Hey all,
I'm a newbie to gardening and the site. I'm going for an exotoic type garden and already have palms growing along side banana trees etc. I look forward to getting more advice on how to keep my plants looking there best, especially towards winter.

I have Japanese banana trees and a red banana plant. I'm planning on setting up a temp greenhouse to winter all these including the palms.

Hello. I look forward to seeing your garden develop. Its very formal and contemporary in design compare to most tropical gardens I see. I admire these style of gardens but I can't do them; I would be out adjusting each pot every two minutes and moving pots so plants matched in growth rates.
