Can't wait for the Singapore video Mark, I went a couple of years ago and it was incredible! Your Colocasia 'Pink China' are looking really good, thanks for the mention too. All your bananas and canas are looking really good too! Looks like the rain we've had recently has really helped everything get growing, we just need a little more heat now 🤞
Hi Mark, Your little garden is gorgeous . I love the variety,colours and textures of your jungle plants. I too purchased musa basjoo, cannas and red banana from B&M. Id love a Tectranpanx and Colocassia someday. Where did you purchase your from? Enjoy your holiday with your hubby. Julie Stoke-on-Trent 🌴🪴🌿🌴
Garden looks great, I've just bought a 5 ft ensete Maurelii but these winds have hammered it already 😢 very sad, love the ferns on the ground where did you get them, everywhere I look they look in very bad condition and not cheap either, wouldn't mind if they looked like yours.
Looks great Mark safe travels and back from Singapore! What about a few tropical hibiscus for your border? To bad it’s not so easy to ship you plants from the States I have stuff I would share just to help your collections along.
Nice looking collection. Looks well sheltered too. I've seen several examples this year of esculentas that survived the winter so im tempted to leave mine in and see what happens.
I'm wondering what you are going to do with the Tetrapanax? Are you going to keep cutting them back in the courtyard? They will completely take over that area in a few years.
Fair point that. I've seen the ones at dorothy clive gardens. I think i may start lifting them, potting them and selling them. But we'll enjoy them for now. Mark
Can you help me Mark. I love your videos and they have been so helpful. I have a wildlife pond which has a problem at the moment and I can’t find anything online for a fix… So I thought of you. It has a sort of iridescent film which goes a greeny yellow in warmer weather and becomes harder to see through. Seems to sink (?) if water is agitated and then drifts back over. I have images. There is no pump etc. Any idea what it is or how to cure?
Sounds like blanket weed. Which I believe is light and warmth driven. Put shade around the pond and add some surface plants. Add some Oxygenators. Hope the pond will eventually find it's own balance. I had something similar and i used a cane to take it out by spinning like candy floss but be careful near your liner with sharp objects. Mark
Some jungle garden plants have been too successful! For example, gunnera tinctoria is classed as an invasive species in Scotland, where they're trying to eradicate it!

Thanks for the tour! Super healthy plants. I wish your hubby would buy me a tree fern or two.
They are not available in Canada.

Wish I'd left all mine in under a thick mulch and membrane

Many thanks@@MarksHouseandGardenUK
Do you think some of these jungle plants will eventually naturalise in the UK? 🤓
