Fantastic boss. My sister bought us a national trust pass, so rinsing that while we are here. Places where we probably wouldn't have gone to, but are going to !

Inbetween a sandwich plates and dinner plate ! Huge

@NinjaTeaDrinker yes I agree they don't hold the leaves very long, but create quite an impact. I would never put in the ground though as have seen how big these get.

@@GrowTropicalMK ah! I might get one, do they still get big leaves in a pot longterm?

@NinjaTeaDrinker not too sure, but does seem happy in the pot at least for now, the pot it came in was fairly small. It has doubled in size since I purchased around 1 year ago.

@Gtumrths Thanks it has grown a lot more since this vid !

Thanks. So many of these are having real issues, whereas the tropical style plants and trees are not. Very strange, really.

I think I have 50 % now in pots. It is great ... as you said an instant bamboo Grove:-)

Cheers boss!!

@jonzacha807 welcome advice. I will add manure, but I can't eat that many eggs in time 😢

@@geesgardeningclubuk5247 Malarkey is definitely the word for it!

I thought it smells of oranges when the leaves are rubbed?

​@NinjaTeaDrinker haha some have suggested that, but i have never smelt an orange that smells this bad 😂 it really is repulsive, but only when disturbed.

Oh blimey, I bought one plant and have split it up around the garden 😂. I think salvia amistad stinks when disturbed, like trying to get it stand back up again but others say it doesn't 🤷🏼‍♀️😂​I also love cordylines but absolutely hate the smell when in flower, so I've planted 5 at this new house 😬@@GrowTropicalMK

@NinjaTeaDrinker I love the smell of cordyline flowers and the Salvia, apart from my amistad does not appear to smell at all, just all the others:-) I had the Fish mint in my garden until someone told me about the smell, one rub, one sniff and it was in the bin !

Iv always know this plant as Chameleon, and mine has spread like mad wish i kept it in the pot

Thanks and my deepest condolences for your Ensette :-(

@@GrowTropicalMK hahaha👍🏼

I think have both as the ensette likely won't get through a harsh winter. Although my larger one has been outside since the end of January.

Thanks much appreciated 👏

Thanks much appreciated, yes Sylvia's are great for colour and thanks for letting me know how reliable they are. This is only my second year of growing them.

@@GrowTropicalMK Oh, interesting. They are hardy for you then? They are not for me so I take cuttings in the fall and hold them over in the house for 5 or 6 months. It is a bit of a pain but I find them that valuable. Cheers.

@@Sharonadams717 thanks much appreciated 👏

@NinjaTeaDrinker you can never have too many :-) Thanks for the comment. I actually don't notice much of a smell coming from the Amistad probably because it is the middle of the bed, but the red one really has a pleasant scent and is near entrance to my garden.

@TheCornishCottageGarden-bs5lf thanks I am sure these dull days will reverse soon!

Thanks. Yes pots are the way to go for a while, but they need to be upgraded in size otherwise the bamboo drains all the nutrients given time. I am only going to plant clumping in the ground from now on.

@@GrowTropicalMK I'm with you there!

@NinjaTeaDrinker yes do i will watch for sure.! I am a complete novice as far as greenhouses are concerned, so I hope all goes well!

It's awesome I love the way after doing nothing for ages it just suddenly started creeping out!

Unfortunately, so! I believe you can collect the seeds, though, so I will be looking to do that.

@GrowTropicalMK Well that's easy enough. Kinda like zinnias. Cool!

Thanks much appreciated. Thr pleioblastus is a funny one and have identified that it really doesn't like a sunny spot and does better in the shade. I have loads of fargesia, but unfortunately, hardly any in the ground. What sort of heights does your get to?

@@GrowTropicalMK At a guess I would say easily 12 to 15 ft, thankfully not a runner.

Nice I would like to get a few different varieties in the ground, but will not be planting any more runners that for sure! My golden bamboo is roughly the same height.

Thanks I am glad it was helpful!

Thanks, appreciated! Please feel free to reach out.

@@GrowTropicalMK sweet as boss, sweet as

Thanks. I am just about to drop a video on dividing as need to reduce the amount in beds !

Haha yeah you are not wrong, since filming this a few hours back they have all closed!

I believe this will see off a light frost or two, but not much more.. I think I may have to bring in the house!

Cheers appreciated

100% in b&q they somtimes label it as mixed bamboo! No warning of running.

Thanks ever so much 😊 This is my second attempt at Euphorbia propagation. I cut the flowers off where the leaves start to look good. Apologies there are some inaccuracies in the video. Regrettably, I failed to water the plant pot beforehand, which likely diluted the Clonex solution when i heavilly doused it with water. There are likely other inaccuracies that I am unaware of!. The tote box must be kept in a location where it will not receive direct sunlight. The rooting process i reckon willl take six weeks, after which the plants maybe ready for planting.

But as you said, it probably doesn't need the rooting mix because they take easily 🤞 ​@@GrowTropicalMK

Yes tbf it doesn't I am thinking it may aid the process, but is not essential.

​@@GrowTropicalMKnot essential but increases your strike rate, i.e more cuttings will succeed

That's strange. I think my taiwaniana has one slug hole. This one has a leaf that's been nibbled, but that is it. They seem to be lovers of clay soil, but it is still early days for me !

I am currently constructing another trellis for the plant. I was unaware of their limited lifespan. The original plant was approximately four years old, while the new one that unexpectedly appeared is about a year old. I am hopeful that it will endure for a few more years.

I am actually hoping that mine does :-)
