Happy over-wintering! Hope you find the video useful. Part 2 coming soon... as I mention in my video, I do tend to start over-wintering slightly early so that I can show you how I do it 💚

Your videos have been a welcome distraction this year .thank you
This video make me more thankfull that I lived in Indonesia which is the sun always shining bright all year. But I admire your hard work every year just to make your garden beautiful like rain forest 👍
Thank you for sharing your garden and knowledge with is! This will be my first year over-wintering some of my tropical plants. Seeing you do it makes me less anxious about giving it a go!
Thank you! Love the size of your garden. This time of year makes me a little sad- just when everything looks so good - it’s time to say goodbye..
Melanie M That’s very true but then it’s quite exciting when Spring comes 💚🌿🌴🌺 I do love autumn too, nice and cosy 🤎🍁🍂🧡🎃🐻
Thank you for all your value able advice. love all your videos.
Thank you for sharing 😊how nice and great ideas of yours!!♥️💚😊😊
You have a very beautiful garden. I wish you happiness
Thanks so much for this really helpful video giving us the confidence to buy these wonderful exotics!
Anne Powell if you can grow them here in the Uk then anything is possible 😆😁🌺💚🌿🌴
Ive been waiting for this!!! Back to the video now😘
Lovely Garden’!’Thank you!👩🌾💚
Less grass, more PLANTS Hannah! Great, informative and very clear instructional video as always. My own garden is a jungle with just a path going through it because I love plants soooo much and have no time for grass but I am sure it will look fabulous next year no matter what you decide to do ... How about converting your shed into a tropical hut or building a tropical stream/waterfall/pond? Would love to see you do something like that.
Hi Hannah, this is awesome, thank you. You could pave your garden and expand the plant area at the back next to the shed in different levels which would look nice for displaying your plants. Or get a greenhouse then you can just put all the tender plants in there over winter😊
Hi Hannah-Your colocasia's done so well. I agree, the Lawns not worth the trouble given the recurrent problems. I'm planning on getting rid of most of mine this year and using it for more borders. I imagine you must have considered the same. Good luck whatever you decide. I'm sure you'll make a great job of it. Cheers
Carnage is the word Hannah, but it has be done I suppose. Those leaves were so stunning, and as always you did a great job. I learnt a lot about these plants in this video, thanks so much for sharing it !
I love caladium.. Prettiness. Goodluck
You have a very nice little jungle there! It is so neat and organized. As far as the grass situation, you could use football or soccer field turf. We have large dogs that are just lawn destroyers so we have considered that for small parts of the back yard here at home. Great video!
Thank you! In regards to the grass, I had it removed a few years ago, have a look at my recent videos and you’ll see how I have transformed the garden 🙃🌺🌼
Merci ce petit paradis.
Thank you so much for this!!!
lovely Hibiscus ..will be getting my first Caladium Party Punch tomorrow (so excited)..
Wow... Wonderful collections... As indonesian i even don't have so much tropical plants as yours...
taufik agus purnomo aw thank you 😁💚🌺🌴☀️
I live in the tropics... And you're garden looks more tropical than it is in here 😂 beautiful!
PS: you can use fresh Banana leaves as plates and even steam tofu or fish in it. Search "Paturi".
I love your yard and your videos. You have done so much with it. You are thinking about getting rid of grass I could see a winding path with a fountain and perhaps some unique sitting benches scattered about Although it will probably be much dryer and hotter if you remove the grass. Whatever you decide I’m sure it will be gorgeous
i love your garden
Wow...AWESOME
Great video, this is exactly what I have been preparing to do here in Oxford
Great garden, I am about to do the same here in Telford with Ensete, canna’s and other tender tropical.
Hi. Hope you're well. Great video :)
Hola amiga..siento que lo único que te falta es una cascada💧🌊... se te vería tan linda 💚🌱
Wow so many beautiful plants❤️
Perfect, thank you so much dear Hannah for this helpful Video 🙏💚🤗
Thankyou just what I needed to know , enjoyed that. Look forward to part 2
I've been too scared to bring my indoor alocasia and caladiums into dormancy but your video has been SOOO helpful! Thank you for sharing your process.
My alocasia don’t usually go dormant.. I keep them as Houseplants all year. I’ll be chopping back a few of my indoor caladiums tomorrow... that’s what my video is on this week 🌿
So beautiful arrangements
I live in the sub tropics and your garden looks better than mine. Something to aspire to though!
Anna that made me laugh! What a compliment 😁🌴🌺 Where do you live? ☀️
@@TropicalPlantAddict I live across the river from New Orleans in the USA!
Your garden is like a Paradise! Please add variegated Canna ' Schduagert' next year♥️
Thank you very much for this video ! I just found your channel ! I Already lost one red banana and don't want to loose another one . I know now what to do. And I also growing Colocasia for first time. Hopefully I have enough info to overwinter them . Thank you !
Great tips, thanks for sharing 😊
Very informative video! I really love your garden❤️
So brave chopping the leaves off your lovely plants. I tend to leave one of my Colocassia in the ground over winter here in Devon. It will gradually die back and I cover it with fern fronds to protect the bulb over the winter and cut back any dead leaves.
This is my first time watching you and I Much enjoyed it.💕 A suggestion on your lawn , Laura Eubanks is great on lawn 🌿 relandscaping. You may enjoy her videos. Have a great day!🌴
Old man winter is starting to come upon us, soon....
Chrystal Sabin 🧡🍁🍂🤎
Lovely video Hannah - again your garden is just gorgeous and if you lived in Australia, maybe WA or QLD you could leave your beautiful plants in the ground all year round :D - just saying lol.......
I never even considered keeping tropical plants outside in the Uk, didn't think it would be possible. i feel even more Exited for when i get my own garden, knowing i can grow some of my favorite plant species outside!
So much space for huge plants like yours, You have done such a good job :D
Poofacelady thank you! A lot of people don’t realise that you can create a tropical style garden in the UK 🇬🇧 🌺🌴☀️
@@TropicalPlantAddict Its amazing. I bought my first Calladium yesterday and found your channel through your Caladium care video. They are stunning! and i hope mine comes back that strong next year.
You have my dream garden, and I live in the Caribbean 😂 For now I have an apartment with a small balcony full of plants. Hopefully by next year I’ll have a backyard and I’ll be taking inspiration from you in every single corner!
anygabby oh wow you live in the Caribbean!! Amazing! I wish lol 💚🌴🌺
سلم
Very informative..Thank you hannah
Your cannas seem to blum every year my didn't bloom any specific food, what a beautiful arrangement of leaves, thanks for sharing!
You've definitely got another cultivar of Caladium in amongst your Caladium 'Red Flash '- beautiful red colour 😊
ThePlantaholic I’m not sure as it didn’t look like that last year… It looked exactly the same as my other one. Very strange 💚🌿
@@TropicalPlantAddict that is strange 🤔 Maybe it should be a new cultivar called 'Hannah's Red'? 🤣
ThePlantaholic ha ha let’s see what it does next year 😁🌿💚
@@TropicalPlantAddict maybe it got more or less sun exposure and that's why changed the coloration :))
Sophie yes I thought it may be due to it getting more sun ☀️
I have a friend who is considering planting/replacing her lawn with a few different more hardier plants like creeping clover.
So.many plants in this video is from Indonesia..such as..culucusia in indonesia we call them with senthe..and some of calladium we call them keladi..of you visit our country..you Will find so uniqe plants..
Maybe you could get rid of the lawn and replace it with wood chips or you could replace the lawn with stepping stones
what a great video hopefully i will add some tropical plants to my garden next year where did you get your tiki bar cover its so much better than a tarpaulin .
Thank you! I had the cover custom-made from a garden furniture cover store… I’m sorry I can’t remember the name as it was years ago now 😭🌴
Hi Hannah, thanks for the vid very informative, at the moment I'm hanging on everyone's word with how and when to store ensete bananas.ooh it was my 59th yesterday and guess what l got......No not a toucan a sloth 🙂 very exotic🤣
Instead of lawn, have sand? Deck chairs? Thanks for the over wintering tips x
Here we use those leaves to cook
Watching your video you said The UK so that answered that question. So, most or all you took to overwinter were bulbs and when you replant in spring they will regrow to the size I saw today? That's pretty amazing. All your plants look great.
Please do not get rid of the lawn. Aerate and scarify now with a good feed ion Spring (with the odd bit of weed management). You don't need an 'obsessed' lawn, but a well maintained green lawn is the heart of an English garden. A bit of effort this month will pay off handsomely in Spring.
John Jones yes I did all that in spring then treated with beneficial nematodes to help get rid of the leatherjacket grubs. It didn’t work so I’m assuming they will be back every year to destroy my lawn 😞 I applied 5 boxes of grass seed this year but it just kept getting destroyed by the grubs. I’ll try aerating etc again
👍👍 do you have curry leaves plants in your garden pls?
I'm surprised you don't grow the frog in the blender caladium indoors like your red flash caladium!!
Praying Dantist I was but then I ran out of room 🌿
My recommendation is thar you should get rid of the lawn. Because here in the uk the weather is up and down so this just don't keep the lawn happy. I would recommend you to have artificial grass
The Red Flash Caladium was probably more red than the one grown indoors because it was more stressed outside. I grow a lot of succulents that grow into beautiful pinks and oranges when stressed outside but it does them no harm.
Awesome video hannah as usual. Starting over wintering this weekend, thanks for the invaluable help looking forward to the next one. Do l have to start all my plants off in pots in the spring or could they go straight back into the ground in spring 🤔
Lee Jones I start my caladiums and esculenta in pots inside around March time until May/June when I put them outside 🌿
Love your videos. Please can I ask how old is your red abbysinian? Thanks
Great info! Do you not need to let callocasias leaves like spring blooming bulbs? Could you also cut them down and mulch over like you mentioned doing with another plant?
Is the banana tree that you said is huge....is it a musa? It must be heartbreaking to have to remove such gorgeous leaves. When do you put these plants back in your garden? I live in California and the winters are fairly mild here. Your outdoor plants always look incredible! I am always blow away with how large and green your plants are......I didn't think that they would get that huge in the UK. Stay safe. 🌸
Janine Loftin yes it’s a musa b 💚 It’s not too bad as they all start growing back March/April time 😊🌿
When will we get part 2?
Evenings hannah, should l still water my tree fern over the winter months worried it will damage it with frost. Thanks lee
What kind of sun light do them elephant ears get in your garden ?
I’m going to leave my colocasia black leaf in the ground, see what happens 👀
Please don't...they will die
I believe some other people on the south coast that don’t pull them up so I’m going to see what happens. I certainly don’t want to have to pull it up every year so I’m going to cover it over well and see how it goes. 🤞🏼
I have been looking for them..so when I see you risking it I am scared they will die. I live in Denmark and I would not dare it
Mungu Akubariki the leaves are so big and stunning I can’t face pulling it all out the ground. I certainly don’t have the patience to do it every year. So wish me luck 😂. We barely got any frost last year where I am and no snow (climate change is having quite an effect here)
Fill the yard up with beach sand🤣😂 prob expensive but it would def fit ur tropical vibe!!
*Dani*Ryan * tempting 😆🌺🌴
@@TropicalPlantAddict I suggested this to my husband years ago but he was scared our yard would turn into the neighborhood litter box😂🤣... we have a privacy fence now so maybe I'll try and talk him into it again!
*Dani*Ryan * ha ha I don’t think it would fare too well over winter either 😆☔️
@@TropicalPlantAddict prob not ..especially since I have 2 large oak trees that cover my yard in a billion leaves in the fall. I'd hate to try to keep that sand clean... and the rain..😲just thought about what a nasty mess that would be!! Love your videos! Ive learned sooo much about taking care of my caladiums from you😘❤🌱
Those leaves you cutted looks so pretty, what are you going to do with them?
What if you let the rhizome re-absorb the nutrients from the leaves and roots before digging it out? Does it works with colocasias and Caladiums as it does with bulbs when they go dormant?
Thanks Hannah.. that was super informative... do you over winter your indoor caladiums.. if so please show us how.. if not tell us too.. thanks... look forward to the next part
P.s l live in Abu Dhabi..l have 2 canna plants in my apartment but neither of them bloomed all summer...
heebs1421 yes the indoor caladiums start going dormant October/November. I over-winter them the same as my outdoor ones. Hmm maybe your Canna was not getting enough sun 🌞
@@TropicalPlantAddict your right Hannah... even though l have huge floor to ceiling windows and live in sunny Abu Dhabi, my windows are black reflective glass and north facing...
heebs1421 oh no that’s a shame although the windows sound amazing! Also using tomato feed can help to encourage flowers 💚🌺
@@TropicalPlantAddict thanks good the tomato feed tip... here is a link to my abu Dhabi apartment plant tour...if you have some time to kill...😉
ruclips.net/video/xh6ckg9VPDw/видео.html
I have alot more plants now and will make an updated plant your video soon
What part of the world do you live in to have such beautiful, healthy tropicals????
I’m in south east UK 🇬🇧 🌴
my hibiscus dont get any flowers onley big leaves they are in indoores whay is so
Thanks for this video. My Ensete is still small, is it safe to keep indoors please?
I've heard of overwintering caladiums in the soil... They can simply be left in the pot, even in room temperature but in a darker place, and in early spring repotted to a new soil mix. Do you rec such an overwintering method, Hannah? 🤔
Halina Kaczmarek yes you can although I tried that one year and it rotted, even though I didn’t water it. So I have been dry storing since then, plus takes up less room 💚🌿
@@TropicalPlantAddict I have room but, TBH, I'm more terrified they will rot and die IF I dry store them! 🙈 And we don't have that yellow sulphur fungicide in my country... ☹ What could I use instead? 🤔
Halina Kaczmarek As long as they are dried out and stored in paper bags they shouldn’t rot… You could use cinnamon powder instead
@@TropicalPlantAddict Thank you, Hannah, I will definitely try to save my caladiums over winter, then 😉
Do u winter your caladiums you keep inside
Was that a red banana tree?
I’ve got a red banana and a colocasia Hawaiian punch and do you think I could overwinter them in a frost free garage until spring
I have heard of others over-wintering their red Abyssinian’s in a shed/garage but usually they cut back the leaves. Not sure about the colocasia, the leaves would most likely get damaged by the cold
Tropical Plant Addict ok thanks I’ll do that with the banana and I’ll bring the colocasia indoors. Also quick question have you ever thought about adding some agave to your garden?
Amazing, as always 👍👍 I dug up the Esculenta the other day (as you
Know). The small colocasia I bought from you a few weeks back, what is the best thing to do with it? It’s currently still planted out
Darren Burch It should be fine as they are Winter hardy… In a couple of weeks I’ll be chopping them back and just putting a thick layer of mulch over, but you could also dry store it like the esculenta 🌿
Tropical Plant Addict wonderful, thank you, as always 🌴🌿
my caladium leaves is draying whay is so
Is it normal for some caladiums to bot have tubers? I overwintered mine but it’s all roots and no tubers at all
Shae Ardiente mmmm yes that’s strange 😆🌿
I was about to say maybe get rid of the lawn and just turn your garden into a jungle with a path through it (right as you said, “I’m thinking of getting rid of the lawn’)
I think if I started from scratch that’s what I would’ve done originally… I’ll have to have a think about it 💚🌴🌺
No. Grass is very a very important factor. It brings out the look. Otherwise it will look dull
❤💙💚💛💜
Can't cinnamon powder make the job of the sulphur instead?
You could use cinnamon although I believe it wouldn’t be quite as effective
@@TropicalPlantAddict thank you, cinnamon should be antifungal antibacterial and can dry out the cuts... Does these bulbs and also the corms of banana survive the drought of the winter monts? I have a little red musa like yours that lost the leaves im not sure it is still alive: it is potted, digging out of the pot and drying out the bulb is essential for this process of overwintering?
Marco Paganelli I do use cinnamon when I’m cutting plants to propagate.
Regarding the over-wintering it depends on your climate and also personal preference. All my musa basjoos and other plants I mentioned etc are fine left in the ground over winter, I’ve had them a few years now 🌿
@@TropicalPlantAddict im in central Italy but I don't know if the ensete morellii can be simply left outside right now I don't have a garden just my balcony, I have overwintered coffe without problems but since my e. morelli is not doing fine already I was considering what to do if cutting the stem back to the grownd may be enough or if i need to possibly continue growing inside this summer my problem has been the heat with her not just from weather but because of air conditioning inside my home exhaling warmth outside on the balcony.
Waw i love caladium😍😍😍 can you gift me some caladium 😅😅😅😅😅
Plants get unplanted??
Paola Mura yes in the Uk 🇬🇧 🌿
So depressing cutting it all down....maybe artificial turf would work in your space...there are really good qualities out there now...no mowing
