Hey, what's up garden and friends? Jeff here, Tropical Plant Party. How's everybody doing? I hope you're good. I am great. I'm over here again ready to do a planter. I have a lot going on out here and I can't really move the camera in any kind of way or else it's gonna give way everything that's in this weekend's vlog. So I guess if you follow me on Instagrams and you already have an idea of what's going on. But anyways, I have this Chinese fan palm here. It's getting kind of big. It needs to be repotted and I thought I'd go ahead and toss it together into a quick little planter with some other annuals, maybe some tropicals. I might go ahead and squeeze this kind of full, maybe two full. I don't know. We'll see and just have fun with it. I already got a little bit of soil here in this pot. Hopefully it's enough. If not, no big deal. I can always add some more. Here we go. That's great about where I want this. I want this set when it's in here and settled and straightened out and everything's at the top of the swelch. It's about an inch. No more than that below the top of the pot. That way I can water it without soil gushing all over the place. So it's the next day. It just started pouring out of absolutely nowhere while I was filming. So I had to go in and run my camera. I thought I should offer an explanation to the lighting difference. I have this begonia here. It was in a hanging basket. I need the orange for a different project, but it's half orange and half pink, which would have driven me crazy. So I'm going to take this out. I'm going to put it in here. Very easy to go ahead and just divide these right out. Look at how easily that pulls out. Perfect. Okay, I have moved to the shade. Not as pretty of a background, but at least we can see what's going on here. Lighting just not on my side today. That's alright though, because I got this done and it looks pretty. That's all I was going for. Something nice and pretty. Oh my gosh. I just realized I think I shot part of this video in slow-mo. No, no. Here's the finished product if that didn't work out. I'll do a recap. This might be a really short video. So I have a croton on each side here, on the right and left. These were just like an assorted tropical plant from a big box store. But in half, one on both sides. And in the front is the iconia bagonia, which is very fragile. And I broke it. A whole bunch of them. I was putting it in here. So hopefully it recovers from that. It should be alright though. That this particular one I think is called like unbelievable first kiss. Something like that. I don't know. Because this was in a hanging basket with an orange one. So the label that was in there was for the orange, not this pretty coral pink one. Then I've also tucked in two of the wave petunias, one on each side. The idea with those is that they'll trail down the front. These particular wave petunias smell very nice. I don't know if that's what they sell them for. I have noticed that the more blue, a petunia is more bluey purple. They seem to have more of a scent to them, which is nice. I'm going to have this near an entryway. And I can't place it right now because that'll give away a lot of what's going on in the vlog that comes out after this video. That's why we're sitting over here in the shade. And then in the front, right there in the middle is a creeping journey. These grow very nicely, nice and tight growth that'll come down the front of the pot. I think the color of that foliage is going to go well with the bluey pink color or bluey purple color of those wave petunias. Oh, and then the dusty millers. I've tucked two of those in there just to kind of give something a little bit wider on the inside to draw the eye in. So it just sort of kind of rounds it out a little bit, I think. As far as all these plants are concerned, the Chinese fan palm, the curtains, the creeping Jenny, and the dusty millers and the wave petunias, they can take full sun. The iconia bagonia, however, they, at least I noticed last year in the heat of the summer, they didn't really appreciate full sun. But what's nice though, that everything that's in here can also take part sun. The wave petunias are going to bloom the best with lots and lots of sun. So if when the heat of summer arrives, it looks like the iconia bagonia is just not feeling the lighting. I can move it to where it's not getting as much intense light in the afternoon, because that's where you want them to have more cooler conditions. Afternoon sun, more shade when it's hot outside. I can also very easily swap this out with a sun inpatient or even a small hibiscus that would work well too. But like I said though, everything that's in here doesn't have to have full sun. I would prefer a tiffle sun so that the petunias, those wave petunias really do their thing and flower nicely. I was originally going to put the super tunia vista silverberry in here. And that's because the super tunia vista they like an awful lot of sun. You get more full flowering along the plant when you have a lot of sun for them. But I've grown the super tunia vista bubble gum in shade before and it did wonderfully. It was a little bit longer, the flowers were a little bit more sparse, but still for a petunia. It did fantastic. The problem though is I've wanted the purple in here with those pinks and the oranges that are in the croatens. I like the color combination. I think it looks nice together. It's going to tie my front and back yard together for all because that's also similar to what I'm going to be doing in the hanging baskets this year on my front porch. So it's going to need a few weeks for everything to kind of get over being torn apart and tossed in here. But it is going to look really nice when these petunias, these wave petunias start to take off and trail down the side of a pot. Like I said, I'm going to have to keep an eye on this bagonia. Okay, that's all. This video may not have come together very well. Since I apparently filmed a very large chunk of it in slow motion. That's all right. It happens. Not that big of a deal. I mean, I was just kind of tossing plants together. That's in super serious. I should have mentioned I did also throw a little bit of a spoma biotone starter in here while I was kind of dropping the plants in. The biotone starter is going to help the plants. Since I had to pull them apart, a lot of them had to pull apart at least. It's going to help them reroute and get going a little bit better. It would have to make for a nice, more healthy, sturdy plants. I know. It's very full. But that's okay. That's what I was going for. And I really do. I can't wait until these petunias take off because I think that that bluey purple color is going to go really well with the oranges and the coral pinks in here. As well as that really pretty shard-chew screen from the creeping Jenny. Okay, that's going to do it. Thanks for hanging out. Well, maybe you got to watch me plant something. I don't know. As always, I'll have updates on the planters as they grow and as I place them up on my Instagram. All my social medias leaking down below. Follow me and I'll follow you back. I am on Instagram way more than anything else. It's fun on there. We can go get you those pictures and be plant nerds together. Updates on this one will have to wait. Like I said, I can't place it yet. You have to wait until after this weekend's vlog. But there will be updates. There won't be much to update on this one in the next few days anyways. It's got to fill out. And recover. I felt a lot of snapping when I was putting this bagonia in there. And if you're going to hit the like button, it makes a big difference for the channel. For the videos, I really do appreciate it. So thank you and subscribe as well. I upload multiple times a week. Sit that notification bell that way. You know when new videos come out. Oh, and as this Chinese fan palm grows some more as it matures the foliage is going to start to be up higher and higher and higher. And then you can kind of thin out some of this lower growth a little bit. It's not going to need it. And that'll help free things up for the crotens on the side as well. As always, I hope everybody's doing well. Have a great day, great life. Everything's just going beautifully for you. And as always, most importantly, everybody. Keep on growing. Bye bye.
