@@antnewbon2673 the water level sits just below the soil/seed. The water temperature sits quite happily in-between 25°-26°C with a 25w heater. As the plant grows it'll need a larger container until it'll go outside into the heater water lily pond. This is all new to me but seems to be working

They're fascinating plants aren't they. Do you think mine will be ok outside in a sheltered/dapple shady spot in the UK during summer months?

@ I posted a video in my TH-cam of my green house! You can see my layout of my Epiphyllums! The queen of the night leafs are very thin. So I personally don’t recommended it, unlesss you cover them.

@ I agree!!! These Epiphyllum’s are magnificent!!!!

@@Epiphyllumoasis thank you 😁 I'll take a look 🌴

@ you’re welcome!!!!

@@bloggalot4718 they're a crazy plant hey! It seems there's no stopping them 🌴

Wow 10 ponds! This is my 4th but I’d like a mock stream too

@Ourgarden-podcast haha yeah been building ponds for years, but moved into my current garden about 4 years ago and wanted alot of water around the garden. 3 of them are pondless waterfalls 4 of them are small ponds slowly adding small waterfalls to each and lastly a very large rec pond meant for swimming, which consists of 2 large ponds one of them nearly 2m deep with a connected top pond and stream into a lower pond which then flows back into the large pond 🤔 lol it makes sense in my head 😂🤷‍♂️ i would highly recommend a stream build for your garden, ive found you can make some cool trickle streams that you can run a cheap solar pump on so no wires or anything. or if you can run a decent pump you could make a cool larger pondless stream. 🤔🤷‍♂️

@@GardenMyselfHappy to be honest, I'd rather had moved them when the frosts were over and the ground was a tad warmer but we had no choice. They're so hardy, I doubt it will really make a difference when they're moved so long as the ground isn't frozen 🌴

​@@Ourgarden-podcastthanks, I'll wait a few weeks, I'm in SW Wales so last frost date is technically may, but by the coast we don't get too much. Hopefully yours do great. And they all make it. Lovely group of plants.

@GardenMyselfHappy I think light frosts will be absolutely fine, just not temperatures where the ground literally freezes solid..again they'll probably be fine but if you can't wait a few weeks I really would. Yep, I don't blame him for taking them all with him. Would cost a small fortune to replace nowadays too. Fingers crossed 🌴

@@DJSupaflyguy will do 😁🌴

@ be good to see if your 2 survive and Marks along with his next garden! 🫡

@@DJSupaflyguy I'll try and do a follow up in spring 🌴👍🏼

It's a bit of a mission hey 😂 I think we got enough rootball on each one to survive so fingers crossed they keep their height and give a good show this summer. Always worth giving it a go 🌴

@@Ourgarden-podcast pretty sure they'll be just fine you're down south so they have a better chance , good luck sent your way

They were super heavy! Hoping they don't die back this summer and keep some height..fingers crossed 🌴

@@bloggalot4718 I have two Loquats happily growing in the jungle area yep, they've been left out for the past three years. I'll check out the kniphophia you've mentioned though 😁💚

Works for me and the look I want in my garden..may not work for everyone though 🌴

Should be able to do the second part this weekend.. weather permitting 😂🌴

Fingers crossed it'll be enough to get it going and into our poor British summer months 😂

@@CJDykes no me either. Super excited to get it sizing up. It's actually part of the araceae family so similar leaf shape to an Alocasia. Something different hey!

@@CJDykes thank you. I'm really excited to get started with the aquatic plants this year. I'll finish off the waterfall and new staircase and then I'll be able to crack on with the water lily pond 😁🌴

@Ourgarden-podcast try some Lizard Tail, lovely plant with lovely white nodding head flower faceless. Also Pickerel Weed is a great plant if you like purple flowers, both are pollinator magnets

@CJDykes I was reading up on lizard tail yesterday actually as somebody locally is selling it. It reminded me of a runner bean leaf in the photo. I'll read up on Pickerel, thank you

@@Ourgarden-podcast Excellent thankyou

@juwelkeeper No problem. Chris

@@juwelkeeper thanks, appreciate that. These were just an eBay/Amazon purchase. I think you can buy them in 10m strings for around £15-20

@@sallystanfield3078 thank you 🙂 yes I agree, the loquat will definitely need to be moved. There's a much larger one just yards from it anyway, so I may well move this into a part of the garden that gets lots more light. The Phormium and loquat haven't been there long so the roots shouldn't be too difficult to dig up and avoid causing too much upset 🌴

@Ourgarden-podcast I have moved some well established phormium,s in the past with no problem,s , even dug one up because I thought I,d lost it to the bad winter if 2010 , my daughter took it for her garden and it re grew vigorously .

@@sallystanfield3078 they're pretty bombproof hey. Now, to find a place for it...🤔 Got too many plants being overwintered, I need to stop buying more haha

@@pamelapearce8702 fortunately not no 😂 just very similar

They're beautiful aren't they and one of, if not the first thing to flower for me in the garden. They suit so many garden styles too. I bought another one yesterday for the backdrop of my new tropical water lily pond I'm building..they're a bit pricey now though 😕

@Ourgarden-podcast I,l have to take extra special care of mine then as last year wood pidgins,s decided to nest in mine all season , nightmare .

Thank you 😊💚

We'll be even smaller next time as we'd like to get more of the background in shot..and less of us 😂

@@Ourgarden-podcast😂

Thanks for being first but this won’t go viral 😂

@@Sam-er6up too right 🤣💚

That's a great idea, thank you. I'll give it some thought 🤔

We'll be in touch 💚🌴

@@Ourgarden-podcast great! Thank you

If you'd like to message me directly (Chris Bowers) on Facebook, I'll take your address and get a mug sent out to you 🙂 thanks for commenting 🌴💚

Exactly what we said 💚

@@UrbFoxFact why random? I have a gardening TH-cam channel/podcast? 😁💚

@@andreasgeorgiou7752 you'll eat your words come July 😜

It is alive, my mum has these exact plants in the garden and somehow they look in much worse health than this one and they still sprout up every year, they look like dead twigs to me but they seem to still pop up every year

@@andreasgeorgiou7752 you don’t know canna 👊
