Hey guys, I figured it'd be a good idea to start a thread for us growers. I just got my hands on Maiden's Wattle(Acacia maidenii) & Psychotria viridis (Chacruna). I've been digging up information in regards to things to know when growing these girls, what types of soil they like, and all that.

So, if you're growing any plants, please post the species, and what conditions they seem to like best.

For P. Viridis:

They do need a twice-daily spraying to keep them wet or the leaves will all curl up unhealthily. Or alternatively use some method of keeping the humidity in the room above 70%. The ideal temp is 25C (77F). Too much higher than that and you'll have problems with leaf rust which the species is prone to get. They can be propagated by burying a leaf so that half of it sticks up out of the dirt. This keeps it alive and it eventually (after several months) puts out roots and forms a sprout. The gradual harvesting of leaves allows for the making of ayahuasca or extraction to crystal DMT...

Haven't found too much for Maiden's Wattle, but we'll see how it goes :)
 
Got a couple of 8 year old Maidenii.They sit in a sunny UK window in big pots, 6 foot one and a more stunted one.They'd love to go out but frost would kill them. Never let them get dry, had more and they died of thirst. I flood them every couple of weeks. They've never flowered though, I doubt they ever will with indoor conditions. Never really got to grips with what they really like they'll sometimes look pretty sick but bounce back for no apparent reason that I can see. Looking pretty well at the moment:)
 
fourthripley, what type of soil do you have your Maidenii in? What are the average temps of the room the plant is in?

Benzyme, did your cat ever use the p. viridis for hyperspace purposes, and if so, how was it, and what method did your cat use?
 
Just ordinary bagged compost. Its in the family room so I guess fairly constant room temp, 70? I'm wearing a T shirt as I type, that sort of temp:)
 
nice, nice. I've got both my girls in 6" square pots, using Fox Farm Ocean Forest, which is pretty rich, and I figure they should be able to survive on that without feeding. we shall see..
