Good morning Douentza! I just received your video,it’s 0957 a.m. here in Rio. I loved it as all the others you made recently. Thanks for your interest and kindly for this. Thanks again and again...
I know you covered it briefly in the video, there are some horror stories about the pups coming up all across the lawn, I really want one and to put it in the border but don’t want to have to manage tetrapanex aswell as bindweed!
Tetrapanax will come up all over your lawn. This is not an issue as the lawnmower will get rid of them. It's the ones that pop up in your borders that you need to worry about. I don't have an issue with this, I just weed them out but if you are not prepared for that then you should not get this plant.
Thanks for the excellent demonstration on potting Tetrapanax Rex. Mine also produces lots of runners so I'm looking forward to better success potting them on now!!!
Very nice. I see them occasionally in local gardens (Chico, California) and have been tempted. Is there a specific reason to bring these into the greenhouse rather than transplanting them site-to-site in your garden? Thanks for another great video!
The tetrapanax roots shallowly and once cut from the parent plant it is vulnerable. Keeping it in a pot for a while ensures best results. Thanks for watching and happy growing.
Afternoon … beautiful job on your 3 garden projects!!!🌸 Could you help me with my t-rex please!! I grow mine in a glasshouse and love potting up the pups but I really want to put one in my garden BUT I have neighbour’s either side 🥴 You know what’s coming right!! Is it possible to plant it without it sprouting up next door? Su in Cork Ireland
Hi Su. I am not sure what to say to you. Trex really does run and it seems to travel greater distances the longer it's in the ground. The runners are easy to break off and if they pop up in a lawn that gets mowed regularly then that will kill them. However, if your garden is small and your neighbour has flower beds or a meadow near the boundary with you then they won't be too pleased. I think the runners are shallow so you might try encasing your Trex with a surround of half-buried slate but, no guarantees I'm afraid. Sorry to not have a solution.
Thank you for the reply!💕 I thought so…I’ve 50+ runners a yr in the glasshouse! I might pop it into a huge tree pot and put that into the ground! Thanks again and I love your natural way in the garden x
i love the "T-rex " plant IT makes such an exotic statement in the garden i look IT up on the internet and in Romania i ca not find it ... that is so horrible
Gardening at Douentza i.m not confident in that couse here sonetimes we have temperatures down to -30°C last year i lost 3 rhododendrons and usually they do not freeze ... but i will do my best in finding even the smallest plant and makeit a monter :)
We've cut down our Tetrapanax. Horribly invasive of every bed within 30 feet of the original trunk. Saving tetrapanax is liking saving Kudzu or Portuguese Ivy or Himalayan Blackberries.... why would anyone do that?? This plant ought to come with a warning label. I'm so glad ours is gone and we'll probably be digging up the runners until we move or die, whichever comes first.

I enjoy your videos so much! Especially the videos from your beautiful garden. Thanks for all you do!
Thank you, Beth. What a lovely thing to say.
I'm rooting for the little one!
Is that a pun? Well, me too actually :)

Hello there in Rio. Thank you for your kind words and happy growing!
Bless you (for the sneeze). Great information, I’m looking to buy some of those.
Haha. Okay, thank you. Tetrapanax is a fabulous plant.

You are welcome, Hazel. Good luck with them!

Can u put the rooted cuttings in water jar ?
I've never tried that. Tell me how you get on!
Awesome
I wish mine would run!
Your garden is too much of a cushy number :)
Why squashed into pot is this the secret or is it just to save space in greenhouse
Cheers
Overpotting is the most common beginners mistake.
Do you sell the pups
Sorry, no
i love the "T-rex " plant IT makes such an exotic statement in the garden i look IT up on the internet and in Romania i ca not find it ... that is so horrible
What bad luck!
It mightn't be hardy in Romania though.

Sounds like you have found the best solution for your garden
If you have any spare I would love to buy one from you if at all possible, I cannot find any anywhere at the moment.
What country are you in?
@@GardeningatDouentza I am in the uk
