Agree with u on the washingtonia robusta, not had a great deal of luck with them do fine during summer here on the west coast of Scotland, but not so good if u get a really harsh winter! Dont get me wrong if they do get fried with the cold, if they've still got a bit of green in the growing point they will push out new growth rapidly once temps warm up! 🚀 just went and bought approximately a 5ft one from B&M was originally £50 but priced down to a tenner as a few dead fronds on it, plenty of green in centre & really just needed repotted! So result 😁🤞
Re Yucca Rostrata. Mine used to do the same with the foliage when they were potted. When I planted it into a deep raised bed with gritty soil this all resolved. I assumed it was due to the suboptimal drainage in the pot. I don't cover the two yucca rostratas in winter yet despite this remains decent with little damage. I suspect the plant is recovering from the poor conditions it was in previously prior to you planting it in the well drained bed. Hopefully this will resolve in time🤞
I agree the damage to the Opuntia is from slugs or snails. They love soft new pads. As far as your Y rostrata, it looks in very poor shape. The central growing point should be producing all blue new leaves. These are very adaptable and do not need a pure gravel growing medium. I hope that its roots are able to reach the native soil underneath. These, as well as the agaves come from areas that experience summer monsoons. So they do best with water in summer and it helps their growth. I would leave it alone and make sure it gets some water. Good luck.
Nice to see what can be achieved up in God’s own country. Couldn’t help noticing your bag of Desert Substrate. I’ve experimented with this product this year. I’m still unsure, I’ve created some “habitat” pots that have done ok with it & others where I’ve had to remove it. What are your thoughts? I think it’s been better where I’ve mixed it with very chunky stone chippings. Ta
Hello - Really love your garden. Is there any reason why your cascade is not running? Would love to see the jungle stream and water fall in action one day 🙂
Thank you 🙏 the jungle stream does work but I don't turn it on for videos as it makes too much background noise and I only use my phone mic for audio 😄 I'll include it working in the next update vid.
