Ok. I'm surprised. I've bought so many plants which have arrived without any mention whatsoever of a passport. Not even a sticker. Some have arrived bareroot. I will look into this though as I've mentioned and possibl even do a video on it 😂
Great vidio, Mark ,love your plant collection I to am an amateur gardener I also started a hobby doing bonsai I live in leigh lancashire not to far from you ..I am interested in buying some plants from you ,I will be looking on your website 😊
Hi Mark good videos please can you comment - i have done the same as you - washed my plants to dry store them - after washing i find a few off-shoots with roots (some big - some small) i have separated these and put into slight damp compost in new pots and now the leaves have died down - I ask is it best to leave them in the new pots or lift them from the pots and dry store
Hi Paul. It is a good question and I'm not sure there is an exact correct answer. Mine are all in soil. Even the little offshoots. And i will not water them. But I'm also learning. It might be an idea for you to do 50 50? What do you think?
@@MarksHouseandGardenUK Thanks Mark i will let the soil dry and not water and then they will be sort of dry stored - i grow Brugmansia and have quite a collection - i will buy a china from you in the spring
@@rachelcolborn7818 i shall have a look into this. I'm not convinced you are correct. I will find out. People are selling plants all over the place. And I've never heard of a passport.
@@MarksHouseandGardenUK yes its well known that you need one but there is a lot of people selling without them illegally. It's a risk you take but has a large fine with it if you get caught. The passports are mainly to stop diseases spreading. Hopecyhat helps buy yes, do look it up. Any good plant seller with have one and back me up.
@@rachelcolborn7818 well you do surprise me. Because I've bought dozens of plants this year from commercial nurseries and plants people and none have come with passports. As i say. I'll look into it tomorrow. Thanks for the tip off.
Yes she's correct. If you are moving plants by post within the uk you will need to supply a plant passport with each plant.

Your soil/compost is amazing!
I can't claim credit. I buy the compost in bags. Don't tell anyone 😜 will be making my own soon. Mark

Hi Mark, Keep it up. I'll have 1 of each of the Colocasia "Pink China" & Esculenta" to purchase, when they're ready. Please.
Thanks Andrew. I will certainly reserve those. I'm currently waiting for spring to see how well they over winter. Thanks again. Mark

You do know you heed a plant passport to sell plants through the post.
Internally in the UNITED KINGDOM? Are you sure?
@@MarksHouseandGardenUK yes.
