Hi Kev,

I'm no expert on these but it does look a bit pale What sort of container is it in, I can't quite make it out? Is it in an aquatic pot in a pond or an ordinary square pot out of the water. If the latter has it got holes in.

Great minds think alike Tatter. Yes they do look rather splendid. How big has yours grown.

Just to remind people living in the midlands the above show is on. I went yesterday and had a good day out. Plenty to see and buy, the only disappointment were the show gardens . Still worth a look. icon_thumright I acquired the following all for £4.00 each Echium Wildprettii, Ladybird Poppy, Acanth...

Hi Darren, Lovely to hear from you again, hope you are well. I to will not be taking you up on your offer. I am still planting out palms you gave me years ago! :lol: I'm so glad you posted this, years ago you sent me some seedlings from seed you got from Max unfortunately I could not read the note y...

There have been people talking about it on Facebook tropical groups last year. A guy sells it via his Facebook shop. I have bought air plants from him. He's worth supporting as he is a local independent business. I saw an article on some award he won last year. I think he got paralysed from the che...

I was recently on the IPS site and they were talking about Spanish moss. I thought it looked a bit jungle like, can it be grown in this country? If so does any one know were to buy it from.

Thanks Jason.

I'm sure tatter is right, however I have never used ether due to its exorbitant prices. ( I don't like to wast money.) :lol: However for root growth you need a fertiliser with plenty of phosphorous, always useful when putting out new plants in the garden . This applies to most plants not just palms....

I use a 6 month slow release fertilizer, put it on in the spring feeds the plant all summer long. Available from all garden centres.

My advice on buying them is, don't. If your any thing like me you will kill them! :roll: :lol: Remember what Andy Cap used to say, "If at first you don't succeed pack it in and don't be a Charlie". icon_thumright . icon_scratch Not sure what happened there. So good I posted Thrice. icon_su...

I'm with Grev on this one I would never use high nitrogen on any thing. I the only time I have used high nitrogen was when I was a market gardener and we used to use it on overwintered cabbage etc to green it up a bit and put a spring in its step so to speak. I would not use it in the garden. icon_t...

Chez is right but 2 items further back you can get them in a 3 litre pot for only £2.00 extra.

Hi Dorothy,

When I couldn't find any locally I got some off eBay. Hope that helps. And yes the site is a shadow of its former self.

Regards Jason.
