Get the slow drip hose from lowes, keeps your plants happy.
They're called seeper soakers, harbor freight has them for 10 bucks!
He's back! Yay! We missed you Paul but know you're super busy with the new baby. Lovin the green, purple and burgundy mix. I have the same in my FL garden and it's truly *chef's kiss*
I have those purple plants in Jamaica - they indeed thrive on neglect lol
I have the cordlyne in Jamaica too, yes regularly get to 10ft. I planted two already at my new house and I have like a dozen potted to plant out later. They are really hardy and really easy to make new ones.
This is one of the video serie I wait for and enjoy the most! Keep doing it Paul you killin' it!! Earth is my planet ;P
I’m all about the birds of paradise 🧡
A new Plantu! Dawg. those banana trees will get huge in that moist corner. The fruits are small and seedy, inedible but still cool for the tropic vibe. It's best u put those canna in a temp logged in bed cuz the tubers spread. They say fall is the best time to plant shrubs and trees. "Urth es ma Plont"
Amazing job! You've given me the incentive to risk it and plant my tropicals in the ground, here in san antonio, I have everything in pots and move them all to my garage in the winter cause I don't wanna lose them, I'm gonna try this year since I've been propagating some of my plants to save some during those unespected freezes, thank you
19:00 amazing! coming along nicely. I didn’t realize Houston could house so many subtropical plants 👍🏾
WOW! I love it!
Looking good!!!
DUDE I live in waco and kid you not - I put those mystic blue spires behind some carex in my front bed too! They get a good ol afternoon blasting and they lovvvvvve it. I prune often and they're pretty much full bushes now lol. Good luck!
They’re such good plants man!!! Great minds think alike!!
Thank you!! I live in Houston too so valuable info!!!
Love bird of paradise 👌
I can’t wait to see everything after it grows!! Unfortunate about the freeze taking out your first plants from this garden area.
Great plantings. Take care tho with thick mulch like that. Easy for the root ball to come in contact too much with it. Causes drying out. Also ties up nitrogen and starves or "burns" plants.
Looks awesome! And yo from Dallas!
“These guys thrive on neglect.” Same Purple Hearts….same.
Gorgeous!
🥇
Awesome video man! Looking forward to do this in my backyard
Thanks for the inspiring greenery!
Another good purple shrub for Houston is lorapetalum. It has hot pink flowers.
It's also called Chinese fringe flower. There might be different colors on the flowers nowadays.
I had these for almost 20 years.
My Turks cap plants left me some seedlings after Harvey & the big freeze. Those are tough!
Get a Vitex tree, it’s grows quickly and it’s aaaaalways full of pollinators. Mine grew from a tiny shrub to 8 ft in one year.
I have two on the property!! The flowers are awesome
Looks so good already! Love your videos.
You are right about the banana plants soaking up the water. However, you need a protected place ( Southside) to get bananas. I've never gotten any but it had produced the flowers just could not make it thru winter. Love the Salvia, tradescantia, all of it! 🤞👍
AWESOME makeover! I am in Zone 7 and have a lot of part shade/afternoon sun areas too. I love the tropical vibe you have created and I think canna and salvia will do great in my area too. Thanks for spreading the plant planet love! PS. Congrats on baby!
Thank you so much for the love and watchign!
looks great. you need some bonsai. if you were closer i would hook you up
Great job I look forward to seeing how it all matures, and I’m excited to have found a new garden/plant Chanel near my area. I’m just 50 miles south of you😃near the coast.
Awesome, thanks for the support! Yeah near the coast you may be able to get away with planting zone 10 tropical
@@paulplantu yes we don’t always freeze here. But the last 2 years we have. I’m hoping we don’t freeze this year so I don’t have to scramble to move plants. My husband and I always procrastinate with moving my plants, I have way too many that are not freeze hardy.
I live just south of Fort Worth and I have the Purple Heart in my backyard and they multiply like crazy plus you can break them off at the stem and put them in the ground and they will root! Your yard looks amazing
Yeeesssssss!!!😊😮💪👍✌️
Very nice glad to be a new sub.
earth is my planet
Hey Paul. Hope your regularly watering the Carex. They don’t like to dry out. They are one of the easiest to grow. You have to keep in mind what can be under planted under trees bcz most tree roots zap water from other plants. That’s probably why they are dying especially those that require moisture. Surprised why you don’t plant ferns. They spread quickly & easy care.
You’re right I wasn’t watering then at all 😂 They’re looking good now though! I don’t plant germs because they tend to spread a little too much for my liking
1:30 when that bug climbs up you.
I literally jumped bc I thought it was on my screen lol
you could plant another small tree "over there" to block that setting sun.
I looked at you viedo, loved it. What didn't you loose during the winter freeze? I'm in Humble 9a and although I covered just about everything I lost most of my plants and fruit trees!!!
Hi paul
56 seconds ago? lol
hiya!
My gardenias are about 15 years old and are doing well in medium shade under an oak tree. The flowers are amazing!
I also suggest silver dragon (or similar) variegated liriope. Fabulous green shades complemented by the white stripes along the leaves. They're small and long lasting.
I couldn't get bird of paradise plants to live.
However my calla lilies did super well!
Salvias come in so many colors! Amazing for this area.
I've grown pink ones & red ones, which reseed.
Do you stay in the Houston area? My gardenias died when the freeze hit
I have tht plant a few of em some do good others not so well
Dang that sucks about the huchera, I have that same variety and they are thriving in my partial shade garden
I love the bird of paradise! But If they won't get full sun where you planted them they won't bloom well for you 😔 I'd consider moving it if it won't get enough sun before they get established. My grandparents planted theirs where it was sunny, but their palm trees grew large and shaded them so they no longer bloomed, I moved them into full sun and they bloomed a few months later.
I planted them there more for foliage than flowers but I may buy another to plant in full sun for the flowers like you suggested! Thanks for the advice
@@paulplantu otherwise you can always wait till they multiply and divide a few
Yucca plants can be a skin irritant to people. They're also known to be toxic to pets. They look so pretty though!
Need some Alocasia!
Bruh def gotta be from the bay 💯 😂😂😂
Please, I need the info on the camera you are using
Where is your tagline from?

I will never buy huecheras again. Mine lasted a couple months and then completely died back :(
Yeah I’m not sure if it was me not doing something right or them
Been a subscriber for a long time, but I'm OUT, YOU WONT STOP WITH THE SHOOTING GUN THING at the end of your videos. What are you shooting at?
