch the cannas over winter? I’ve just put my Durbans and Cleopatras out to harden off in their pots.

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

I know it’s a shame but also kind of annoying because when I purchased it, the plant was labelled as manicata (which you can sell/give away if it gets too big unlike the Tinctoria). Yes I just mulch over my cannas for winter 🌿💚

[@keithpugh7538]

I’ve been looking for a Hot Pink Bottle brush tree every since I saw your video. The red one is pretty also

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

Thanks I got my pink one from Turn it Tropical, can’t wait to see it flower again! 🌺💚🌴

Sorry if you've already answered this - do you de-eye your caladiums? Their leaves are massive already! Thanks

Hi there no I don’t 🌺🌿💚🌴

Maybe try a a small pond?

Off topic question but where did you get that bicardi beer mat? Would love one in my bar

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

Thanks! I’m sure I got it from a website called man cave 😆🌴🌺

[@marmac567]

Did you dry store the ensete? I kept mine indoors all winter,, it loved it! Its now massive, it put out a new huge leaf every ten days. Im gonna have fun trying to get it back in garden soon.

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

Yes I dry store mine. The first year I left in the living room but it grew massive and they are prone to spider mites so I prefer to chop back and dry store 🌿 I have a few videos on how I overwinter my garden plants (in tropical garden playlist)

Beautiful garden and great info. How do you look after your colocoasia pink China? I had one and it just did not do well and died. Do they like sun, dry, wet etc please? x

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

Mine are in sunny position but under-planted so they get dappled sun. I heard that they like damp conditions but I just water mine with all the other plants. I just mulch over mine for winter 💚🌿
