THAT'S WHAT I SAID!!! I've been handling my plants with the delicateness of a brain surgeon! Nice to know so many plants don't mind the absolute vigorousness of the extraction! 🤣 I'm behind on videos, but LOVE catching up. Looking forward to seeing Tim's garden soon! Keep up the fantastic work! Love watching the channel grow as you continue to inspire us with your learnings. -Erv
I'm also in Sydney and I also spent my whole day doing the same thing. It was the perfect day for cutting chopping culling and repotting. The minute I finished and sat, I saw this video and smiled 🌱😊🌿😁 🍃
So cool that those plants can live outside in your climate! I live in Oklahoma, and the temperatures here get between -17 C and 40 C. Very few plants can handle those extremes.
Jan, if there ever is a zombie apocalypse you can harvest your cannas, which are related to ginger, and use them for food. Cooked immature seeds are edible. In some species the young shoots and leaves are a cooked green - usually boiled - and in some species the root starch is edible. In fact, it is the largest plant starch, molecularly speaking, and among if not the easiest to digest. The best-known Canna for food is Canna edulis, also called Achira. It can have a rhizome clump two feet long. At harvest time the plant is three to six feet high with alternative leaves that are a foot long and almost half a foot wide. Canna root does not store well so it is best left in the ground until when you intend to use it, say within a few days. It can be eaten raw, or is often boiled. Best method of preparation is long baking. The roots are not peeled before or after baking. Once cooked they are slit and the soft, shiny starchy content scooped out. A lot of the starch can make you hiccup. In the mountains of Peru the roots are baked in ground pits with coals and hot rocks covered with dirt, usually 12 hours at least or 6 hours in the oven covered. During the United States Civil War the Southern soldiers would take mature canna seeds and use them as buckshot. Cannas are native to the warm parts of the Americas. www.eattheweeds.com/canna-confusion/#google_vignette
I am new to the gardening community and wanting to learn more so I can decorate my abode with indoor plants. I have a few plants already but I am just seeing if I'm a good plant mum before I collect more plant babies. I'm learning lots from your videos and I adore your garden. Love the ending of this video with the wheelbarrow full of your plants going for a stroll.
Watching you repot that canna is the reason it’s been 4 years since mine got a soil refresh 😬😅They outgrow their pots SOOO fast and a nightmare to pull apart!
We had 3weeks here in jan.feb..20degrees...I covered all my plants outside on my condo patio..buy list them all.some were 20+years old..we are going into spring here on gulf coast..then 🔥🥵HOT/HUMID WEATHER..at 70yrs young I couldn't move all my babies inside..grrrr.. So I will have to start over..love to Brad, meow.. Happy Easter yall.. Nice present for TIM. TY for sharing ur plant wisdom.. Nitey nite for me it's 3AM.. ❤️ 😍 across ocean to ya
Hi Jan, I think I figured my Splendid out :) Asked you about it recently in the comments, pretty impossible to determine a problem from just my words. After that I tried wrapping the nodes, day and night difference how fast the newest 2 leaves rooted! The amount of roots in the pole was very disappointing when I chopped it last time.. the newest leaf is now also fully intact, no brown spots. So wrapping the newest 2 nodes for a while should be the solution I was looking for 😁 edit: I will also add a plastic back in the next one, inside the mesh..
Love the cebu blue in his large Form. I love your Humor, "more room for New plants, doh😂" With all these ripping noises its like a planty horror movie 😱
Jan, It looked like a tomato horn worm to me. Please look it up! They have a voracious appetite and one worm can defoliate a tomato plant in a few days.
🌱🌱🌱🌱leaving a nice comment I am running out of words, I mean I don’t know what to say All my comments are so similar, but despite of this fact, I wanna still left you ein paar words! You’ve got a fan 🌱🌸
Ever hear of an Epipremnum P “Thai” cultivar? I hadn’t until I just bought one, not super cheap, 24$ cad for a 6 inch pot. It fenestrates as it matures also, small pointy leaves so far, almost an inch long or so Did you just turn your gloves inside out to check for dangerous insects or? Dang Australia 🇦🇺! Guess you get used to checking boots and things left outside overnight before wearing them eh? We do the same because of black widow spiders south west Canada, they love our semi-arid climate Is that smoke 💨 coming from the fence behind you in the corner? You got me buying the canna stuttgart and cleopatra, can’t wait to put them out this summer. When separating a root bound plant I take the lazy way and take a bread knife to the root ball, I don’t have the strength to pull apart the ball like you!
Omg, Jan that was crazy. But I love stuff like that. I especially like how you said under your breath, "It leaves room for more plants, duh". Uh, yeah!!😅 But, I have to confess. Leave it to a gay guy, I was obsessed with your shoes, the entire video!! Talk about, "what the actual fuck!" I'm sorry, but they were really cool!!
@@sydneyplantguydon't you hate that? You decide on one thing, then can't find the other as the afterthought. When I lived in Portland, Oregon, a very good friend of mine worked at Nike in Beaverton, there. She has since retired, but it was nice. (I liked the colors you chose, I probably would have gone with those as well). Gardening wise, it's going into spring here. Still a bit nippy outside, but I've been outside cleaning up the beds and pruning the fruit trees, etc..I just dug up my bonsai trees that I naturalized over the last 3 years...good for them, pain for me, but very worth it. Sorry, I'm rambling like we're talking on the phone.
The absolute MANHANDLING of these plants crack me up 😂

Can't wait to see Tim's garden makeover,I think it'll be epic.
We're pretty proud :)
A nice big bread knife comes in real handy when separating rhizomes
Absolutely!!
Sometimes it’s just the ‘i can just do it’ voice in my head that stops me from thinking things through 😅😅
I'm also in Sydney and I also spent my whole day doing the same thing.
It was the perfect day for cutting chopping culling and repotting.
The minute I finished and sat, I saw this video and smiled 🌱😊🌿😁 🍃
Perfect timing :)
Man what a workout!! Can’t wait to see what you do in Timmy’s garden 👍👍👍
Thank you :) can't wait to show you:)
I am already jealous of Tim's garden.
So cool that those plants can live outside in your climate! I live in Oklahoma, and the temperatures here get between -17 C and 40 C. Very few plants can handle those extremes.
Definitely very fortunate :)!
I like to use your repotting and chop & extend videos for reference on how rough I can treat my plants, and it's a big time saver 😂
Haha yeah I’m certainly not careful :D
I love your repotting method.👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks :)
Your fence is smoking around 7:30 lol
I stared at that for quite some time too haha😆

I love your approach to gardening! The way that you promote living in harmony with your tiny garden visitors is refreshing! Beautiful garden❤
Thank you:)
what a generous friend you are. I use a pruning saw to separate root bound plants. Doesn't seem to harm them. xxxxxx's to Brad.
Nobody more deserving than Tim :)

Thank you :) definitely take it easy, one plant at a time :) so it stays enjoyable & doesn't get overwhelming :)
Watching you repot that canna is the reason it’s been 4 years since mine got a soil refresh 😬😅They outgrow their pots SOOO fast and a nightmare to pull apart!
I only repotted them last year 🤭🤭
Wish i could make a tropic garden here but im in Norway 😢 but can still get a nice garden
That’s a lot of work. You reminded me of me when I am doing plants chores. Absolutely chaotic 😊 but at the end it’s harmony
Apart from sun direction moving north, this lovely weather is lulling me into thinking it's Spring ❤🎉🎉
Oh i’d love that :(
Your videos are so entertaining and nice to just listen in the background while I'm doing plant stuff. Love your videos! 💚💚💚
Thanks:)
I love taking my plants for a walk. So relaxing! Can't wait to see the transformation of Timmy's garden.
Haha yeah they love it too & so do the neighbours 🤭🤭 thanks :)
Thank you for Sharing beautiful garden plants lovely video ♥♥
Thank you :)
I wish you were my neighbor I would die for those plants ❤😂
Ancioso para o póximo vídeo! Parabens pelo jardim, é lindo!!
Thanks :)
Jan? You need a saw ^^". I have had used it to divide the big root ball. I've done it before and it worked out perfectly.
Hi dear,

He sure does :)
Looking forward to seeing Tim’s new deck and garden 🪴😀🇨🇦
I think you’ll like it :)
I can’t wait to see what you and Tim create! The wheelbarrow full of plants was awesome 🌴😂🌴😂
Haha coming today :)
Loved the video as always. Hi Bradley baby. Love from Western Australia
Thanks:)
Tim is a lucky person! I would love to be your neighbor.
He’s very deserving of them :)
“Not Happy Jan” 😆 So Aussie!
From India❤️❤️. I love your all plants. I am 17yrs old boy
Thanks :)
I can't believe that when it's morning for you, it's nighttime for me! Still, you have the most stunning plants!
well our planet is fascinating :) thanks !
11:59, STAND ON IT! :) A few good squishes all the way around usually does the trick!
that was fun! ...oh maybe get a spade for dividing your bigger plants. can't wait to see Tim's place and face 😄
Thanks :)
Very nice plants for Tim ,see you soon👌
💚🍀🌿🌵💚
We have lots of plants too.. Mostly money plants....😊
Chop, Chop, Jan! 😅 Good God, did your garden grow this summer!
Loved watching
Thanks :)
Best 'decluttering' video I've seen so far hahahaha. Although I don't see me being a 'minimalist' plant mum anytime soon :)
Thanks :) the end result is far from minimalist either :D looks like I hardly took any plants out :D

Sounds good :) trial & error !!:)
You really need a garden saw to manage those rootballs 😅
You needed a chainsaw for those hefty roots. Thanks for sharing Jan & looking fwd to seeing them in Tim’s garden.
We need a whole montage of you fighting with pots.
😅😅😅
Interesting vantage point for the start of your vid ! I noticed tight away that you have shoes on today 🙂
You are also funny, enjoy that a lot!
Thanks :)
When it's 3-4 degrees, it's much warmer during the daytime in Sydney ❤🎉🎉
Ich finde du solltest mal ein komplettes Video auf deutsch machen 🤩
I’d struggle tbh 🤭
I'm sorry but I literally LMAO when you broke that piece off by accident. I saw it coming 😂
Didn’t we all!! But hope dies last 🤭😅
Great stuff
Thanks :)
Love the cebu blue in his large Form. I love your Humor, "more room for New plants, doh😂"
With all these ripping noises its like a planty horror movie 😱
😅😅 haha omg now that you say it!! Thanks :)
Entertaining as usual🌴🌴
Thank you:)
Lucky Tim 😍🤩 Hoping for a good success rate 🤞🤞
all our fingers & toes are crossed :)
Very beautiful job 😂😂😂
Thanks :)
That thumbnail is PERFECT!!!🤣❤️
Jan, It looked like a tomato horn worm to me. Please look it up! They have a voracious appetite and one worm can defoliate a tomato plant in a few days.
Oh well glad I gave up kn my tomatoes already anyway:D
I’m just taking my plants for a walk 😂
Love the .."room for a new plant, duhh"... I don't have any space (according to my wife) but still manage, to find space 😅
I should really just stop having duplicates :D
@@sydneyplantguy But Tim doesn't mind ;-)
Gosh Tim is one lucky dude!! I wish you were my neighbor n friend 💚 what was the second to last plant??
Sorry not sure which one u are referring to ? 🙂 but I should have labelled them all on screen :)
Will it look like jurassic park.. Lots of big plants..
Yey let's clean up our garden
I cleaned mine yesterday 😂
🌱🌱🌱🌱leaving a nice comment
I am running out of words, I mean I don’t know what to say
All my comments are so similar, but despite of this fact, I wanna still left you ein paar words! You’ve got a fan 🌱🌸
My name is not Tim... How unfortunate 😅 Looking forward to your next video 🙋
:D Thanks :)
Tim will be happy? r u sure about it? he will say, Oh no!!!!! again more plants
Mm i’m sure he will:)
Tuyệt vơig quá
Next time you could use a serrated knife works easier
Hi BRAD❤

You got me buying the canna stuttgart and cleopatra, can’t wait to put them out this summer.
When separating a root bound plant I take the lazy way and take a bread knife to the root ball, I don’t have the strength to pull apart the ball like you!
Never heard of it :O and yes :) was checking for spiders & the smoke is a mozzie coil :)
😂 giving running type plants a speech, let's try that with my Tetrapanax.. no chance in hell it'll listen
You need to use a good knife when separating roots
Can I be your neighbour 😂 love your garden
How many regal shield can grow in same pot. Do they like being in their own pot??❤😂🎉
All just depends on the size of the pot & the size of the root system. To get the most out of them u'd want them to have space to expand:)
😍😍😍
5:50 that's how to put gloves on in Australia ? 🕷😂
💜💜
Isn't Tim aming for a different look.😂😂🎉🎉
Well ... :D he won't say no to a free plant though :D
Odd, I just did that today
Great minds think alike hehe :)
9:14 I thought that was a snake, 😝
Can you share few plants with me 😁
Mmm for now they go to Timmy’s :)
How is the camera up so high?
What is smoking on the fence at 7:00 lol
Mozzie coil
what's that?

Hehe thanks :)
Regarding the shoes … they had a green version too and I hesitated on buying them & the week after SOLD OUT!! Can’t find them anywhere 🥶🥶🥶
Well, I know your neck was hurting, but the balcony shot was a very cool angle on your garden.

I can only see so much propagation 😂 better give them away quick or they will grow on you. 🙃😄
💚😻💚🌿😻💚
Who is this Tim that I keep hearing about ? 😅
Check out yesterdays video :)
@@sydneyplantguy just watched Tim’s garden setup. Stunning work by you two 😀
Dude, you need a workbench. It will save your back.
Why is your fence smoking 😂
It's a mozzie coil :)
@@sydneyplantguy That makes sense 😅
Ahh it's a mozzie coil!! I watched that bit a few times and wondered what it was😆
None of those would do well in the ground here. Canada 🇨🇦 is not welcoming to tropical plants 🤣
Haha no, certainly far from tropical :D
I am tired of my cannas 😒
They are so rewarding to grow though :)
still cant wait!!!
your bird of paradise is so glorious btw i love it a lot!
Thanks :)
"Way too many plants", said no one ever 🪴💚
sometimes, if you have too many, you can't appreciate very single one. I do think there is such thing as 'too many' :P but tastes are different :)
@@sydneyplantguy like when you can't use your kitchen bench without moving a few plants 😂
Well my nasty neighbour who lives across the road said I had too many plants.😮
