@@parttimeninja5521 I agree! Welcome explosions of ‘evergreen’ colour amongst all the green!

@@janinewoodbridge3814 aren’t they just! Thanks for watching ❤️

@@OlKo-hu4oz I agree! It’s a joy to look at them!

@@skajdius8056 You’re welcome! I learn a lot through trial and error. Happy to share my findings on here! The more colourful cordylines are less hardy, but the Charlie boy came through last winter beautifully with the fleece and the top hat.

@@jennysingleton9243 thank you for your lovely comment and welcome to tropical style gardening. Enjoy the learning process! You’ll find so many different views online on whether to protect musa basjoo or not. The truth is - if they die back, they will reshoot from the base (with friends!) but I really wanted to safeguard the height of mine this year so I did protect them. Here is a link to my video showing what I did. All the best!: th-cam.com/video/ItBhrtx9U4s/w-d-xo.htmlsi=T1-2pLME2lFgRt0U

Thank you for this, that’s really good to know and it makes sense as it’s grown so well there in the shade! I just hope it won’t be stunted by the frond above it. No doubt they will battle it out naturally. I do have a lot planted in a small space and so it will be interesting to see how the space evolves!

@@ShirleyGrant-p2e Thank you grandma!! I love that we share a love of gardening ❤️

@@bossprincess7694 Thanks so much for your lovely comment! ❤️

Thank you for this gorgeous feedback, I do hope that my little patch can inspire other people interested in this type of gardening. I'm still learning, but loving the process! Thanks for watching!

Nature really is astounding. Thank you for watching!

Thanks so much, it’s good to review progress once in a while. More ideas in the pipeline for next year God willing, thanks for watching the journey with me❤

Thank you so much! Really, I’m a part of the audience on this, nature is amazing. I’m so blessed to have it right behind my home! Thank you for watching ❤

@@janinewoodbridge3814 thank you! I agree, the large leaves are stunning, even in low light! Nature is amazing.

@@dawnprince8478 absolutely! Thankfully there are some evergreens that are about to put in the night shift 😊❤️

@@Knapper94 Hey! Lovely to hear from you. My new growth is very slow to emerge indeed but I can see what looks like brown edging. It’s hard to tell. I’ve given it the spear pull test but it’s pretty rigid. For its second winter I plan to protect it again with fleece and an umbrella over the crown. Like you, I hope it’s just acclimatising. That said, one of these days I’ll need to move it😩 The plants and trees around it are sizing up and something’s gonna have to give!

@@janinewoodbridge3814 thank you so much for your lovely comment! The patio is one of my happy places 😊

@@theimbiber Thank you for your kind comment. 😊So easy to achieve too!

Thank you so much, plants certainly make the patio look better!

@@tropiclaud you're welcome. They most certainly do. Wishing you an awesome weekend and happy gardening.

Thank you so much, its a labour of love!

@@geesgardeningclubuk5247 Thank you for your kind comments! I do hope it helps someone overwinter this magnificent plant.

Hello there! It really can be a struggle keeping on top of the watering. During this season, in the West Midlands we’ve been blessed with frequent rain which has made the job much easier. I sometimes water ‘on demand’, using how the plants look as my gauge, I don’t have a watering routine. In extended periods of sun i try to water most evenings, but those episodes are rare where I live.

Aww, I am so pleased to hear this! The garden gives me so much joy, I'm glad to share it ☺

Hello there, thank you for watching. I get them from a variety of places. My lanterns I tend to replace each year, this year's colourful lanterns were from B&Q. My fence lights and uplights were purchased on Amazon and my hanging lightbulbs were from Morrisons. I talk about them here: th-cam.com/users/shortsf0f7L1mfyzs?si=AFFt5P1tRxYAkkvy. Hope this helps!

Thanks so much for your feedback! I’m sorry to say the schefflera alpina didn’t make it. I was gutted. It was happy in a pot and succumbed when planted out. Not one that I plan to replace though. I have a macrophylla which is doing well. As for cordylines, I protected my Charlie boy last year by tying up the fronds, covering it with fleece and then turning a pot upside down over the top to keep rain out. It came through winter beautifully. I plan to do the same again this year. Hope this helps!

Thanks so much, you’re right! My colocasias are only just sizing up now, I’d love an Indian summer to enjoy the plants at their best.

Hi both, thank you so much and keep up the great work. This style of planting is rewarding. There’s always something new to learn!

Oh thank you for your lovely comment 😁 I had never considered my Brummy accent to be calming, you’ve made my day! I’ve tried to do a mixture of narration/music/none of the above to give the channel variety but your feedback is very much noted and I’ll give the meditation vids a think! Thank you for watching and all the best with your garden, you’ve chosen one of the best styles of gardening out there 😉🌿🌿

You’re welcome lovely lady 😎🌴

Thanks so much, it's great to see them reach their potential. The canopy is growing quickly and I'm enjoying the evolving heights. Thanks for watching, I'm glad you like the music too!

I steered clear of house plants when I first got into tropical style planting, but I could only withstand the temptation for so long! I'm only dipping my toe at the moment, but these are a few of my faves and it's nice to get them outside when the weather warms up😁

@@tropiclaud 100% It's just finding that spot they like!

@@Berzyberz tropical plant love received and sent back!☺️❤️ It’s been so much fun, and become even more rewarding as the garden has evolved. Thank you for the kind words and encouragement 🌿

@@GrowTropicalMK there are a few in here that I love! The buddleia flowers reliably and has such a vibrant colour that fits well with the tropical style planting around it.

@@101candlelight6 Thank you for your kind words! Yes it’s been a labour of love but truly worth it as the garden keeps evolving. I hope your garden is thriving 🙌

@@101candlelight6 Barbados!! What a beautiful place you live in. Welcome! Our weather is so very different here and we try to grow plants that withstand the wet and cold. It’s a challenge, but very rewarding when we can at least get the effect. Thank you for watching!

​@@tropiclaudyou're welcome, yes we have hot, hot and hot even during the season, we get a little bit of relief in December. Can't imagine gardening during the four seasons but you do it so well. Happy gardening and an awesome weekend from a new subscriber.

@@Hollywiththeflowers thank you so much, it’s a labour of love and a work in progress!

@@dawnprince8478 lovely to hear! I love sharing my love for interesting foliage!

@@bossprincess7694 🙌🙌I get to combine my love for music and gardening on here. Perfect 🥰

@@bossprincess7694 aww thanks for the feedback! Shorts don’t suit everyone when it comes to gardening, but nice to have the variation available on the channel.

@@stuebarb2024 Hi there, I wanted the 5L but they were sold out. So I got the 3L instead. Hope this helps!

@@tropiclaud Thankyou

@@djjluvv Hey there! Thank you for checking in! It’s doing really well, you can glimpse it in this short th-cam.com/users/shorts3z7wZmsdmUE?si=Ux_cfyLDRWY-KXox but I hope to do a fuller update tour soon. I still have it in a pot and it’s happy in dappled shade. I’ll be bringing it in as soon as the temp dips!
