viridis

Hi everyone, After reading through the forum, here's my understanding of how to use Psychotria Viridis dried leaves (100g) and Banisteriopsis Caapi Yellow 30:1 extract resin paste (20g): The resin should be mixed with distilled water and consumed about an hour before brewing the Viridis...

The stem cuttings (rooting in soil, water, and coir) developed crystals on the surfaces and undersides of leaves. I was told that this is referred to as "plant edema," and is often the result of high humidity and cells over-hydrating till bursting (this releases nutrients, salts, oxalic acid, &c).

Stem cuttings in different mediums. From left to right: a stem cutting in water (I will be transferring to coco coir in a week or two), a stem cutting in 50% coco coir and 50% soil (pasteurized), and a stem cutting in coco coir (pasteurized). I trimmed the leaves back a bit to reduce water loss.

Leaf cuttings in coco coir (pasteurized). I've never succeeded with this technique. Usually I have success with root growth, but then they stall or rot. Perhaps this time will be different.

Small leaves with stems and leaf cuttings wrapped in wet paper towel. I will be transferring these to soil in a week or two.
