Cannas: How to Plant Canna Rhizomes

[@stevebryan5779]

This person is great--gets right to the topic and explains it well. No info commercials, no fluff, no "beating around the bush"---wish all videos were like this one.

[@plantvibrations]

thank you steve, i value your feedback!

[@hemi1045]

I can only echo the same sentiment, we like "straight to the point" videos because life is short and there are cannas to plant.

[@heathpars210]

Love this video ! Quick and to the point!

[@plantvibrations]

Glad it was helpful!

[@carmenbailey1560]

I like that to get right to the point, thanks for the info 👍❤️😊

Thank you for the clear info, I learned a lot.

@@plantvibrations Just planted 20 cannas using your advice and can't wait for them to thrive and put on their show. Keep making content! 🙂

I have yellow and red Cana I love them I’ve been growing them for years and I always share them with friends thank you so much for sharing your talent👏🏼❤️

[@plantvibrations]

[@patferguson572]

Thanks a lot. I just got a canna rhizome, and now I know how to pot it!

Hi there, I’ve just planted 4 different cannas a week ago but I’m not sure how often I should water them? Your advice would be much appreciated!!

[@plantvibrations]

if you planted them from rhizomes you dont want to let it 100% dry out but not stay soppy wet either. its really dependent on the warmth of your climate at the time

[@TheEnthusiasticGardener]

@@plantvibrations thank you so much. I have them indoors on my windowsill so they are in a central heated house, and then I’ll put them outside about mid May once chance of last frost has passed. I keep sticking my finger into soil and it’s not dry but I haven’t watered since I planted on Sunday.

great easy to understand info.

thanks debra! im glad it was helpful

[@mapex311]

i dug up my cannas last fall before frost and put them in a peat moss box after drying them out. No rot that I can see. Can I just plant them in containers now and then transplant in the ground once last risk of frost is gone? (New England 5a). I plan on leaving them outside during the day and bring in the garage if there's risk of frost at night. How often do you water them?

[@plantvibrations]

Yes you can definitely do that. Bringing them inside when nights are below 50. Water upon planting and whenever you feel the top of the soil to be dry

[@mapex311]

@@plantvibrations Oh woops, last night was 45 and left them outside. Hopefully didn't damage them. Does it need to be above 50? Thought I read as long as there's no frost risk (32F).

[@plantvibrations]

@@mapex311 freshly planted rhizomes in wet soil will be more sensitive that fully rooted plants, particularly ones being grown in ground.

[@mapex311]

@@plantvibrations Ok Thank you!

[@mapex311]

@@plantvibrations I have the rhizomes planted in pots in the garage for the past 2 weeks. It's been pretty crappy here - around 50-60 max during day and 40's at night; a lot of raining dreary days. Still stays at least 50 in the garage though. On the nice days with sun I just wheel the wheelbarrow full of pots out. Supposed to be 70's next week. Should I be watering them? Will it take a long time for them to grow with the cooler weather and low light in the garage? Don't want them to start rotting.

[@lindaj7496]

Can you do a show about growing ginger from a ginger root bought at the grocery store? Ginger is a rhizome, right? Love your enthusiasm. Lots of good info.

[@plantvibrations]

sweet, Ill will get a ginger rhizome started to film in the coming weeks!

[@fsaforosaforo6338]

Great video...I just got a Tropicana Cana bulb with roots at the bottom..an new eye on the right side. Do you still plant it on it's side?

[@plantvibrations]

they're pretty resilient no matter which way you plant it. maybe if you plant it at an angle so the roots are in the soil and the eye is going upwards, that would be best. you just dont want parts of it planted too deeply bc it could rot. which is why side ways is generally best

[@Mike_Genisys]

What's a good pairing with cannas?

[@plantvibrations]

I love to pair them with Agapanthus or Tropical Hibiscus

[@Mike_Genisys]

@@plantvibrations I've been thinking about a Perennial Hibiscus and a Tree Lilly .. either way should be fun to see what works well. Thanks again!

[@paulsvejda1]

sounds good to me. Just planted some today and hope that they are not too deep

[@plantvibrations]

as long as its not like four inches below the soil then it should be fine!

[@analarkin2063]

Hi Devin, great video! Thanks for the easy-to-follow steps! I'm new to growing canna rhizomes. How do you harvest the rhizomes from an existing plant and what happens to the plant afterwards?

[@o000omusico000o]

its called bengal tiger!

Another great video, thanks Devin. Question: I planted Canna Lily Cannova last year ( PWatson via Roberta’s), wonderful result, think they may come back on my south brick wall in zone 5? If so, when might they emerge? And what app can I use for some con$ultation time? Thanks.

[@plantvibrations]

Hmm it is possible that they may comeback! Are you on Instagram? If so send me a message and we can set up a consultation!

[@cathyjones3618]

Hi Devin love ur video I got ur canna and they are gorgeous I planted them in containers. I’ve been watching videos that say I should dig them up but to wait till first frost is this correct? I’m in Pa zone 7 Thx for all ur help

[@plantvibrations]

Hi Cathy, great question. since you are zone 7, after the first frost the foliage will brown and that is your signal to cut them back to the ground. but bc your winter won't be too cold in zone 7, you can lay a three inch mulching on top rather than digging them out if you prefer. and then in spring push the mulch to the side. hope that helps.

[@cathyjones3618]

Plant Vibrations with Devin Wallien Hey thanks for getting back to me since the cannas have Multiple I was thinking of dividing them n sending some to my sister in California Could use ur help on how to do this .... should I do this now b4 frost or wait till spring Thx u Hope ur having a great day

[@plantvibrations]

@@cathyjones3618 ive give it another month so you can keep enjoying it a bit longer. then when you are ready cut it back and pack the rhizome in a bag full of soil to keep it moist in transit

[@artistikadmin5091]

What kind of soil do you recommend using in the pot?

[@plantvibrations]

any bagged type of potting mix will be great

[@Orodski]

Hi Devin, I planted my more then a month ago in full ground. Still nothing 🙁 what can I do? Tnx

[@plantvibrations]

Are they in full sun and warm weather?

[@Orodski]

Plant Vibrations with Devin the get full sun from 8 in the morning till 5 in the afternoon so ...

[@plantvibrations]

@@Orodski you planted it shallowly and making sure it gets some moisture? give it a couple more weeks and if you dont see anything dig into the soil to see what's going on

[@laurentyler904]

Would this work with strelitzia rhizomes??

[@plantvibrations]

yes, it should be quite similar! if you are dividing a strelitzia, just plant the newly separated clumps/rhizomes at the depth they had been previously growing and they will do well!

[@michlasilberstein9385]

Can I plant them in the Fall? Or wait for spring? I’m in zone 7 and just got some rizhomes

[@plantvibrations]

tough call. i would plant them now bc they won't be viable if you store them till spring. plant them asap and they should sprout soon then give them a decent layer of mulch in mid november

[@witrasworld1657]

Dev, I don't really have access to virus resistant cannas, if the virus attacks, can my cannas develop immunity on their own?

[@plantvibrations]

oooh thats a tough one, its too hard to say for sure but worth experimenting

[@gailgoldberg754]

Where can I get the plants that are yellow or pink flowers? I have the red/orange ones and would like to add some additional color.

[@ideathatgrows]

Do you have Chinese money plants there? I knocked *almost* all of mine's arms off. 😬 I didn't mean to. 🥺... 🤬 I could use some guidance. .... It seems to take some kind of knack with these money plants...🤨 I'm new to gardening myself. You're my favorite gardener (you and Planterina) so I've been learning a lot. Looooove it. I wanted to take a moment to let you know you're inspiring others. Thanks for being awesome. 😊🌻

[@plantvibrations]

hahah its ok, that is a resilient plant! for the Pilea peperomioides they typically will do best in a southern or western facing window and you can wait until the soil dries out before watering. it'll grow back, so dont you worry!
