Great info that I've been looking for... Thanks so much from Mexico! Your video sort of arrived by accident, interesting that when I did a youtube search on Canna lily care and propagation your video did NOT show up at all... and yours is the absolute best!
Thank you, I appreciate it. I have no idea how to get into the top of the search rankings. I just try to make the best videos that I can, and hope they are watched.
Thank you, I try to plant the bananas near the back fence, then cannas, then elephant ears in front so that the taller plants are in back and the shorter plants in front. This video shows better views of my garden. czcams.com/video/XitAVDrsrFw/video.html Good luck on your garden!
I grew my canna from seed this winter. I wasn't able to score the seeds so I let them sit in a glass of water for nearly 2 months before I saw a root. Now I have 9 baby cannas. 😅
Yes, I need to plant some canna rhizomes too. I left most of them in the ground for the winter, and they’re finally starting to sprout. Hope you get lots of seeds!
Yes, the Radius Root slayer is a monster shovel!!!!!!! I will never be without one if I can help it. The handle on my previous one broke the other day, and I immediately ordered a new one.
Amazingly in depth video. I've learned things about cannas that I never knew. I ordered some Chocolate Sunrise and Tropicanna Gold rhizomes that arrived looking like the Maui Punch you ordered. I planted them in 1 gal. plastic grow bags about a month ago, and I haven't seen any signs of life yet.
Thank you, I hope your rhizomes grow soon. I've ordered too many rhizomes that didn't grow, or grew the wrong plant, or some I knew weren't even Canna rhizomes. I have gotten refunds and replacements, but even the replacements didn't grow. I've given up on buying Canna Lilies as rhizomes. I only buy them as seeds or plants now. If you find a Pretoria, the leaves look like the Tropicanna Gold, but I think the Tropicanna Gold flower is prettier. I still don't have a Maui Punch in my garden, hopefully yours will grow.
@@Tropifornia Thanks. Giving up on buying on buying Canna rhizomes might not be a bad idea. I haven't had much luck with it. That said, I ordered some Pretorias that were delivered yesterday. I haven't taken them out of the bag yet, but I can see some sprouts, and rhizomes feel fleshy. A while back, a friend of mine gave me some divisions of what I've since found out are Striped Beauty cannas. They have leaves like Pretoria, but they're fairly short. They have yellow flowers with one white stripe down the middle. I've kept them in a largish pot. I've never divided them, but a couple of weeks ago, I did cut off and transplant a piece from the edge of the clump.
That Striped Beauty is pretty. Are you in the US? We can exchange seeds and rhizomes at the end of the summer, when I dig them up. If you want some new varieties email me at my tropifornia gmail address.
@@Tropifornia Thank you! I'm on the Texas coast. Sounds like a great idea, although I have to say I don't have much to exchange. Aside from the Striped Beauty, I have a variety that was here when we moved here. I found out pretty recently that it's an old variety called Roma. The flowers are yellow and orange with orange spots. It's very common around here. I also have one with orange flowers that I haven't identified.
Those are two varieties that I don’t have. Let me know which varieties you would like to grow. I have plenty of rhizomes after the summer. I’m in California. Send me an email whenever you want to exchange plants.
I live in Canada, i dont store mine in ziplocks. They will rot. Dig the bulbs after frost knocked back the foliage. Spread them out on basement floor to dry the soil a bit. I leave the soil on, no washing! That extra water makes mold over the winter. After the soil has dried off around the bulbs place them loosely in a large plastic tote (not a cardboard box it’s too drying) in no more then 2 high loose layers, place in cold room and lay a piece of plastic tarp loosely over top of bins. If needed place something between bin and tarp to allow some air like a stick. Some air gets around but not enough to continue to dry them out. When spring comes they are fat crispy dormant tubers, with growth buds ready to act. They have lightened up by maybe 1/3 over the winter but as I said if you broke them apart they would be crispy and juicy like a fresh carrot. Then when I go to plant I bring them out, sit them in sunlight to start waking them up for a day or so, many need to be separated into smaller chunks which I only do at replanting time as the broken cuts will bleed moisture and dry out the rhizomes before spring if I did it at fall. Do not separate in the fall for storage. Soil is their packing medium. Paper wicks moisture away drying them faster. Peat also likes to wick away moisture. Sawdust wicks away moisture. Best to leave the soil on them, shake off the excess, air dry on the floor a week or 2 depending how dry your house air is, just so the soil dried mostly. What’s stuck in the crevices between bulbs will be moist not sopping wet, and that’s enough moisture to keep the bulbs alive for winter. Your experiments show the newspaper desiccates the bulbs. The ziplocks are creating wet marshland experience that kills the bulbs. Leaving them in a pot of water is really asking for rot and it’s over stressing the plants when they don’t need it. I have to lift my plants in October, and they don’t leave the basement until about 1st of June when I plant them. Zone 5. That’s 7 months or slightly less in storage, they grow well, reproduce to 5x the rhizomes in the growing season and are over 7 foot tall at the flowers. My method i don’t have to check on them and don’t do more than glance their way to see if a mouse got in the cold room and gnawing on them when i go get some jars of jam.
Wow, thank you for all of your advice. I will try your method of storing them to make a video. I’m in zone 9b, so I just leave them in the ground all winter. But I need to try your method, because many viewers have asked about overwintering their cannas and live in zones where your method would work. Thank you again, I really appreciate your advice. ❤️🌱🌴
I started to love this plant more and more after seen this video, can you sell me some seeds of the variegates Green/Red and the other variegated you have.
None of the cannas with variegated leaves that I have produce viable seeds. I can send you some seeds from other varieties, send me your mailing address to tropifornia@gmail.com
Thanks for posting this video! Very informative!🙌🏼. It let me know that I’m doing it right. Last year I planted cleopatras and Pretoria in large ceramic pots and they did great but I plan on transplanting to the ground now. I recently planted Russian red in the ground. There were about 3 plants in one 5 gallon nursery pot so I divided and planted them. I ordered musifolia seeds from fb marketplace and tried the boiled water method. I received 8 seeds and since I’ve never done this before I only did 4 seeds to start with in case I wasn’t successful. Two of them are doing really good. They have leaves about 3 inches tall. The third one has a tail but no leaves yet. The fourth one just would not crack open after several attempts with the boiling water so I used a nail file to get it going. I’m waiting for it to get a tail so I can transfer it to soil.
You’re welcome! The Pretoria and Cleopatra are the prettiest ones. Cannas are so easy to propagate that you will have a full garden of them soon. They should grow great in SoCal with all the heat, just give them lots of water.
Have yours flowered this summer? This is my third season of growing them, and the plant now has over five blooms at the same time. I bought them for the variegated foliage but now love the flowers.
I received this beautiful plant as a gift. It was in a pot with different other plants. Our climate gets too cold in the winter, but it seems to be doing well indoors. I'd like to have it alone in a pot. What should I do?
You can take the rhizome out of the pot and put it in another with no problems. Do not use a ceramic pot though. The rhizome can actually grow so big that it will crack a ceramic pot. Good luck.
I have a mango canna and it’s beautiful. I haven’t seen any insects eating it except for some tiny grasshoppers. Not on the leaves but on the beautiful blooms and within a day or two they are turning brown and loosing their blooms. I knock them off but they come back and it’s usually only one or two at a time. I used Neem oil spray in hopes they would not return but they are still there ruining my beautiful blooms. 😢
I live in south Missouri, and normally lots of snow and ice,would like to know best way to dig up and store for winter months, so can re- plant in the spring
I’m able to leave mine in the ground so I don’t have first-hand knowledge of the best way for your situation. I have read that you should cut off the foliage and dig up the rhizomes and store them in a cardboard box with peat moss in a cool dry area that stays between 40 and 60 degrees. I hope it works for you.
@@Tropifornia Most of my cannas are in your garden! 😀I have canna indica and canna Wyoming (from my parents garden), canna Stuttgart, canna Cleopatra, canna musaefolia (the good one). I have a canna, sold in France as musaefolia Rubra, but it is Russian Red. I have a canna sold as Musaefolia, but it is Marabout or Tueckheimii. I have a canna, given by a friend, with big red flowers, and no name. I bought twice, canna iridiflora ehemanii, but it had a virus, so I threw them. I bought canna Australia last saturday (a plant with no virus) And I have the only canna you don't have in your garden, canna wolf song. I have more hedychiums than cannas in my garden.They are easier to grow them for me.
@@Tropifornia I only have 2 plants producing seeds (canna indica and Marabout) and I never sowed my seeds. But I saw your method. Perhaps I will try next year, just to try.😀 I don't have enough space to put other cannas in my garden, but you are nice. I sow a lot of hedychiums, it's easier. I also pollinate myself my hedychiums for the fun. So if you look for hedychiums, I can send you seeds.
Thanks, it’s 10x longer than my usual videos, and my video editing software crashed while I was making it 😂. I’m still waiting on the Nicolai to flower. This will be the third season in my garden, so hopefully they’ll flower soon.
I don’t have a specific soil mixture, but I add compost to my garden. My city gives out free bags of compost every spring. I have a compost pile in my backyard that I use. I trench compost by digging holes in my garden and fill them with garden waste. Plus I leave lots of leaf litter on the ground to decompose after I prune.
How do you keep your cannas from leaf rollers? Do you spray them? If so, what chemicals do you use? I love cannas too but I always have problems with leaf rollers eating most of the leaves.
I’ve never seen leaf rollers in my garden, I do find snails on the leaves eating holes. If I had leaf rollers I would try a Bacillus thuringiensis caterpillar spray to kill them.
At time 14.27, when you are showing the tropicana canna lilly, is the green big leaf plant behind it a white bird of paradise??..I thought they are indoor plants and cannot take sun?
The white bird grows great outdoors in our area, mine is in direct sun. Some of the leaves will turn brown when there is frost. You can plant yours outdoors, it will have a better chance of flowering compared to a white bird grown indoors.
@@Tropifornia thanks for sharing information ....cant wait to plant it. getting SOD installed this weekend, will add BoP next weekend in the flower bed.
I don’t have a majesty palm, but I have a mature monstera that survived the winter outdoors. The frost did kill a couple of leaves and it’s now growing new leaves. I planted a couple of baby monsteras this week, but I will probably put them in the greenhouse for the winter.
Oh and I forgot to mention that I bought some rhizomes from a nursery here in Southern California. They too looked very dry but I thought that was how they were supposed to look so I planted them a few weeks ago but I guess they’re duds because I haven’t seen any signs of growth yet. Maybe I should have planted them in nursery pots first instead of the ground 🤔
Oh shoot, I guess my first comment didn’t go through because I don’t see it.🤔. I thanked you for the very informative video because I’m new to gardening with cannas. I’ve tried each of the methods you covered and this video let me know that I’m on the right track.🙌🏼
I haven’t been able to get very dry rhizomes to grow. See if you can get a refund. I don’t buy rhizomes anymore, just plants and seeds. Send an email to my tropifornia gmail address, and I can send some seeds to you in Sep/Oct when I harvest my canna seeds.
I recently found an excellent canna source and now won’t purchase from anywhere else. I can’t believe the rhizomes you were sent, that company should be ashamed!
You can share it with everyone here, many viewers have asked where I got my plants and I post the links to the website. We would all appreciate a great place to buy quality cannas.
Wow this is one the best informative plant growing videos I’ve watched on CZcams. Much appreciated! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This is a great video. I'm only half way through. Will come back to finish watching later.
Thank you, I appreciate it! Here is my newest video about keeping my Canna Lilies blooming all summer. czcams.com/video/p4A17wzQQUM/video.html
I grew my canna from seed this winter. I wasn't able to score the seeds so I let them sit in a glass of water for nearly 2 months before I saw a root. Now I have 9 baby cannas. 😅
I tried pouring boiling water in a glass full of seeds and many of them grew roots in about a week, but some didn’t grow roots at all.
Wow 😮 thanks for sharing how to germinate the seeds, I really appreciate all your videos of your beautiful plants😀🥰🙏🏼
Thanks for watching, if you need canna seeds let me know. I have plenty to share.
Now is the time to separate & replant my Canna Lily. Thanks you so much. Will look for seeds this year
Yes, I need to plant some canna rhizomes too. I left most of them in the ground for the winter, and they’re finally starting to sprout. Hope you get lots of seeds!
This is THE BEST video I have ever watched on CZcams ❤️💖🤗, thank you thank you so much and I just subscribed, like and shared!💯
Wow, thank you! It took me about 30 hours to make the video. It’s nice to hear compliments like yours, I really appreciate it!
Yes, the Radius Root slayer is a monster shovel!!!!!!! I will never be without one if I can help it. The handle on my previous one broke the other day, and I immediately ordered a new one.
Wow, how did the handle break? The Root Slayer is my number 1 garden tool. I recently bought a Grampa’s Weeder I need to try out.
I love this channel
Your comments inspire me to keep making videos to show my garden! ❤️🌴👍
Me too.

Thanks! ❤️🌴🌱
I live in a colder climate, can these grow inside. My mother just brought me some bulbs.❤
I haven’t tried it, but I think they would grow very slow or be dormant inside a house during the winter.

可以請問如何雜交美人蕉呢？我的美人蕉2種顏色的種子為什麼會不同呢？一種是像黄豆大的種子而另外一種卻是非常非常小的细子？我都是熟点才採集的？
美人蕉可以有不同的種子大小。當花朵異花授粉時就會發生雜交。在將種子培育成植物之前，您不會知道它是否是雜交種。
