From leftover Moss Poles to Majestic Climbers - Update on Tim’s Garden & Indoor Plants

Today we're cleaning up Tim's garden. Welcome back to the channel, Timmy. Thank you. Hi guys. Welcome back to Timmy's garden. It's been a couple of months, I think, since we filmed the marathon. Nearly two months. I guess two months, yeah, because we did the anniversary. Yeah, we did the marathon video, which I think was in March. It is now, oh my god, middle of May, middle of May. So, we're well and truly in autumn, almost winter. Which I hate. Yes, but today's a really, really nice day. It's actually really nice and sunny. It's warm, over 20 degrees. And we have blue skies, which we haven't had for about a week. Exactly. We've had torrential rain for a week. We've had cold nights as well. It's going down to like 12, 11, 10 degrees, which is obviously not crazy in the grand scheme of things when we're talking about winter. We're definitely not experiencing frost, but we set up a tropical garden for you and those tropical plants don't necessarily love the 12-ish degrees. I do, however, think that your garden right now is looking the lushest it's ever looked. Yeah. Oh my god. Hang on, can you... Blocking the staff, the show. Yes. I do think it looks the lushest it has ever looked. Can I have you back to the camera? I do think it looks the lushest it's ever looked. I think the other cages had a moment a couple of months ago where they looked a little bit lusher, but it's actually nicer. We have more variety now rather than just the collocations taking over. And you can actually see more of the plants because the collocations and some of the allocations, like they just exploded and took up like massive leaves like the lime zingers, but we had that with the normal allocations and they just were preventing... Exactly. The lower ones getting light. Specifically, we've got a few plants that we planted at the bottom of the fence that have now well and truly found their way up the fence. Big have found their way to the top of the fence and I think they really make a big difference, right? Before, like a couple of months ago... Oh, girl! A couple of months ago, the allocations took over so they were really lush, but now we have a little bit more variety. I think a little bit more interesting. I personally think it looks better. Yeah. Plus, we have a new water feature. We've got... The green wall doesn't look the best, but... We probably won't look at the green wall today. We can quickly glimpse over the green wall and you're actually doing much better indoors as well because we've done a bit of work indoors. We've kind of taken away the plants that have just not done well, right? Correct. If you've had a few, like specifically the velvets that you've had in there, they just weren't doing well for years throughout all seasons. So, at some stage, you also just got to give up. And I think that was clearly a case of the conditions rather than care. I have never seen more spider mite infestations than in Tim's place. So, we kind of changed the type of plants. I don't do this for a living. I know, I know, I know. But we kind of changed the type of plants indoors, and we changed the setup. Instead of going for extensions, we're growing more lush poles and so on. So, it's a little bit less effort, but it suits you a little bit more. So, I think it would be good to kind of maybe have a look at those as well. I should have vacuumed. That's okay. We'll film the plants, not the floor. But anyway, lengthy introduction. Let's just have a look. Let's go for a browse, yeah? Alrighty. Hello. Hang on. Hello, baby. Yes, yes. Oh, you're so gorgeous, so gorgeous. Okay, let's start off with the alocasias. I mean, the limesinger is still doing amazing. It's so crazy when we looked back at that marathon video. That came from an unrooted... Yeah, but that is a brand new leaf. Still coming out this time of year. And look at all the pups. All the pups down there. Oh, do you think this one is variegated or just dead? It's dead. It's dead. Yeah. The regal shields is also looking really good. Very, very nice. But what I enjoy the most over here right now is the dubia that has hit the fence. So, if you remember, I at some stage came over with this pole. Oh, my God. You can't even see them. There's a pole and we cut that pole in half and we put those two on the fence. And for the longest time, nothing happened. One shoot is only here, but the other one has absolutely shot the lights out, is attaching to the fence like it would attach to a tree in nature, and has now already reached the top of the fence within one growing season. And it softens the fence line. Hopefully, they'll all get... For sure. Yeah. So, that's the idea. There's many other cuttings down below that are all supposed to do the same thing. A few more alocasias here, but I think we've spoken about the alocasias a lot in previous updates. We have. We actually have a stiamachia cutting over here, and it baffles my mind a little bit that it's not maturing, because as soon as mine started climbing, it very much started maturing, and mine also grows outdoors. So, I'm really confused that it's not maturing, but the owlboy syngonium is doing amazing right next to it, right? And I love that we split that plant before we put it in there. So, on that pole down here, there were three or four cuttings, and they all... Oh, there is a bit of stiamachia down here that's maturing. That's nice. So, hopefully, it finds the fence. I think it needs more light. Well, that's why it should grow up the fence and mature, right? So, that's why I'm confused why these don't mature. The ones that get less light are actually more mature right now. Anyway, on the other syngonium, see how there's like five or six cuttings on that pole? Well, that means that five or six shoots will find their way onto the fence. They have, again, thoroughly attached themselves using their roots, and they are now all climbing up on this side as well. Looking really, really good, huh? Yeah. I love it. Little daily break. Hello, my baby. Oh, my God. Why are you so extremely gorgeous? So gorgeous. You are so pretty. We're doing garden video? Oh, yeah. Sorry. Okay, we know the other cages. Nothing really changed. They're still all thriving. Actually, they're still in bloom. Look at that. Yeah. That is cool. Oh, and there's the tiny little milo hiding in the back down there. And it's now got two leaves. Yeah, I do think I would like to take that back. Well, we can discuss that. That was never supposed to be in your garden. Anyway, have a look at this. We planted this big Monstera deliciosa, and it was kind of crawling, and then I said to Timmy, why don't we try and help it so it climbs? Because we have lots of horizontal space, not much vertical space. We put this block of timber there, and it gave the plant this little push up, and now it is certainly happy to climb. And have a look at the size of this stem. It is so thick, with super thick roots attaching to the fence. And holy moly. Look at the size of this leaf compared to Timmy's hand. That is insane. So imagine it just has two more or three more. This entire beautiful backdrop block of fence will be filled, right? Yeah. So we really only need to, that was the idea for this Diomarchia to fill that gap between the Dubia and the Syngonium. This one's all going to be filled by the Monstera, and then here we've got a couple of shoots of Mycebo Blue that again has also found the fence, actually three shoots, found the fence rooted really well. Second shoot again found the fence rooting really well. Look at the size of these leaves. Look at the brand new one up the top. And then the third shoot down here. Yeah. I mean, that just looks so good. And again, if like, I think when we did the summer update, that was maybe half the height, right? So it's really climbed really fast. And again, it all came from an old pole that we just put against the fence. And then the re-shoots have climbed up the fence and attached themselves. So cool. I love that. Again, more allocations at the front. We also have the stick that is definitely dead. The magic stick is dead. Oh, we didn't even need to cut it. It's doing that well. Yeah. Oh, maybe it's going to re-shoot from the ground, no? Oh yeah, we were just thinking for you. Well, at least it's no longer, there's something coming here. Timmy, maybe this is, Timmy, maybe, do you think this is from the palm? No, I think that's like all these seeds that drop out of the palm tree. See, look at this one here. See? Cute. That all comes from the palm up there. Yeah. Nice. Okay. Then we've got this allocation. That allocation also did not kick off until recently, right? We moved it. We moved it. Well, it was a later edition and it was moved and we planted it in winter, but even in spring, it didn't do much. It really only started growing in autumn. In that position. And now it has this, again, huge leaves. Sorry, I can't get in there, but look compared to the size of my hand. And we moved the elkhorn over here. They used to fill the fence, but now we've got so many plants growing up. Wow. From here, it looks so good, Timmy. I actually can't believe how nice this garden looks. All right. And of course, we've always had this one that has been here. That was in our work, but there is a philodendron node ID that is also trying to find the palm over here. So, let's see how that goes. You had a really good season with your Stuttgart, right? I mean, they're all out of bloom now, but at the top, it's a bit glary, but there's probably six or seven flower stalks that I can see. But you can really see they are going sad now. And so much rust. They've all got a lot of rust. We have so much rain here. I think that's maybe why. Is it? Okay. Yes. But it's not bad to induce dormancy for them anyway. I mean, we've got a few nicer shoots in the back. So, what would you suggest? Like, cut off the bad leaves? No, we're cutting the whole stems. Oh. If you cut off the bad leaves, you just have an empty stem left. Okay. It is hard to kind of comprehend how tall all of this is. I mean, Timmy's not the tallest person in the world. No offense. You are two centimeters taller than me. On Passport 5. But it is so tall. Timmy's parents, when they visited the other day, they're like, oh my god, we haven't been here in two months. And it's a jungle. Yeah. Like, they grow so fast. And what we wanted is privacy from the neighbors. And we have full privacy from the neighbors now. The question is, are they going to go dormant over winter or not? Yes. Well, this is the big question. Last year, they were slightly dormant, right? Yeah. Like, they didn't. They just looked ugly. Yeah. They kept some of the leaves. This year, they're much more established, have much more resilience. So, I'm confident that we're going to keep the privacy. Yeah. Throughout winter. It could just be that in spring, we need to cut it back, have a few weeks of... A bit of a food boost. Should we do at the end of winter? It's more so, like, at sunset, you need to cut it back. And then cutting it back will get the plant to focus on new growth, right? Yeah. Okay. So, I think, but maybe we can really reduce the time where it looks empty. We just cut it back just before it starts warming up or something like that. But yeah, the haricots did amazing, even with this really cold weather. Like, I'm not as concerned as I would be if this was the first year, but they've lasted. Like, they were only small in winter last year and they survived. So, hopefully, they've acclimatized properly. They should do better this year because they've would have established a much bigger root system and more bio zones. So, there's still stud guards coming up here. Yeah, that's what I mean. We can cut the old ones. Maybe there's even new ones that are coming back. If not, then not. The Maranta is doing okay. The Xanadu is doing terribly because of the fence. It's not the right flower for it. I think the Xanadu's got to go. Yeah. But maybe in spring, we can just choose a few more Maranta species. I like these. I really like these, though. Yes, but you want a bit more variety, a bit more color. But I like how they're coming through the fence so they don't make the fence look so obvious, right? Alrighty. And then we've got that Bird of Paradise in there as well. Yeah, which has gone crazy. I mean, you can hardly differentiate between the Bird of Paradise now and the Heliconius. Yeah. But, I mean, this is just so big. And look at this. They're so tall. Look at this. There's even a brand new leaf still coming this time of year. Look at the size of it. And that will give you privacy year-round. Yeah. But look, look down here. It's going to be a huge leaf. Yes, nice work. Alrighty, Timmy, come on. Let's show us the green wall then. Yeah. Anyway, that's the green wall. That's all you need to see now. It's fine. It's not that bad. Definitely a few, but a few of these plants are just also not going to survive winter anyway. But I think the problem we really have here is moisture. The green wall is very moist, and then it rains almost every day in Bloody Sunday. I haven't put the green wall on at the pump for probably two weeks now because we've had just so much rain. Everything is soaked. I mean, look at how full the thing is. But the collocasias do well. They're loving it. The water ones. And they have a really nice pop of color. This one we had to completely cut back because it was going crazy, but now it's coming back. All of these little pots were the herbs and seeds we planted. And these are the flowers, but I don't know what's been eating them. Yeah, but that's okay. But the seeds weren't all unsuccessful. Like, we have something to show for. It's not bad. See how they do over winter. And you had mice, and you had caterpillars and everything. So, we've had everything over here, but that's okay. It's the nature of the jungle. We also found a solution to at least temporarily not make the stainless steel table so reflective. Because it was basically like a mirror. Like, in summer, I basically had to wear sunglasses when I was in my kitchen because the glare from it was so bad. I like this. I like this. We just need to make it like a more permanent thing. But for now, that's okay. Yeah. And then down here, we've got a few more sun-loving plants. This one is the African milk tree. It's actually the propagations that came from my garden. So, they're doing so well. They do much better in your garden because you have more sun. I have a lot of shade, which helps the tropical plants. Yeah. But the sun-loving plants are good. And then over here, that little island, has that changed? You raised it, I think. Yeah, I've raised the umbrella up. And I gave you this one as an example because it's nice and low, fits with the umbrella. Yeah. And I love this one. I remember this came from my old garden. This one? This one came from my old garden. And it's like, obviously, some sort of Bromeliad type. It's not a Bromeliad, but some sort of... The flowers are beautiful. This is a spent one, right? This one's old. Yeah. This one is what they look in full bloom. I think it's so crazy. These colors are just insane. And it's beautiful that it happens in autumn. Yeah. I mean, there's always something of interest in your garden. And then look at the new ones coming everywhere. I saw a few more, right? Here. Yeah. Down here. So it's going to be really nice. Nice pop of color over here. Yeah. And then on that wall, we have one new feature. How about my tri-color star jasmine? Okay. Tri-color star jasmine. Over here, we've got a little water feature. I don't know if you've seen the video. I'll put it in now. This is how I turned a pot into a water feature. It all started at my local Bunnings. They sell water features, but we really wanted to make our own so that we can easily plantify it. The idea is to use the tray that came with the pot as a base to build an aquascape on, and then use a big tub as a water reservoir within the pot. We feed the hoist through the tray and use rocks and plants to build the aquascape. But the first attempt was too heavy. So in the second attempt, we replaced some of the rocks with styrofoam and glued rocks on there. But that looked terrible. So third time's the charm. We styrofoam and expandable foam to build a base layer and then sprinkle smaller pebbles on the foam just before it hardens. We also build up a little waterfall towards the back. Then adding some pebbles to make it look good and hiding our mistakes with a little bit of paint. Nobody will know. Then the moment of truth. We put the structure into the planter, top up the water, and ta-da! It works. As a bonus, we added a light so it also looks good at night. But we've changed it. We had a little second iteration because we realized that it would be much smarter to paint the foam first and then glue the rocks on with super glue, like, properly. Yeah. But apart from that... We're only using silicon and not waiting for it to set. The idea with the expandable foam is still what we ended up with. We just painted the expandable foam and then glued rocks on top of it. Yeah. But yeah, I mean, the plants aren't thriving. They're not really maturing. And this looks a bit beaten up, but they're definitely branching out. Like, you have more and more pups, which is actually, for this small setup, even better. Having three or four small plants. Yeah, yeah. This is nice. Nicer. This one is definitely growing, and we already chopped it, and it was in bloom in between as well. Yeah, true. So it's really nice. And the rosemary back blooming again. Yeah. Really beautiful. So yeah, we're doing really well out here, no? Thank you. Oh, my God. Excuse the mess. Timmy has an electrician over. Oh, well, not right now. That's why we're filming. He's getting the lights redone. I'm waiting for the lights delivery. But in the meantime, we can still look at plants. Look at this dubia. I'm actually really jealous because you now have two nice dubias. One indoors, one outdoors. I have zero nice dubias at the moment. I'm just better at it. You grow dubia better than me. I did give you a head start, though. Oh, you're gifted. I still prefer the shingling dubia, though, than the mature dubia, I have to say. I just think it's a beautiful effect with the shingling. Yes. Oh, well, give it back to me if you don't want it. Will you get me a shingler? I'll happily do. Yeah, we can do that. When you get a shingler established, then we can maybe do a swap. We can do like a house swap for the plant. And then epipremnum pinnata. Hang on, you have an epipremnum pinnata in the garden, too. Where is it? Oh, we skipped over it. Over here. But it hasn't really done as well. No, it just doesn't get as much light because the monstera is blocking it. But that's OK. Because this had so many allocations and the colocations through it. Oh, and you've got the subpinnata down here as well. Oh, my God, the subpinnata is actually growing up the monstera. That green stem, that's the subpinnata. And then we forgot the splendid as well. It's also doing well. And then adansonia. I feel like we forgot all of them. I can grow velvets. Oh, my gosh, it's better outside than inside. And there, syngonium. Look at the syngonium. Sorry, I've missed all of that. Oh, my God, the syngonium found the cebu blue. It's in between there. Using that to support it. I'm really excited to see. Oh, there's an adansonia down here as well. Yeah, and there's a variegated monstera at the back corner there. It's not super variegated, so it's so hard to get in there. Hey, that's got to be so cool because in like a few months time, we come back out here and you see new plants reaching the top of the fence. I'm so excited what we've done here. Anyway, sorry, we got distracted. Then your pride and joy over the monstera. Yes, my baby. Yeah, I think it's nice. And you had a little complaint to me the other day. You're like, why is mine not maturing? Yours is so much larger. But I actually think that this is the perfect size for this space because otherwise they start having really long petioles. Oh, and then I couldn't use this space. Yeah, I'd have to move it. And you really just have this kind of narrow walkway, right? You don't want it to go too deep into the room. Yeah. It looks really good, Timmy. Thank you. You've always done really well with that one. Yeah. So that was kind of my inspiration between, okay, if you're doing well with this one, what other plants can you do well with? You do well with the Dubia. You do well with the Epipremnum pannatum as well as the Sibu Blue. Yeah. Yours is very not Sibu Blue anymore. No. But those ones you do well with because they can tolerate drying out a little bit more. They're more pasty. Girly, what's happening? Oh, thank you. That's the light delivery. Oh, you're such a watchdog, huh? Now you're all hyped up. My question about this. Yes. See how it's got this really big. Don't worry about it. How am I going to get that? Don't. Don't worry about it. You don't. Not every single root has to be in the moss pile. This plant is growing roots throughout the stem as well. So it's okay. Like over here, the chances of you snapping that are way higher than you actually doing something good with it. Like this one. Yeah. So do nothing, right? Yeah. But sometimes it finds its way naturally like this one over here. Anyway, so what I wanted to say is maybe you've seen that video where I prepared all of my plants to be sold, but I potted up a few pots of lush trailing plants and I think they'll do really well with Tim because over here, the way that the light works is he's got the light coming from above, right? So the plants don't have a distinct display side. Like I like to grow with my mother grow lights coming from the front. Instead, they're going to be lush. So we've always had problems when you have plants on poles that they want to reach backwards, right? They don't want to face forward. They want to reach backwards. Like this plant over here wants to face the wall basically. The dubia is fine because it gets most of the sun from the north garden over there. But over here, I thought it wouldn't make more sense to have lush displays so that they get light from above. And all around. Work with the light exposure rather than working against it. So I love this scindapsus. I think this looks so stunning. But Timmy, see how this leaf is really curled up now? This is your sign that you need to water that. Okay. Every two or three weeks probably. I mean, your place is a bit drier and warmer and more sunny, but maybe every three weeks, two or three weeks. Yeah, but low maintenance, much easier for you to look after than the moss poles, right? Yeah. I think you just took this out of the sink. It looks very sad. Yeah. It ran out of water. Okay. Then we're trying the majestic. I have not had good success with my majestic. This looks pretty good here. That looks really good. So I figured, you know, let's try a different set of conditions and maybe that's more successful. Over here, same thing again. See how they curled up a little bit going taco? So you can really water this now, but it makes sense with the way that your light exposure works to have this. Yeah, but that's a good signal. I'd forgotten about that, about curling. And over here is a little bottom part of the splendid. And I actually really, really love how this looks when it trails down. I think I want this. Can I have this? Do you need it? I'll think about it. I'll think about it. I think this splendid looks so cute when it's a crawler. Like it looks like a micans, but a little more special. But again, like, you know, because we already have one on a pole, I figured why do an extension here again? It's getting so much growth. Like there's new growth everywhere on here. Yeah. But isn't it nice that you just have a lush little display? Because you can't go too high anyway. When we go too high and we see that in a sec, plants burn against the window. So this, I think just works with the space that you've got. Over here, we do need to find a cover pot, but we're trying an Anthurium. Oh, this one does not look good. Don't wreck it. No, I think what you can do over here is just cut it. Yeah. And then propagate it. Because this is just look at it. Propagate it in water? Yeah, just put it in water. Yeah. See these little roots there? Once you put it in water, they'll just expand. Then you can pot it up individually if you want. Okay. But again, I mean, it needs a bit of time to recover. It looked very, very terrible when I gave it to you, but look at all of the little growth. It's coming back, right? Yeah. I want that to be a lush circle. Again, it's a display that works with the light coming from above. And that's a beautiful photo, Timmy. Yeah, it is a good photo. I picked that up. It came out. Did you? Yeah. I can't believe this bloody Florida is still with us. I know. After all that time. It needs a hose. It's dusty. Yes, but again, it's a plant that works with the light coming from above. Many, many shoots everywhere, right? Yeah. We're not aiming for maturity. We're not extending it. If it reaches the top, it's just going to have to deal with that and so on. That's kind of the only taller plant that we have by now in here. This is your Splendid. Splendid, you're obviously doing quite well with. It has come off the pole a little bit, so I think we could do an extension. And maybe what we could do, because also these poles are not filled enough. That's because they're old by now, right? So all the time the moss decomposes a bit, which in itself is not an issue. It just makes your life busier. Less moss, less water retention, more frequent watering. I do have to water it a fair bit. So what we could do, you know how I like to stitch my poles next to each other? Because there's like two or three shoots on that pole. So we could just put them next to each other and then you have a thicker, more lush, more horizontal display. And we can still do an extension, but that's where we're going to go with this plant. We're already reaching the top here. And if it was summer, the top leaves would have already been burned. Terrible lighting to film against, but I hope you guys see it anyway. Same concept again. The Enjoy lies nice and lush, light coming from above. It works with the plant. So we're working with the light exposure rather than against it. And over here, oh, very crunchy. But look, it's activating a second shoot, which is not bad. So again, a little Soty roll. Let's see how that goes. Okay. Then we've got the Gloriosum. Actually, you also have the only living piece of my Gloriosum. I don't have that anymore. Oh, right. So that's going well. Unfortunately, out of everywhere in the pot that it can crawl, it decided to climb out of the pot straight away. Instead of crawling along the pot, but that is also okay. You win some, you lose some. And over here, an Adansonii. Again, we're not aiming for one mature display site. We have plants 360 degrees around the moss pile because we have light coming from everywhere. So we're working with the light rather than against the light. And you've always had a good time with your Adansonii. That one, you can... I'm pretty happy with this one because I took that from being a tiny cutting and just continue to let it grow and wrap around the pole. You don't need a ginormous mature plant. You just want it to be lush. I just want something to soften that. Exactly. Timmy doesn't want to fill in the bathroom because it's an absolute construction site at the moment. What have you got? That's the Zingonium. So this is the bottom half of what we've got in the garden. Oh, you put the bottom part in the garden and kept the top. So this is the top. Yeah, this is the top. And then this is... You can see there's four shoots on here. So the other part that's in the garden was the one down below. Okay. Yeah, it looks good. And then, ta-da! My varicose. Hang on, the lighting is terrible. Yes, show us. Turn it around so you can see the leaves. Oh my god, Timmy, this leaf is actually... Hang on, hang on. I want to see this leaf. This leaf looks so good. Turn around. So I was told if I killed this, I was never getting another velvet from you. So it gets extra special attention. Yeah, it's doing well. It loves the humidity. It comes off the pole and it is not going to mature to the same size as mine does, right? But I don't think you can handle ginormous leaves and ginormous petioles like mine. No. Like you don't have a whole room to just dedicate your life. This is not your job, right? And I don't have the time. For you, it's just a hobby. For me, it's obviously more about optimizing growth. But I think for you, we need to optimize the journey, the experience. You know what I mean? Yeah. So giving you a setup that is less work like this one, but you still have a beautiful plant. I would like this as well, actually. Yeah, okay. Oh, maybe I need to grow a fourth row. I'd like a fourth too. Actually, I was inspired by this one and I set up a new one for myself. Oh, did you? You copied me. Where I'm not aiming for maturity. I'm just aiming for a small one. Right. The queen. The queen, yeah. It's looking really good. Oh my God, I never even noticed that. There's a new one coming. Yeah. Yeah, you also did not notice the mealybugs in there that I just discovered. But that's okay. That's okay. It's clearly doing well and you've got the contender spray, right? Yeah. So you can... I think this looks really good. I really like... I think it looks so different to mine. Yeah, it doesn't look as good. No, it's different. Like your veining is not as crazy. This one looks much more narrow. Yeah. There's a lot... there's a narrower form of this available, actually. And there's a dark form and so on. But I also just wanted to show everybody online that this plant and I put my plant on screen. They're identical. This is a propagation of my plant. But if you just see them individually, like two photos, and somebody tells you that this is narrower form, you could easily buy this. You know what I mean? Yeah. You could be like, oh yeah, it's totally narrow form. Look how narrow it is. It is narrower because of the conditions that it's growing in. That's all. It's so beautiful, actually. You know... I love this. You know what's changed is since you suggested I put the moss further up around the roots, that's happened in a week. Yes. So Timmy had all of these roots and Timmy's like, oh, should I put it on the moss pile? And I was like, again, let's keep it low maintenance where we can. And we just put a moss pile on top of it because ultimately you just want these roots to not dry out and contribute to the root system. That's new. That one's new. So we just do a moss pile over here like I do with all of my others. I personally have it on a pole, but that's more to display the large leaves, right? Yeah, true. To kind of tie them back to the pole as well. And because I grew mine on a pole, I was able to propagate it so easily. So you can have one too. You're welcome. Yeah. So it's looking really, really, really good, but we need to do a bit of work out here, no? So what are we going to do? We just want to chop off a few uglies. There's actually not that much ugliness. I also want to create some more light. Yeah, but also I would keep in mind that this time of the year, the plants aren't going to replenish themselves as quickly. True. So I would be a little bit more conservative. You know, in summer where you just chop it and it doesn't matter. By next week, you've got three new leaves. This might not happen. So you might end up kind of holding the plaque. The plant wants... Stunting its growth. Yes, and the plant, the more leaves it has going into winter, the more likely it's going to survive. I cut that because it's got a new leaf coming. Okay. I think we can cut off the flowers. Yeah. Because we don't need the plant to waste energy on flowers at this stage. Should we pull on this and see if it comes down? Yeah. Let's try and get this palm front over there. Yeah, I think we should get this. Hang on, hang on. Ah, I was wanting to catch this so it doesn't fall on it. But, oh, well, it didn't fall on anything either. If we cut some here, we make a little bit more room for the Ansonia down below. Plus, you have to keep in mind that these leaves right now, the petioles are kind of going up. But over time, the petiole goes down. So it will fill in over here. I wouldn't cut too... I mean, this is also a bit manky, but I don't want to expose too much of the... What about the Colocasia? No, the one right in front of you, to your left. Just there, there. One of those, take one of those out to get more light at the back. Oh, they're both beautiful. Okay. I wouldn't. Yeah, but... I've got a lot of them and... Yeah, but it's beautiful, Timmy. Okay. And the plants are still thriving. I think you... Oh, we even have an Atapapuensi there. I forgot that we constantly just chuck ----. Yeah. It's like, put it there. Put it in Timmy's garden. See if it works. Honestly, like, I did not remember half of the plants. And, I mean... Timmy, this has crazy spider mites. Do you want to bring the camera? You can see the spider webs. Oh. You see that? Yeah. You think the camera... The camera probably has... Nah, I don't think it... Cannot see this. But, yeah, it's the underside because... Look at this, surely... Just cut the leaf. Surely you can see this. Yeah, I'm thinking we just cut this one. It's also the oldest one. Yeah. The second oldest one. Oh, yeah, look how much... See, there's so much more light here. I mean, yes, there's more light there. And I know you always want to bring light into your garden. Yeah. But if you want light in your garden, then we wouldn't have had to plant any plants. You know what I mean? Then you could have just had light. Like, light comes naturally. No, I want light to get the plants at the back. Yeah, and then they grow. And then you're going to cut them again because you... Because you're pissed that they grew too much. Can you say pissed on YouTube? Yes. I can even say f*** and s***. Just not that often. Oh. Has this one got spider mites too? Child. Yes. But again, I wouldn't be concerned with spider mites outdoors really that much, right? No, it's nature. I just think it looks so good, this one. Okay, I think... Do you think someone goes through the Amazon with Comforter or checking for spider mites? I think the main thing we really need to work on is the stuttgart. Am I cutting this? No, I think we cut it at the base. No. Have a look, Timmy. What about this plant is nice? Okay. Nothing. But if you cut it, like, the plant is going to use energy. To keep it alive right now. And like, this is... Like, look at this. This is not nice. It's not pretty. No, chocolate. Like, you're going to make your garden look worse rather than better. Okay. You want me to cut pretty leaves just to let light in and we keep the uglies? No. Not today. This one? Like this. Just empty stems. Oh my god. This is very satisfying, I have to say. So satisfying. Timmy, I told Timmy, it's like, Timmy, I want to film. Don't cut anything back so we can see what it actually... I've been holding back for two weeks now. For two weeks, yeah. And he's like, every day, he's like, can I chop now? Takes all my strength. Can I chop something now? So this is like, we live for this moment. I think we like the chopping more than the growing, huh? I think... Don't touch those. I think they're okay. This one. Look at how ugly this is. Yeah, but they're tied together. So they don't... Yeah, then you **** that one up. No. Come on. This was... Look at this. Yeah, okay. Oh my god, Bailey is so excited. What about this one? Ugly. Plus rust as well. You'd think it was his garden. Well, emotionally it is. It's not grain waste this weekend. Next weekend, I think. Yeah. Anyway. What do you think about this one? If we cut this one, we can actually see the pretty one in the back. Oh my god, you've got such a mess here. Okay, there's still ugly leaves here. But I think at some stage... Yes, we don't have to get rid of everything. Rich coming from you. What about right at the back here? Can I get rid of these empty stems? Yeah, look at the back here. So you also managed a lot of them, like you cable tied a lot of them together. Yeah, because the stems were just... But have a look at this, for example. Heliconia here. You guys, well, it's here. This one is significantly smaller than any of the ones over here because they were just outperformed by the Stuttgart. So we're giving the Heliconia a little moment to shine, maybe. Can you get rid of this one at the back? Look at this rust. Wow. Do you want to show everybody what the... Like that? I've never seen rust like that. Can the camera pick that up? It looks... What the hell is this, Timmy? This is a Stuttgart that's seen better days. I can't... Just the amount of Stuttgarts that we just cut off. Yeah, there's a lot. They all came from like these three or four rhizomes that I gave you last year. And I've done a great job growing them. Yeah, amazing. And imagine how many there will be next year. I think that's all for today from a chopping perspective. I would probably have chopped more, but... More? I take your guidance. You were stopping me from chopping. No, well, just for that gap, but that's fine. Over here, yeah, it looks a lot cleaner. I think what you just need to do is you just need to take these ones... And tie them. Done. Filled your gap. Yeah, great. See, easy. If you would, for example, untie this a little bit and you would allow this a little bit more space to move to the right. Should we just cut this for now? No, because they all lean to the front. So that's why I've done that. So just leave them, please, don't touch those ones. Because they're tied to the fence. Otherwise, they all just lean forward. Okay. You could tie one to this garden stake, for example, and then just push this over a bit. Like even if this one would be pushed over. Yeah, true. Yeah, that could work. So just use some twine. And you've got a fence post there as well. So you can work on that. You had plenty. You have plenty of greenery here. We just need to spread it out a little bit, which I suppose maybe we could have spread it out a little bit better when we planted it. Hey, it was winging a prayer. We didn't know. It was trial and error. Just pushing it. Already better, look. Yeah, perfect. Alrighty, I think it's time to say goodbye then. Do you want to show the viewers how much we chopped off? Yeah, let's have a look. This is everything that we chopped off today. That is pretty crazy. Sorry, nobody's listening. Focus on the camera. Nobody's focusing on you or me at this stage. Hi, welcome to my YouTube channel. Should we do another chop and extend? Everybody's just focused on this gorgeous one, huh? Do you want to go to the P-A-R-K? No. She'll get muddy and I've got to clean her. Do you want to go for a W-A-L-K? You do the drop and run and I've got to do the cleaning. Okay, we're going to have fun though. We can also just play fetch. He's distracted with the dog. I'll say bye guys. I've got things to do. So what's the proper outro? Come on, you should know by now. If you like the video, remember to like, subscribe and leave a nice comment and tell all your friends about it. What about the bell icon? That's the new thing. Press the bell icon so you get a notification every time I post. I think I've done, like I'm a one-take specialist. Oh yeah, actually it was the first take. Good on you. Yeah. So we just use it as it was. Yeah. Are the bell notifications like, really? Yeah, that's really important that people are watching the first day as early as possible. Makes all the difference. Oh. It does, it does. Anyway. Okay, so I'm so distracted. Yeah. Okay, I have work to do. So I'm going to love you and leave you. But thanks for watching and hope you enjoyed the garden. Bye. Oh darling! Should I go and find the person that gave you this terrible haircut? Bye.
