I have heard from various places over the last few years here and there that ayahuasca is slowly being depleated in the amazon..especially int he area surrounding iquitos..this really saddens me..I try to grow myown entheogens..but DMT and ayahuasca is something I am not growing yet..

Does anyone have more info on the actaul situation reguarding the supply of natural caapi and admixtures still left?

I think it's important that people are cultivating ayahuasca plants..and other entheogens for that matter..so that they are still here for furture generations and also so we are not using the jungle as a sort of commodity, depleating the native tribes supply and eating away at the rainforest..

Can anyone reccomnd a good supplier of live caapi..and has anyone here had experience with growing from seed? Is it a hard plant to get started?..I have a small indoor greenhouse..so humidity/temp is not a problem.
 
I have bought seeds from www.spiritgarden.co.uk, and I now have 3 very small Caapi plants growing, 2 of them looking healthy.
I also have some black ayahuasca cuttings and chaliponga cuttings that are sprouting. I dont have a greenhouse so just growing indoors.
I agree, if you have the space its important to cultivate. I dont expect mine will ever get big enough to harvest, but its good to grow all the same.

I can understand why Aya is getting scarce in Iquitos though... it does seem to be Ayahuasca Tourism Central.
 
wild ayahuasca is definitely dissapearing, but most commercially available ayahuasca, as well as those used by churches such as santo daime, are majorly grown, anyways.. I dont think ayahuasca is ending, there's plenty of plantations out there and cuttings being made all the time

that being said, I think its anyways always wonderful when fellow explorers start growing their own ethnobotanicals, as in the very least its a nice personal experience to grow a plant, takes out some CO2 off the atmosphere and helps preserving the genetic diversity of these plants :)
