very very nice and beautiful

[@sallyedmondson9275]

Gosh Hannah, every time I see your garden I am blown away at how beautiful it is ! Maybe one day !? 😍🌱

[@hollyhasegawa6095]

My goodness Hannah, your garden even though you are cutting things back and overwintering things it is still so beautiful. I'm getting ready to cut back all of my perennial flowers and bushes and get things ready for our snow that will follow our colder weather. I have so many ideas for my yard next year thanks to all of the KZbinrs that I follow, and that makes me excited to style things next year when the weather is nice again. I love your videos and love to see all the things you are doing in the UK. Thanks so much for sharing and I hope you have a lovely day, bye for now.

[@lifepaholic716]

Wow it so sad to see them lose those leaves but can't wait for your Spring videos when they Sprung again. Thanks for sharing this video it's very informative.

[@EnchantedwithPoodles]

Wow. That did look like carnage. What an exhausting chore that must be. Love the still shot of you peeking from behind that enormous leaf.

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

Dori I’d forgotten what hard work it was doing this. At least I did it on a nice sunny day… It has been constantly raining ever since so I’m glad I managed to do it and film it for you guys 🌴🌺

Nice garden.... I love it😍😍❤️❤️❤️

How beautiful..I almost cried when you cut them down

Arhin NANA AMA S Unfortunately it needs to be done for it to survive the winter… It will come back bigger and better than ever next spring 😃🌴🌺

[@goddess131]

good to know how you prep for winter there, thanks for the video.

[@kathymacomber4502]

I’m very happy to watch this video

[@judymckerrow6720]

Beautiful garden! I live in the northern part of the US so the only thing I’m able to do is dig up or drag in to save any tropicals I plant. I’m so jealous of your ability to just leave them in the ground and cover them up. Thank you for showing us your beautiful garden.

very very beautiful garden one day I'm gonna have mine as beautiful as yours, I just love it, thank you

[@jagman1953]

What a beautiful garden ! It’s also quite impressive that you did all of that work without damaging a single fingernail. 😂😂 thank you 🙏

[@DixieGirl9876]

I'm doing some of the same this week. For my huge area of canna's once frost hits my Husband will use the tractor and mow down the stalks, and then a light mulching. Love the Cleopatra's! Here it's pansies and mum season, the garden centers are full of them. I just finished planting several dozen pansies around my garden, if it's a mild winter they will bloom all winter here. The chrysanthemums just bloom through autumn.

[@angelgardener2748]

Gorgeous plants. It is always sad cutting them back!!

[@TheLivingBackyard]

So beautiful! And so sad to have to cut them back when they are still green and pretty. I will check newer videos, I just bumped into your channel! ♥

[@irismoles9369]

Good information Thanks

Wow amazing! Landscape design Idea

My caladiums r still going by strong so I wait..thnx for all the tips Hannah!!😘

[@kyrad6543]

Your garden is glorious! Canna Cleopatra is my favorite! I still have on in bloom in a pot that I moved into the house. Once that final bloom is done, I will put it away for the winter. It's too cold for the ground here, so I must store them.

[@Surrealartist]

Thank you for sharing this video, truly enjoyed it and learned a lot. Very inspiring!

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

Magic Paintings thanks for watching I’m glad you enjoyed it! 😄🌿🌴

[@TeedarkAngel]

I know the UK does not have zones but I would image your winter is milder than mind in US zone 7 . I must dig up almost everything except rose bushes and cold weather plants to save them from the snow.

[@nataliebutler]

Cutting them back looks so brutal! I'd be scared to do this to my plants but very helpful to see how you do it.

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

Natalie Butler it is but they will be bigger and better next year. I think it’s worse when you see them out in the freezing cold as it damages the leaves. They will be all snug now for winter. Temps are starting to drop at night now 😃💚🌴

[@twistysunshine]

Super helpful video! I was always curious about how to do this

[@kathleenmurphy2379]

Love your Cleopatra Canna I tried to get one this summer but couldn't locate everyone was out so it's on my wish list for next summer. I didn't know you could keep cannas in the house as a houseplant put someone on their KZbin video said that except they just won't get as big inside the house thought that was interesting wondering how many people have ever tried it

[@thedave7029]

Love your channel :)

[@jhongenarocabacungan5136]

Thank you for your tips my caladiums is very strong and beautiful but not yet red flash but your red flash is beautiful

Can't wait to see them in Spring. Have you ever grown echiums?

Hi..where do u buy these tropical plants from?in uk most of the tropical plants are for indoors

[@zedgreenfingers]

Hi Hannah, Such a great video. So much care and attention went into your over wintering of your garden plants. As much as I love autumn I absolutely hate seeing my plants beginning to go dormant for the winter period. I miss them I guess 😂😂. Your garden is so beautiful and you can really tell how much effort that you have put into creating and maintaining it. Have you eaten any of your passion fruits ? Just curious I guess. Love your videos and was really looking forward to this one. I hope that you had some help to clear up afterwards 😁😁. Looking forward to seeing what you have planned next. 😁😁 Good luck with what over wintering you still have to get through.

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

Plants_and_paints Thanks so much! No I haven’t eaten any of the passion fruits.... I was assuming that you’d have to wait until they go a purple colour but actually I’m not sure… I’ll look into that! Nope I cleared it all up myself, hence my fiery hands 😩🔥🌿

[@irismoles9369]

Hi maybe a silly question do you have to drain water out of ensete maurelii if overwintering in side

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

Iris Moles If you mean keeping it inside with all the leaves for the winter… It’s a bit difficult to drain the water out when the leaves are on the plant… I just barely watered mine when it was inside last year

[@kathleenmurphy2379]

Are coleus you can take cuttings of and water it root in water and then plant in some soil they make wonderful wonderful house plants as long as you have the humidity up pretty high to about 60% I had wonderful plants last winter in the house and then in the spring started taking cuttings and I must have had a hundred cuttings from about for mother plants

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

Kathleen Murphy thanks yes I took cuttings last year and had some inside 😀🌿💚

[@jdt8826]

Beautiful garden. What zone are you in?

[@jennhoff03]

;'D I keep trying to get my subtropical garden to look like an English garden. ;'D We should switch spots!

[@EL-te5om]

Wow your garden is amazing, wouldn't the musa banana grow still as it is still warm?

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

Ellis Hannan quote possibly... Although the temperatures have started to drop more now. If they do I’ll just un wrap them and re-wrap them. I overwintered them early so I could show you guys how to do it 💚

Tropical Plant Addict nice video by the way

[@andrewcable5791]

Great video, very helpful as I have a few of those to deal with. I have two smallish washingtonia robusta in big pots at the moment, any tips on over wintering them? Many thanks

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

andrew cable sorry I don’t have any of those. You could either put them in a heated greenhouse, heated conservatory or somewhere bright and warm in your home

[@tulipgb5328]

Really enjoyed your video. Just the information I was looking for. Unfortunately my very large Ensette died in the shed last year. I had covered it in straw? Have just purchased my first Colocasia Pink. Very small just 2 leaves think I will just leave as ot is until spring keeping it inside in the kitchen? Look forward to checking out all your previous videos Hello from North Wales 🤗

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

tulip GB Thank you and welcome! I’ll be making an updated overwintering video soon. Regarding your banana… It was probably too wet and rotted… You have to turn them upside down to drain the water out of them before you store them for winter (they hold a ton of water). If you only just got your pink china yes maybe a good idea to keep it inside until next spring… They will be fine next year. Mine started off as two tiny plug plants last spring and now they have multiplied and are huge 💚🌿

[@tulipgb5328]

@@TropicalPlantAddict thank you for the reply Hannah. Yes you are right I didnt let the banana drain out ! With the colcasia do I water them sparingly & keep them relatively warm 💖

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

tulip GB hmmm you can try that with the colocasia... keep it in a bright warm place. If it still goes dormant stop watering completely

[@jhongenarocabacungan5136]

Du you have a baby red flash?

[@jilly6007]

What type of Sulphur powder is used? And how much per bulb?

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

Jilly it’s yellow sulphur... I have added it to my Amazon shop… The link is below the video. I just sprinkle on a little bit on each bulb… Not any particular amount

[@StinkyDustyBird]

I’m confused, musa in the uk? What zone are you? Does the uk use zones? I’m in 5 and can’t grow things like this, dahlias, cannas, everything you left out has to come in. Is it the amount of snow we get maybe?

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

Tammy Douglas Sorry we don’t use zones in the UK. I live in the south of the UK where it’s a bit milder during the winter. We do get frosts and sometimes a bit of snow but not very often

[@melinda8114]

Hi, can the alocasia stay in the Garden ?

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

melinda 81 it depends what country you are in. I put an alocasia Amazonia out on my bar during the hottest months then bring it in end of August. I don’t have any other alocasias in my garden

[@melinda8114]

You are such a sweetheart .. thx so much for answering. but the bulb of the canna and some colocasia can stay in the Garden? Just put the Mulch above?

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

melinda 81 yes that’s right but again It depends on where you live. It’s quite mild down here so I am able to leave them in the ground

[@melinda8114]

I guess Germany is almost the same 😃

[@megusina2794]

Do you cut the leaves of the Alocasias inside the house (polly and others)? This will be my first winter taking care of them and I don't know what to to 😥

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

Megusina only if they start to die back. One of my alocasias didn’t go forbear last winter as I kept it in a bright warm place, bit my other one did. If it does go dormant it will come back in the springtime

[@jamieilikeit]

What an amazing garden! Gives me much inspiration for working on mine next year. I have several Ensete and couple of tree ferns and is good to see how you go about overwintering yours. Where did you source your Colocasia and Caladiums?

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

Jim Bob thanks! I got my Colocasia esculenta from a local garden centre, the pink China’s are from Turn It Tropical Online and the caladiums are from casa Botanica online 🌿

[@jennywagner2448]

my colocasia in a pot on my deck already took a freeze... is it too late to dig it up now? :(

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

jenny wagner just dig it up ASAP, it might be ok. Sometimes they can take one or two very cold nights… It’s when it’s consistent it can be a problem 💚🌱

Great tips here! How do you get on with weeds? I have an issue with bind weed and it’s a nightmare trying to stop coming up.

[@andreavinacco8011]

What does the sulfur powder do in regards to the Caladium bulbs for over wintering?

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

Water Prop Babe it acts as a fungicide to help prevent mould

I’ve never tried leaving caladiums in the ground here, mine never seem to do that well in the garden

Isn’t it way too early to winterize the plants? You have to wait till it goes below zero.

[@TropicalPlantAddict]

orod harati Some of them yes… like the cannas and Gunnera and musa b’s, the other tender plants no. As I mentioned at the beginning of video I’m doing it a bit early this year so that I get the chance to show you how I do it… As last year I left it too late and it was raining for weeks on end and I wasn’t able to film any of it
