[Captu4ik]

Here's my B. Caapi, which is also 2 years old, enveloping another corner of my house ...

In this pic you can see a Psychotria as well ...

Here's a Trich/Lopho ...

Whatcha think ?

how old are your loph's, they're cute little goobers. I have about sixty tiny baby seedlings. Can't wait.

Captu4ik,
That Caapi is looking very nice. Only 2 years ? I did'nt know it was growing so fast. I guess you are living in a hot country ?

My salvias, tiny mimosa and two beloved San pedro (I guess) :

how old are your loph's, .

Three years, these 2 are used to produce seed.

Captu4ik,
That Caapi is looking very nice. Only 2 years ? I guess you are living in a hot country ?

In March it was in a pot, about 2' tall. I planted it on the ground and it really took off.
and yes, it is hot year-round here. It gets watered 3 x's per day !

My salvias, tiny mimosa and two beloved San pedro (I guess) :

Nice plants !
I could be wrong, but your San Pedro's appear to me to be Peruvian Torches.

kinda crappy pictures but here are some pics of the mimosa growing in the balcony of a friends appartment. We started growing it less than two years ago, its already over 2m tall (though skinny), even growing in such a small pot in the balcony,

and how it closes up the leaves at night time:

and some caapi we're growing in another friend's house

gonna have to find a new house for her because my friend is moving away and Im also leaving.. Im thinking of just going to a forest somewhere around and planting it straight on the soil, I guess it will pass completely unnoticed and grow fine but then again im not sure if I should risk it... Maybe better try to find some other friend with good space to keep it.

My Caapi and Mimosas

I moved to house with garden finally where some passiflora (though incarnata still unconfirmed) grows very well.
I start to grow datura stramonium, brugmansia suaveolens and versicolor (the big pink flower) which are currently stressed by the two days black box mail transport.

 

[Untm]

All the plants looks really beautiful and healthy!
Such a joy to see them, makes me also wish I lived in a warmer climate.
I'll post some of my plant friends later!

So I left this caapi with another friend when I moved away. Here's how it looks nowadays, it flowered for the first time after these two years It's very thin because my friend is gonna move to his brother's house where it will be in earth, Im sure then it will grow really nicely

 

[Purges]

It's at times like this that I curse the crappy weather on this island. Guess I will have to find space indoors for my cacti and caapi vine!

 

[Shadowman-x]

That`s beautiful Endless! I really feel like at some point in time we should have a large nexus plant giveaway or trade,but I know that`s against the rules and `we should go to exotic earth exchange`, but that website is dead..
