Planting up Tropical Planters

Just thought I would bring everyone along while I went over my thought process behind some of my planters. These adonidia palms get planted up with annuals every year, usually supertunia vista bubble gum and sweet potato vines. This year I wanted these tropical planters to be bursting with color, so I planted them up with a petunia of each color that I had available to make a rainbow planter. I also put cordyline fruticosa 'kiwi' around the base of the christmas palms and some sunpatiens/ sun impatiens. Petunias used include: supertunia vista silverberry, supertunia vista paradise, purple wave petunias and supertunia honey. I planted these with a blend of high quality potting mix with some organicall rich compost and continuous release fertilizer blended in, oh, and some palm fertilizer for the Adonidia palms. I remembered just today that I need those sunimpatinens for a different project, so i will likely pull those out and replace them with coleus, or a variety of sun loving caladium, or leave them as they are. Fertilizing petunias is a time suck, I put a lot of continous release in the potting mix to buy me a little time, but in a few weeks I will be fertilizing weekly with a liquid fertilizer that has a good amount of potassium for them. The Cordyline fruticosa 'Kiwi' / Ti plants will be left in these planters with the palms trees and will be grown indoors during the cold seasons as houseplants.
