Exotic Garden Winter Care Plan 2024

#Exoticgardening #yorkshirekris #howtogarden
Here's a walk and talk looking at how I'll care for my plants during winter. As you'll see, most need minimal care and effort to get through winter. I'll talk about what care (if any) all my plants need.

You’ve created your own oasis and after that recent bad winter I decided to only grow genuine hardy tropical looking plants. That’s simpler . Thanks Kris 😊

[@YorkshireKRIS]

So nice of you, thanks for commenting

[@higgypop]

Thanks for this. Very helpful. I've brought on three fantastic echiums this year, was wondering how to protect them. Just crossed fingers I guess!

[@wesleyhackney]

Amazing how many tropical plants you can grow that are cold tolerant & can come back year over year the more time you spend planting those type plants the better off you will be

[@YorkshireKRIS]

@@wesleyhackney totally agree

[@lindseykaine-walley6339]

Do you ever get poked in the eyes with your palms? I know I do!! Love your garden. Thank you for this video. It's very helpful to me as always with your knowledge.

[@YorkshireKRIS]

@lindseykaine-walley6339 very close, very often!

[@myexoticfoodplants6727]

Fabulous

Regnan used to be the taller tree. Some that were cutted were estimated to be 130metres

[@YorkshireKRIS]

130m is immense

[@truth-hurts3089]

Listening to this to try to calm the stress of trying to get oasis tockets😂

[@YorkshireKRIS]

@truth-hurts3089 get some for me will ya?

Hi Kris, great as always! Your Hedychium forrestii is no doubts a superstar of you garden, so powerful and even bloom quite early! How do you care for it to get such brilliant result, which kind of soil do you use and how do you feed it during summer months? Could you recommend the best fertilazer for Hedychiums (generally) based on your experience? With regards. Roman

[@YorkshireKRIS]

@user-fo8ih4jk3g hi, I've found they like moisture retentive soil and I just add chicken pellets or manure in spring. They are one of my favourite plants

[@DementedDog]

Any tips for a Dicksonia? I’ll be following your process for my bananas 😁

[@StuartofShrewsbury]

Kris, very helpful video as it gives us time to plan. If you wanted to divide your cannas, would you recommend you do it before winter or late Spring when they start to appear? I left my cannas in the ground last Winter and they were fine, they even came through stronger than when I used to lift them.

[@YorkshireKRIS]

Thanks for watching. Cannas divide better in spring when just coming into growth.

I have got Colocasia pink China in the ground and understand I don’t need to do anything with those but this year I’ve planted some other varieties. I’m not sure if I have to dig them up and put into pots or dry store them ? We’re in the coldest area of east anglia !

[@YorkshireKRIS]

@kateeveritt3292 most types of colocasia aren't hardy so need to be lifted and either kept growing over winter or dry stored if it's grown a large enough 'bulb'

[@philippehoyez9398]

At 4:11you are exaggerating a little on the hardiness of Clerodendron bungei (-20°C) because from -17°C the plant dies !

[@YorkshireKRIS]

The way it suckers and comes back from the roots I wouldn't be surprised. But you're correct in as far as saying my garden hasn't seen minus 20 so it's just from what I've read on this occasion

[@experiancemanuk]

I have fruit on my bannana plant what should do with it befor the winter. Thanks

[@YorkshireKRIS]

@@experiancemanuk just enjoy it whilst you can. The main stem that's fruiting will die off soon anyway. The surrounding stems will continue growing until cold weather arrives

[@lindalu8565]

What planting zone?
