Another great video, thanks. I have grown my arums (crowborough) on a shallow shelf in the koi fish pond for the past 5 years. No aquatic soil, just a bit of gravel around the roots in the basket. The higher nutrients from the fish poop mean I can divide these every spring as they grow rapid this way. They flower really well too. Pond is covered in winter and water never freezes (no lower than 5degrees). Keep up the good work 😊
Thanks for sharing your experience with this plant. It's great to find out what works well for other gardeners. I feel that fush poop is an underrated fertiliser. We also really appreciate your supportive comments. Kind regards Simon and Lorna 😀
I have Arum lillies they have done well for me over the years .I grow mine quite near to the house and next to a smoke bush , the white on the purple looks good. Another interesting plant I have is Arum Pictum Italicum, nice winter foliage but dies back over the summer .
Hi Dreammaker, I agree that colour combination would be amazing. We done see Arum picture italics for sale around here, but that's because it's seen as an invasive weed on the south coast. Very pretty, though. Simon
Great video, It was the bees knees. I would love to grow an arum lily in the garden but I have no room. I have two calla zantedeschias growing in pots and put the pots in the glasshouse in winter. My mother has four arum lilies in her garden and they are beautiful plants.
Hi Nicholas, you can probably hide one somewhere. They will take sun or shade and will cope well in a large pot. You could always say your Mum gave you a root section as a gift? No one can deny you having one then!
@@walkingtalkinggardeners Good idea just have to convince my other half we need another pot since we have fifty eight already in the front garden its like a mini garden centre at the moment. Good news my agapanthus and calla lilies in pots are starting to bloom and the the day lilies in pots shoots are up. Everything else in the flowerbeds and pots are blooming.
@@walkingtalkinggardeners I feed all my pots with good old fashioned tomato feed once a week. The flowerbeds get a mulch and the plants get a handful of fish blood and bone every March and that's it until the following spring.
