Canna lives in water and looks very healthy, happy and gorgeous When I watched this video and saw that the amazing canna is a plant that can live in water, I felt very happy
Great videos on tropicals and container flowers!!! Would love to see some how to videos on setting up a mini pond and how to place plants in them. Some of the best gardening advice videos Ive seen after watching about a thousand!!!!
Canna lilies and elephant ears can take a good amount of frost, as they are grow as perennials up to southern Missouri. I'm in southern Louisiana where they are invasive and grow on bayou and lake banks. They can be grown in zones 6-10 as perennials. My grandmother who is in St Louis has cannas and colocasias and in October she cuts them to the ground and puts about and inch of mulch on top of them, and in May they come back up again. I'm in zone 9a and they die to the ground in mid December and we don't do anything to winterize them. They typically come back up in March.
I wanted to grow some cannas but was worried about them being invasive I'm in the west Midlands in zone 9a do you think it would be ok to plant them in the ground as we do get some cold winters
I pull up my cannas every fall before the first freeze and wrap the rhizome in newspapers and package them up in a cardboard box. I put them in my basement. they keep well as long as you put them away dry. plant again in spring. very easy to maintain. You don't need to let them die.
Thank you for your message. We agree that it's a waste to treat cannas plants as annuals. In Part 4 (th-cam.com/video/5cp89uONKfU/w-d-xo.html), we explain how to overwinter the plants, so it's definitely an option we'd encourage. And we are so happy to hear replant yours every year! Happy gardening!
Such stunning arrangements of colors the dark red against the flourescent green. I have problems of finding plants types for an attractive arrangement for my garden. And Im tired of hostas. This video helps tq.
That's a huge waste to just treat them as annuals; everyone who buys Cannas and Elephant Ears should know how to make them go dormant or keep them as house plants.
People complaining that he's cutting the plants.....he said at the beginning if the video frost was coming that night and they are getting ready to put all these plants away so they're gonna get chopped anyway
How about the cool weather we're having? Feels a little tropical! It's about to get up to the 30s this weekend, so enjoy it while you can ☀️ #tropicalplants #canna #cannalily #alocasia #colocasia #Kelowna
Thanks Lizz! That plant right behind Kirsten (light green leaves with dark green stripes) is Canna Lily "Pretoria" (similar to Canna Lily "Tropicanna Gold"). Happy gardening! -Christina
This is the only video that I've found saying the these elephant ears can be grown in just plain water. Thank God when my plant grows huge I want it in living the room for show. Am I supposed to put some type of fertilizer in the water ? Someone please tell me what to do, I want. My plants to thrive.
Hi from UK zone 9. Got canna Tropicana and gold plugs in pots still about 4-inch height (may 9), can't do much about the sun but how often should I water them? Thank you.
Hi Paolo! These plants love water, so the more the better! We have some of ours sitting in water, that's how much they love it :) We also put ours under a canvas shade to avoid direct sunlight, but they are in a bright area. Hope this helps! ~The Greenery
Hi Teresa. Our annual crops of elephant Ears are started from small plugs, and planted in the beginning of August the previous year, and grown in the greenhouse all winter. The ones seen in the video were our own personal plants that we had over wintered and were two years old. Happy Gardening!
Sara Akthar Hi I'm in Southampton, this is my first winter with two poted cannas (tropicanna and gold) they are about 50cm or 20inch. Will be nice to compare notes... Hope to hear from you.
Ok my cannas ( from plugs in march 20017) were in water for summer but moved indoors for winter next to a window but not close to a radiator. waiting for spring to divided and using a bigger pot, also gonna try netted pot for the new growth. Canna gold is much bigger but I don't know why? Will be good to hear about yours.
I'm in south FL, and wanting to add a large statement plant to my garden. I see 4-ft high alocasias at the garden center-- can I put one in a containerr as long as it gets sufficient moisture?
I know I'm in the minority, but I find it cruel and really horrible to treat wonderful tropical plants as annuals. Now that orchids and so many other exquisite plants are so inexpensive, this trend has caught on. I can remember my grandmother cherishing her geraniums and taking them in each year for winter and I do the same. How sad that people just throw away gorgeous plants.
+tomo kitty Thank you for your message. You bring up great points and we would agree that it's a waste to treat tropical plants as annuals. In Part 4 (th-cam.com/video/5cp89uONKfU/w-d-xo.html), we explain how to overwinter the plants, so it's definitely an option we'd encourage. Happy gardening!
+tomo kitty They are plants.... in nature there are lots of annuals that grow, die in the first snow fall, and their left over seeds re-germinate in the spring.
I watched this video 3 times. Have got my self an alocasia and will order canna lillies soon for the pond.

Watching this for the nth time and probably the reason why I'm so into plants with huge foliage - Tracy (currently using my Ma's phone rn lol)
That snipping sound is kinda satisfying

@@JB-lr1tf they would be fine in zone 9a. I have great luck with them in my garden. They can spread a lot, though.
I will give it a try how much spread are we talking
@@JB-lr1tf my canna clumps typically double in size every year.
@@ShadowNight-kt3dz ok thank you I will give it a go 😊

People complaining that he's cutting the plants.....he said at the beginning if the video frost was coming that night and they are getting ready to put all these plants away so they're gonna get chopped anyway
When you plant them in water, what kind of planting media do you use?
I agree with you tomorrow kitty. I hate going in Home Depot and Walmart the way they discard their plants.

very interesting
Ha! I live in Durban, South Africa! And there is a Pretoria here too. I wonder if the plant names derive from the same origin?

No need to cut.. So long time to wait the leaves grow..
En serio? Es necesario cortar las hojas y tallos de estas maravillosas plantas solo para el vídeo? Me duele …aunque agradezco la explicación
Great episode, very informative but the music is distracting and irritating!
Cana lili di tempat saya namanya tumbuhan ganyong wulung..waktu th 1982 di halaman rumah banyak sekali

Hi Allison! Yes, alocasias will do well in a container. They love water and will do well in your area :) Happy Gardening!
Thank you!
