I'm planting these all over my garden just to spite this title
I planted a monstera in the backyard a few years ago because i wanted the fruit. It has turned into a monster that has taken over a whole fence line
Rubber tree – contact your local zoo! Adored by giraffes iirc
I have at least two of these 🤪and have quite a lot of cutting back to do. As we are getting older it is becoming quite difficult. Thank you for your interesting and helpful videos.
I have a strelitzia nicolai in a pot. It could only have got there as a seed blown over from a neighbour. It took a while to identify when it was tiny, and now looks quite handsome at about 2 ft. I hope it carries on happily in the pot because I don't fancy it at its full height. Funny thing is there are no other seedlings in my garden.
I wish I could have a garden for those plants but I live in canada
Maybe in qld
Great job Jeramy
My teens planted a monstera in the 90's. Its now over 15 metres long and each leaf a metre square span
I loved this Plant's thats rubber Plant's i have that 6 different colours i did love this Tropical Plant's also beautiful Fruit Salad Monstera Plant's also beautiful
Its good I've got all of these in a pot in my fernery.
you could have come to the front of my place in Brisbane for an example of a 10m high Bird of Paradise, being held up by a Hakea. Ill have to hire that excavator!
Bamboo could also have gone on this list. The advertised 5m high clumping variety that i have in the backyard has grown to 15m! A real monster!
Oh goody, I cant wait for my monstera to supersize. Mt garden is huge and I live on a farm so I dont mind at all.
