This is awesome. Inspiration for sure! Also, I know you’re an organic gardener; while I may be 95% organic, as I still use rubbing alcohol and peroxide on certain pests, I have to say, slug and snail pellets are quite useful, and I believe fairly compatible with organic gardens. Depending on the brand, and I don’t know the brands available in the Uk, of course, I’m in California… we have Sluggo and Bug-getta and both are 100% effective. And non-tempting to other animals…that are incessantly curious… 🙄 They’re just iron phosphate granules, which mollusks apparently love; whether or not that’s “organic”, it’s not a dangerously lethal spray, mist or powder… it’s lethal if you’re a mollusk, however. But then again, beer traps are highly effective as well 😜. Or o you can buy copper tape and wrap it around the trunks of trees or larger plants that are particularly susceptible. Or around the rims of containers. It gives wet or slimy invertebrates a slight electric charge and keeps them away.

Craig One of the best informative videos I’ve have seen on KZbin not only the plant name and picture but the most important the name pronunciation which I for one Snuggle with. #jurassic_ jungle_uk

[@GrowParadise]

Thanks, I can’t guarantee that I’m saying it all 100% right though 😂 Some of those names are tough!

[@dianeconway293]

Thank you for this amazing video and especially the list of names. I have been waiting for a video like this for ages, well done

[@uktropicals]

Pen and paper at the ready!

[@walkingtalkinggardeners]

Hi, how are you overwintering the fuchsia boliviana behind you at the beginning of the video. Kind regards Simon

[@GrowParadise]

Hi, this will be left outside unprotected and I will take cuttings as a back up 😀

[@pamelaapgar8184]

I have a Colocasia elephant ear I love them. Love Colocasia Mojito, canna Tropicana black 🖤💙💚

[@GrowParadise]

They are all great plants 😀

[@jamesring5383]

i have colocasia mojito too and canna bengal tiger

[@Zoe.TheBody360]

Love your videos....but UK Warm.....we have 12 degrees as a high in August!! lol

[@GrowParadise]

Where are you in the UK? I’m talking about the temperatures in my garden in this video, we’re lucky enough to be back up in the 20°C’s this week.

[@gunndabad]

Where did you source the Podocarpus henkelii from? I’ve been after one for ages but never found any for sale.

[@GrowParadise]

It’s a cutting that’s grown from a friends plant 👍

[@benediktk.8228]

Regarding evergreen Prunus sp., i think Prunus lusitanica does look even more tropical than P. laurocerasus. Maybe because it does look somewhat like a ficus tree.

[@GrowParadise]

That’s a good suggestions, thanks 👍

[@Omlittlebuddha]

Do you have any begonias that you mentioned in your shop Craig?

[@GrowParadise]

Not yet, but I’m currently propagating LOTS 😀 Keep your eyes peeled.

[@valougame3175]

Which conditions do you provide to germinate Musschia wolastonii seeds ( temperature, humidity, soil, cover the seeds or not…) ? Because I ordered few weeks ago Sonchus palmensis, Geranium maderense and Musschia wollastonii seeds (yellow and red form) but there is only the Musschia where I have any germination, the other I have realy great and fast results !

[@GrowParadise]

They seemed to like bright light but cooler temperatures for me. This is the first year that I had a really good germination rate on them.

[@valougame3175]

@@GrowParadise Your seeds started to germinate into your greenhouse I suppose, what was the temperature in it when they germinate ?

[@patriciau6277]

Get a goose. It loves slugs and snails

[@benediktk.8228]

or a hedgehog haha

[@GrowParadise]

I’d love one, and chickens 😀

[@Omlittlebuddha]

I have my air plants in full sun, is that wrong?

[@GrowParadise]

They should be fine, just be sure to keep them hydrated.

[@Omlittlebuddha]

Every year I buy a new shefflera, and every year the slugs and snails eat it 😢

[@GrowParadise]

They can be a pain! We’ve got a resident toad that’s helping out with the slug population 😀🐸

[@Omlittlebuddha]

@@GrowParadise oh that’s so funny because yesterday I went out back and there was a frog! No idea how he got there but very happy to have him in the garden 🪴 🐸
