Growing B.Caapi in canada ?

[sigmundfreuid]

Does anyone think its possible ? growing in a pot outside during summer , and inside during winter?

I think it is..since I do the same with salvia..but I havent tried growing caapi yet..and im in vancouver..other places in canada are not so temperate..

im in Quebec, which isnt as hot as BC but id love to grow my own caapi for the leafs

I guess, if you give it a really great first season with lots of sun, water and a good soil with large place to the roots. Caapi is a rather hardy plant if well established. I guess it may pose a problem to move lianas in and out each year though, if your plant ever gets that big!

I forgot about the lianas , i really need to move to south america or something like that.

Id rather see more people sticking around in canada and growing these plants and doing this work here..this place needs it.

yes but you'd have to be rich or have big heated greenhouse for that.
Yeah id love to grow a mimosa too, their so nice.

you can grow them as a -more or less- bush. can see them doing ok in canada indoors, but wouldnt expect much stem harvesting from them.
