How to Grow a UK Tropical Garden on a Budget

I wanted to produce a video to help out people just getting into tropical style gardening or those wanting to add to their planting this year without spending a lot of money. I’m lucky enough to have a number of mature specimens but since moving to our new house, unfortunately ‘essential’ home improvements and (hopefully) getting married this year have created the need for some money saving methods to work on my planting plans for this year. So whether you’re designing and building a new garden from scratch or starting out with a tropical plant border in your garden this year, hopefully there’s some tips, ideas and plant buying advice that will help you out!
If you want to know any more, please leave me a comment and I’ll do my best to get back to you quickly. Happy growing!

Thank you very much Jackie, that's very kind of you! The new garden has altered a lot over the past couple of years, it's great to see everything maturing!

[@mirandapanda8228]

This couldn’t have come at a better time for me. 😄 I am adding tropical plants to my garden this year but don’t have a large budget to spend and the money I have I want to spend wisely. I have a lot of containers one of which already has a palm in (trachycarpus fortunei) it’s a medium size so hopefully will grow to be a nice feature. It’s so tempting to buy a large container palm but this video has shown that it would be better to be patient and wait for my plants to grow - I need more patience and I am sure it will be more rewarding that way too. Thanks so much for sharing your wisdom!

[@GeorgesJungleGarden]

Hi, that’s great to hear and you’re at an exciting time in the journey for sure! As you can see, I’ve got a good few larger plants but this is my passion and I’ve built them up over a number of years - if I was starting out, I’d have stuck to small and medium size Trachycarpus Fortunei for definite. They’re not an ideal plant for containers long term when they get big anyway, a few years and they’ll fill a big 160lt pot and growth will slow down. For the couple of hundred pounds or so you’d spend on that large potted Trachycarpus, you could definitely get a great selection of other tropical style plants with loads more impact. If you’re getting a feather palm that’s less hardy and grow slower (I looked at them in a previous vid) or a tree fern then there’s definite benefits to buying at a decent size but Trachycarpus, nope. It’s not just a case of needing to be more patient, it’s getting more for your money long term and more plants now!

[@mirandapanda8228]

@@GeorgesJungleGarden thanks George that’s really sensible advice. I think I’d rather have more plants for the money than one large one you’re right.

[@GeorgesJungleGarden]

@@mirandapanda8228 There’s definitely a time and a place for a big specimen palm but the price big Trachycarpus are at, I wouldn’t make it one of them 👍 Jungle Seeds is one of my favourite places for seeds, it’s well worth a look!

[@victorianicol-smith9436]

Just watched this and it saved me from buying really tall and expensive black bamboo specimens. I researched and saw how quick they grew so got a a couple of smaller pots and bought some seeds to try too! Apparently 2 weeks-6 months to germinate but I can wait 🙂 Thank you!!

[@GeorgesJungleGarden]

Nice one! I’ve never grown bamboo from seed personally but they’re definitely worth planting small, the plants can double in size or more some years whereas a lot of plants bought large are recent divisions and may take longer to settle in. Scottish Bamboo has a great range of 5L plants in if there’s any others you’re after. Fargesia varieties are the easiest clumping varieties.

Well that's my afternoon gone!!!! What great videos, I have know decided to change one side of my garden. Can you recommend any seed companies please. I ordered some Ricinus and only one germinated. Also any recommendations for palms or any of your other must have plants.

[@GeorgesJungleGarden]

Haha thanks for watching Angela! I like using Jungle Seeds mainly, lots of interesting seeds and they come with helpful instructions. Ricinus usually germinate reliably but you might have got some old seeds or something - personally I wouldn’t sow them until at least March as they grow quickly but I’ve got a video about growing them from seed if it helps you. For palms, I’ve done a few videos looking at Trachycarpus fortunei and wagnerianus, they’re really tough and easy but as for other plants, have a look through the vids and I’m sure some others will grab you! 😃

[@leemaharg3788]

I live in South Wales and have got e few palms in my garden ,I have seven trachies and ten chamaerhops ,three ensette bananas and seven Musa basajoo clumps and in pots which I keep in a heated greenhouse ,my shed and conservatory are six nobilis Bismarck silver ,six robusta and six phoenix ,which I bring out in the summer months ! But they are all over six feet high and I am rapidly running out space ! But I am addicted to Palm trees and tropical gardening ! !

Great videos George, transforming my back garden at minute, modern style jungle garden. I was wondering how quickly does the Trachycarpus Fortunei grow in a year if planted at 2 ft specimen looking after it properly.

[@GeorgesJungleGarden]

Thanks Paul and that sounds like an exciting project! I’d say it’ll take 2-3 years to really settle in but then it’ll pick up growth - a foot a year is realistic. They’re best off planted small as they develop better that way.

[@ARW.7]

Great video George and you have definitely got me thinking as I’ve been adding to my garden over the last 2 years (when we moved in) and I love the maturity of some of your trachies but you raise a valid point. Currently I have some bananas, (bought small last summer and within a few months already about 1.5m in height). Same with a small canna cleopatra which gained crazy height in first few months through summer. I’ve also got my favourites like a tranchycarpus fortueni and a Washingtona palm but neither are the height of yours in terms of trunk size which does make such an impressive instant impact. As I’m a bit obsessed with palms I’ve been really trying not to spend about £150 on a decent sized trunk trachy waggy. I live in the South Downs near Brighton so it’s the perfect climate most of the year and luckily we have quite a few great garden centres. But like you said they currently so expensive and I found it interesting what you were saying at the start of the video RE palm prices over the recent years. Sooo tempting though and I has to happen at some point as I don’t think I’m prepared to wait years 😂

[@GeorgesJungleGarden]

Thanks! There’s some interesting points in there but I’d say it could be worth spending the money on a larger but maybe rarer / more unusual specimen and getting multiple smaller Trachycarpus that’ll do their thing in the background (for now!). Waggies are great looking when they’re smaller! I’d recommend seeing what Hardy Palms list for sale next week, I can’t recommend them enough...

[@GeorgesJungleGarden]

Thank you very much! I bring the Ensetes in, yes, and the Musa basjoo bananas either stay out or go in the polytunnel if they’re small. Minimum temps vary by plant but Ensetes are perfectly OK down to maybe 5 degrees or just under, maybe even less than that for short periods. Musa basjoo can take light frosts but it’s worth wrapping the pseudostem if freezing temps are likely for you to keep height for next year in most places. They’re root hardy to temperatures way below freezing though.

[@frankleigh7861]

Hi, thanks so much for your post I am so grateful for them what soil or compost do you use I have a small collection of young palms do you have a suggestion as to soil type a feeding regime I collect seeds from our holidays in tenerife and the odd specimen please reply I would be so grateful for any advice you can give, please keep your blog going. regards Frank Ps I live I Blackpool

[@GeorgesJungleGarden]

Hi Frank, thanks for your comment. Personally I use either coir (expensive and you really need to be on top of the watering / feeding) or Jacks Magic (unfortunately peat based so I’m looking at alternatives). John Innes should be good too. Anything that’s relatively well draining, mixed with a bit of perlite perhaps, and not the really light peaty multipurpose composts like Erin should be Ok for palms. You can always mix different ‘ingredients’ up to suit the palms you’re growing. Some Mediterranean palms may want more drainage, Trachycarpus isn’t too fussy etc. As for feeding, only do it from April to late August ish, there’s no point feeding when temperatures are much under ten degrees and the plants aren’t growing or at the end of the season when the new growth hasn’t had time to harden off. I generally use liquid seaweed and a bit of Palmfocus, but the key is to not use too much. I’ll cover this in a video but palms don’t need the high nitrogen feed you give to bananas etc, a more balanced fertiliser is fine. What varieties do you grow?

[@leemaharg3788]

Oh and I forgot my six ten foot high cordylines behind the shed and my three six foot tree fern ,dicksonias ! And about three big pots of different types of bamboo !

Hi, I just spent the last hour watching your fab videos, well done they are great. I wondered if you knew much about Melianthus Major?? I have a good big specimen but it gets taller every year with no foliage at the base. Its developed 3/4 tall, woody stems which the foliage sprouts from the top but there is no foliage lower down. Is this normal or is nit really struggling?? Thanks Elkie x

[@GeorgesJungleGarden]

Hi Elkie, that’s amazing to hear, I’m pleased you’ve enjoyed them so far and thanks for taking the time to comment. I have a few smaller Melianthus and mine will have to be cut back this year to regrow in spring after the cold wiped out last year’s growth. From what I know, what you’re describing is perfectly normal, they can get a bit leggy. Some people cut them back every year to get the fresh green growth, others leave them for the height and flowers. Can it be under planted with something else?

@@GeorgesJungleGarden hi, thanks for the reply. Yes I have some salvias in front of it, I'm too worried to cut it down in case that kills it!! Also keeping it upright is proving hard as it keeps leaning over. It's in quite sandy soil which was once a patio so I wonder if more mulching would help?

That’s fantastic and you’re completely right, to be on the safe side I’d wait til spring now.

Do you keep a lot of your plants in containers? And what do you feed them on? Thanks

[@GeorgesJungleGarden]

Hi, the majority of my plants were in containers at our old house for a number of years because I knew we were going to move one day. Now we’re in the new garden, you’ll see from my Winter tour vid that I intend to plant the vast majority out! Most palms aren’t great choices for containers long term. In terms of feed, it depends on the plants, what sorts are you thinking of? Seaweed extract is a good multipurpose option but then I add fertilisers to suit different groups of plants from Spring to late Summer.

[@Bee-io3id]

@@GeorgesJungleGarden I’m hoping to grow as much as possible from seed as very tight budget and then get a few specimen palms but as recommended smaller ones to start 😁 I’ve got couple of bananas and quite a few Cannas that I want to split which I’m over wintering inside. I’ve got seaweed extract as someone said it deters red spider which are proving tricky as I don’t like sloshing the chemical about.

[@GeorgesJungleGarden]

@@Bee-io3id I’d go for smaller Trachycarpus then and something a bit different if you’re wanting a specimen palm. Ricinus, Amaranthus and some bold flowers like Dahlias etc would work well with the bananas. I haven’t heard that about mites but I use seaweed on pretty much everything. I use a minimal amount chemicals too but if you’re keeping bananas especially in pots then a regular dose of Miracle Gro etc will be great as they’re heavy feeders. If they’re in the ground, loads of organic matter and chicken manure pellets are top choices, boosted regularly with the seaweed fertiliser.

[@jimbailey3705]

Where do you suggest buying small banana plants? I can’t remember ever seeing them in any local garden centre and I’m always unsure of where to buy online. Shipping plants is an art-form! Btw, would love to see vids o growing cannas from seed! I tried from tubers last year and nothing grew 😭. Tubers are expensive, too!

[@GeorgesJungleGarden]

Turn it Tropical is a great site to go in Spring but I’ve also had a few off EBay to be fair! A lot of the garden centres do sell them but they can be silly money. Did you let the tubers dry out before you planted them as that might have caused problems? I’ll see what I can do fit a seed vid but I think Yorkshire Kris already has one you should check out 👍

[@GeorgesJungleGarden]

@@jimbailey3705 No worries. Nobody grows everything perfectly or over winters every plant successfully every year so don’t worry! It’s always a balancing act, they don’t want to be dry but equally they’ll rot if they get too wet. It’s hard if you’re trying to overwinter them inside too as the warmth dries them out quickly or encourages them to grow! It’s all a learning curve!

[@elkielonnkvist8962]

Growing cannas from seed is easy. I just collect my own seed from my garden and then sow them in a grid in seed trays in my greenhouse. I don't bother soaking them or chipping the seed coating. Most germinate but I get a few that don't. The young plants grow very quickly once they have germinated and can soon be potted and grown on. They usually flower the same summer. It's very exciting as I never know what colour leaves or flowers I will get 😁

[@GeorgesJungleGarden]

@@elkielonnkvist8962 They do seem to be at the easier end of seeds to grow but I’ve struggled with some varieties in previous years, the boiling water trick definitely helps increase the germination success rates!

Hi Jimmy, £100 is enough to make a decent tropical style garden given a bit of time and work. Is it a garden that needs to look reasonably good all year round and or are you looking for a mainly summer display? That does affect the plant choices but in all honesty I have used a lot of the tips in this video myself.
