Hi Kristen My Ravenala are still small - most only have 2 leaves and a couple have three. But they all look happy. They have never been outside...
LongK - I have several. Blue and white australe (which I gather is now an Eriolarynx), three cyanea colours and a coccinea. They are all losing...
Longk - I didn't make myself clear higher up in the thread. I was refering to the list of my rankings. However I have since found the last list I...
An update. Within a couple of days of its completion, my Garden Room was filled with overwintering plants. I am even stacking pots on top of other...
Year.. Last frost..First frost...Lowest temp ..........in spring...in autumn...in following ...............................................winter...
Pascal - thats a wonderful structure. I am very envious of the size but not envious of your climate zone of 3b. Do you heat it over the winter at all?
Pete - yes, I suspect the video method needs to be done in autumn. Which, as you say, raises the question of how you look after them over the...
Great Sal, and interesting that it survived outside. Lets keep pictures and information on bananas coming on this thread. I have decided to...
Yes :snork: I am currently looking at the videos again - when I noticed your post. I think I made a mistake. I cut the roots off. I was...

Yes , I am going to have a go at propagating one Sal. This time last year I bought 5 good sized Ensete Maurelii for £10 - B&Q had reduced them...
Kristen - you have prompted me to find some videos on propagating Ensete Maurelii, as I have been interested in that for some time. I think its...
Kristen raised a good point on another thread, about how to propagate Ensete Maurelii - but I thought it warranted a specialised thread here on...
Thanks LongK. I have never hear of Auctiva before - but had a look on e-bay and seen lots of Tacca seeds from Thailand. Also I saw rhizomes for...
Yes - Good luck Kristen, I think I will try again this year. You are quite right LongK, freshness seems to be very important for tropical seeds....
Strongy - thats a brilliant picture - its one of the most spectacular of all plants. Your figure of 4 years is a helpful guide as I knew it...
The problem I had with my Garden Room is that I wanted the maximum external dimensions that I could squeeze into the space, but thick walls really...
Thanks Shiney
