I have sprayed every two weeks throughout the summer and even today 15 September as it is set for a warm week and I have seen the moths over the past week. Last year my box were so stripped of leaves I was thinking of grubbing them out. I tried this product and they are fully revived.

Mine only has one runner but from watching youtube videos i don't think you need to get rid of the whole runner. If you just cut the sucker off the end when it is ready it might just disappear

Hi

How much water will it need over the winter? Thank you.

Hello! How is it now?

I'm learning too, thanks for the tips😂

I'm guessing that is BTK

Thank you so much for this video. I have just bought a T Rex and can clearly see from your experience that I am going to have to go the pot route!

Can you make castor oil from it?

It handled the -1 pretty well

The top soil I have bought is so gross. It's so wet and heavy. It seems like moist brownie mix. (Brownies are great, but the top soil isn't.)

Plants also take infra-red lights. These lights can penetrate layers of leaves and got on your plant, if you put the plant outdoor under other trees. Also opposite as what people used to believe, plants also absorb a lot of green light. So the green light bounce around between leaves since leaves are green too, so the lower plant also absorbs that. However, if you put the plant indoor, all the lights are blocked by thick walls that any lights won’t be able to penetrate. So they actually received far less lights indoor even though your eyes can’t distinguish the difference (actually most of time our eyes also can distinguish the difference. Indoor environment is much darker than outdoor shaded area).

Thanks for the helpful video. Wish you could post the before pics :) Makes it a feel good video.

have you tried leaving it out in the wimter?

I have 10m of box hedge at the front and have been waging war on the Box Moth caterpillar the last couple of years. Chemical sprays and XenTari both work to an extent, but within several days you get more caterpillars developing, even after repeated treatments. In the end I switched to manual removal and removed over 3000 caterpillars one by one, over a period of 5-7 weeks. We're between cycles at present, but I've bought some butterfly netting to try to cover the hedge in order to reduce the next round of infestation. I think it's probably a war I cannot win, but in the meantime I'll keep trying. I have the XenTari pheromone trap out to spot when the moths come back for laying...

Thank you, I might be able to save my verrucosum ❤

yes! thank you much

Thank you for your video and sorry for your loss!!

Something I’ve noticed with cannas is that they seem to fry in the full sun lately. For me, at least. I live in San Diego. They do exceptionally well here, and I’ve always seen them as a full sun, water-loving plant. Yet the ones I experimented with, and moved to less sun, seem to grow better and look less ratty and destroyed! They get partial sun still, but not all day… Also, I’m wondering if they’re sensitive to hard water or fluoride, chlorine, etc., because they are in the order Zingiberales, along with gingers, Marantaceae (prayer plants), _Strelitzia_ (bird of paradise), bananas, heliconias, turmeric, etc. all of which are notoriously sensitive to hard or tap water. So I’ve started giving my canna only distilled or reverse osmosis water…and no brown edges! 😆 🙄

I have to repot all of mine today. It’s getting far into the season now. Lol. I have 'Cleopatra', 'Tropicanna' Durban, a black one, a striped one, and some others too. Did you know the common, basal species, _Canna edulis_ (with the red flowers and green leaves), is edible? The bulbs are like potatoes, hence the name _edulis_ apparently. 😂 Maybe more so in ancient history but I have eaten them before. Same with dahlias!

We haven't heard from you in a while. I hope you are OK.

As of July 2024, Xen Tari is still not available in the U.S. and unfortunately the Box Moth has arrived. I’ve not seen it here in Michigan but I want to be proactive if I see it in my landscape. My local nursery is no longer warranting new boxwood sales.

Thanks for the videos. Seeing this, I'm never going to plant mine in full soil. I'll keep it in a pot, with a dish under it. Is there a danger of propagation via dropped seed in Western European climate?

Thank you! Great info!

Can you spray the apple cider vinegar solution while there is aphid infestation? You mention Autumn, Winter or very very early Spring. Can I do it whenever I want?

Thank you! I’ve always wanted one of these and I finally have the room for it… but I think I’ll first find a really big pot for it.

I used thus last year and it did work. Definitely recommend it. Just need to keep a watch for the first signs.

I just bought Alocasia regal shield for a full sun area in zone 8a in US (north Carolina) . I am planning to put it in ground for a full sun spot and getting nervous if it work out

How it can be toxic? In which way?

Did they bother you in the house? I hear they can bite

thank you, very helpful

I’m here because my pothos’ roots started getting mushy and the tips of their leaves are starting to yellow and brown :( I live in Canada and a couple of days prior to me noticing the rotting of the roots and yellowing of the leaves, sunlight was scarce. I have to move them all to a large window just now facing outside, hoping daylight might save them. I’ll be heartbroken if they die :( It’s been 3 weeks of me propagating them in water and they’re also very slow in rooting. It’s so challenging to take care of tropical plants in a non-tropical country!!

I bought a bulb and have planted it over a month ago but no results so far. Can you clarify if I need to cover the entire bulb with soil? I currently have the top exposed.

Just curious how long it took from planting for roots etc to start emerging? Thanks!

Well done, this is beautiful!

Plz tell me when castor seeds is on plant and it's reddish colour seeds buds ..when it to plug to get castor seeds

Thanks very educational for someone about to plant these out en mass!

I have already bought enough for 18 litres of spray (£20) and have used it all…..but there are still caterpillars hatching out! I have purchased another £20 supply and will use that in a couple of weeks time. This looks as if it’s going to become an expensive business!!!

Really useful thanks. Just about to get another of these!

Lovely, I hope you are feeling better now too

I kept my alocasia odoras on balcony with partial sunrays being on them for 12 hours a day and all the leaves got burned :(. I moved it to otherside of the balcony this year and we are going to see how they will perform. If they dont perform very well, il probably get some kind of big cloth for balcony that will filter the light, but still provide direct sunlight.

Amazing plant I want one, but .. I have silly questions: did runners go to your neighbour garden ?

How did they turn out next spring?

So how did they turn out? Does the shaded one keep its white edges? 😏 I just got mine delivered..

Hi! So much thanks for sharing my article and referring to the source. Much appreciated 🙏 This is a robusta indeed. Greenish color and fronts that are not cut out more than half way gives it away. However, there are a lot of hybridizations out there, in different degrees. It could have some filifera blood as the petioles lack the purple color but it has all the other characteristics so clearly that I wouldn’t say that this is a filibusta. Keep up the good work. 👍🏻

Could you pretty please make a video on all care requirements, needs and information on the black magic plamt please

I enjoy your videos. Glad I found you.

I was making both of these mistakes. Thank you for the info!!

Thanks so much do you have an other social media like Instagram I can follow to support?
