Everyone I speak to tells me it's not a long term prospect here but I'll enjoy it while it lasts. 😄 It seems to have fully recovered from the spear pull without any intervention. I think I'll tie the fronds together this winter to add protection to the growing point.
@@greatnorthernexotic sounds like a plan! Keeping it dry, as you do, obviously works really well. I’m growing my large seedlings into decent sized plants before doing something similar
Great looking bed. Opuntia polyacantha, Opuntia engelmanii, Opuntia fragilis and Opuntia polyacantha x fragilis 'Smithwick' also grow really well for me. The one you forgot the name of is the Echeveria imbricata, commonly sold at B&Q in the outdoor section. Would definitely call Washingtonia filifera an arid plant since it grows in deserts in nature, even the robusta is from semi-arid and dry Mediterranean regions. Yucca filamentosa isn't a desert species though so maybe would do better if you moved it to another part of your garden if it's struggling
I definitely feel inpired to grow some arid plants after watching this😊
🤘😄
The arid bed is looking really class mate. Full marks from me 👏👍
Thanks mate. Always inspiring to see the progress of your front garden planting over on insta.
Personally I love the filibuster and think it fits in well in the arid bed. I hope it gets through winter without spear pulling this time!

We have made an arrid bed do you not put any soil round the plants? We have put a torbay palm in our bed but put it in an open tub with soil
