Kevin Scales up at Stalham, north east of Norwich, uses Rhodochiton to good effect, scrambling up through his Trachycarpus. Definitely on my wish list for use with palm trunks icon_thumright I'm trying this this year, It was one that I kept from last year and has just started growing again. I hope ...

Trying these from seed now, they have been sown for about 2 months but haven't had any luck so far. I do like these and like Karl lost one a while back and couldn't understand why mine died when everyone else was reporting theirs was growing. Anyway, if my seeds decide to germinate, I shall be thril...

Hello, nice to see you all again. It just ain't the same without this forum. Missed it. Still checked in everyday just in case x

You should get some this year Otorongo. I'm sure I got some the same year as sowing, but it was a while ago so could be seeing through rose tinteds.

Hi Tim, just caught up with this thread, and am guessing that it is a Dracaena Draco that you've got. I've just bought my seedling out of the greenhouse and looks very much like yours does.

There was a beautiful red one which I used to admire on the way to work, but the ...

I'm afraid I'm sticking up for the Taiwaniana, mainly because it's still with me and growing well now after that bad Winter and I'm thinking/hoping if it can get through that Winter, it will be fine from now on and only get bigger and stronger as the years go on. As for the Rhododendrifolia, it's be...

You did well Steve. Good luck with your overwintering, you should have some nice sized plants come Summer

I don't think banana seeds, cannas and the like, mind much what they are germinated in as long as they have enough moisture, heat and air. Mine tend not to be in the prop long as I usually pot on pretty quickly anyway once they have germinated (probably quicker than most do) but that's just my way. ...

Both San, but all fell through the day before signing - first in the chain, so have to stay here for a while. Was left with a dug up garden and winter on its way
