as the title says im a total newbie at these sorts of plants , ive watched all of yorkshire kris videos and read of many different ways to store plants on here but need some advice on what would be the best method for me to use on a colocasia and a musa basjoo. here is the colocasia i got free with ...

thanks for these videos - very informative .

been going for about four or five days now, its in very free draining soil with lots of grit and perlite.

got on last year, as it was only small I kept it in a pot it didnt really do anything growth wise and over the winter it lost virtually all its leaves but this year it has really recovered well, so now I have put it in the ground and am training it as a multi stemmed climber.

got mine at a plant fair in april and it only had one leaf has taken a while to get going but is going well now ,
seven pups on it but a couple of these are above ground ?? is that normal ?

bought my first Cycas revoluta in april for a fiver from a plant fair . mines just started flushing as well.

they got them in mine in banbury so must be pretty much nationwide

used to have a couple living under our shed , used to feed it the occasional bit of cat food - they love it but boy are they noisy eaters .
havent seen it all this year though

like the blue fence mate , anything apart from brown or that horrible green that seems to be all over the place gets a thumbs up from me.

no,don't think its that deal, think they are australis . it says they are reduced from 50 quid but I've never seen ones as big as these in home base at any price before

went in my local home base today and they had loads of cordylines which were 7 / 8 foot tall for 25 quid , very nice big trunks on them , they looked a absolute bargain. normally I buy first and then worry about where I will put it when I get home but these were just too big for me to do that this t...

bit of both really , i suffer from a bad back so container gardening is best for me and the roots on the magnolia i chopped are as thick as my arm and basically cover the whole area im planning on renovating (and further as i found out when erecting my greenhouse) so getting plants into the ground i...

cheers for the reply , glad you think it would be ok. tbh ive already bought the basjoo - got it from a plant fair a few weeks ago its about 4 foot in its pot at the moment it was only a tenner so thought it must be worth a go but want it in the ground (bed ) as a main focal rather than keeping it i...

hi all , ive just cut down a massive magnolia grandiflora that was a pain to keep in check and was taking up far too much of my garden. i now want to start getting some more interesting plants in its place . i have taken the stump down to below soil level but the root system is massive and i really ...

i know this is a old thread but just signed up to say many thanks for these plans , built them exactly as described and the staging is fantastic , one little thing though - i used 40mm screws not 50mm as it says on the original plans . 50mm are too big for screwing the frame together and will come s...
