Hard to get good pics, but tried my best........

 

Its getting thick in my jungle, but just planted some more Ficus Dammorpsis Highland Form, still babies, but the others are growing like weeds. Also got some large Bromeliads few months ago cant wait to see them get big.  Don't have pics of my already large Bromeliads, but will add them later. Some  Alcantarea Imperialis Ruby's, and Some Oderata's/

 

 

Palms:  Several Foxtails, All Form of Kings, Couple Bizzys, some THai GIants, 2 Watermelon CHambeys, Becarriophoenix Alfredi, Some Rare Trachycarpus Princeps, a lot of Brahea Decumbens, SOme Bottle Palms, and many more cant name em all.

 

Fruit:  2 Papaya Trees

 

Trees: Have a brazillian Fern tree that is crazy fast growing, A Pink Cedar Tree, A Rainbow Eucalyptus.

 

Have several Elephant Ears in there, Plenty of Bromeliads, and Plumeria's.  People so worried about water, these things hardly use any water and look better than any succulents Ive ever seen... LOL... you don't need water to have tropical garden.... Im on grip 3x week and everything happy.  2x week I use 4, 1gallon jugs of a tea my local hydro store makes and gives away for free....

 

 

Ill add  more pics later.

 

thanks for looking.

It is like a little fairyland out of Disneyland or somewhere. 

Cheers Steve

It is not dead, it is just senescence.

Great place man! The palms and bromeliads are killer. I would preface the comment about water usage with "in my climate" because pretty much everything you have there would require heaps of water in my climate to look even half as good as yours do. We haven't had a day under 100 degrees in about a month and a half! If I want a tropical-looking garden, heavy watering is a must. I have to be very judicious on what I plant so as to compensate for planting thirsty plants by planting non-thirsty, tropical-looking plants. Here's what goes on in my head: "Want a beccariophoenix (water hog)? Plant aloe striata to make yourself feel better" lol. "Oh, you say you want a sabal? let's throw some senecio in the mix."  I have some Alcantarea Imperialis in pots that are doing amazing, and also have aechmea blanchettiana that I'm adjusting to my front yard's sun exposure for planting at a later time.

I've used some of the compost tea from the local pot shop too! Now that you brought that up, I'll have to stop by and grab some soon.

Yeah the tea works good from local hydro store.    You could plant some bizzy's or Brahea Decumbens! They love heat and get crazy blue.   There's a lot of cool palms you can plant in 100's n dry climate.  Just less to choose from I get it.  I am in ultimate climate yes and I have clay so it holds water well. I use a drip system runs 3x week for like 10 min I think.

As canopy develops, at some point you will have to make decisions if you want to continue growing some of the lower growing items which demand sun like the plumerias.  You have definitely done a nice job with the variety of colors!  It will be interesting to watch as things get bigger over the next 3-5 years.
