john, i noticed you filled out your climat field, thank you. if you have a rifat, it means this tree can flower, fruit and vege, at the same time at different parts of the tree. in oz they don't get regular seasonal rain, in many location, so flowering is when ever kratty thinks, she's able do do it!! if you live in the north of nt, than i would agree with all of your statements. edit: forgot your q regarding propagating. no, prepare a 3 or 4 node cutting and insert the bottom node only 5mm or so into the soil, use a humidety dome. many people posted heaps about this here, pls search for old topics (we know the search engine can be a pain in the butt, hehehe)

rooting a blue over winter
withdrawl clinic replied to withdrawl clinic's topic in Cacti & Succulents
@ saguaro, a wild anecdote indeed, sorry to say, i will not give more info. after all at times i make mistakes, and understand things wrong. but knowing i could be wrong makes me a better person. @hd, i like the prop up with rocks or bricks method, it reduces moisture issues, and save guards against, un for seen factors, for example i had roaming dogs, taking a bite into pedros once, haha. i filled the pots today, 2/3 with searls seed raising mix, it has a large ammount of crs added to it, by there manufactures. i will let it dry out more, befor planting the sections, the pots i choose are proly smaller than what other people would have choosen. again this will guard against moisture issues, better to be too dry than too wet, as we ethnobots say. only when it comes to coitus we reverse this rule. -
rooting a blue over winter
withdrawl clinic replied to withdrawl clinic's topic in Cacti & Succulents
very good advice here, thx everybody! so i sum up. when cutting sections, one most likely lays them down flat, but i have callused them upright using sieves to rest them upon. in other words glaukus makes the point, that flat lying sections will try to form roots from the base, and if after 6 weeks or so, the cuttings are put upright, the root formation will be confused!! as rooting substrate i will use, dry searls seed raising mixture, and will like hd says, not even water once. i have a very bright decking, sheltered by shade cloth, it got good air flow, good indirect light (apart from save morning sun), and i walk by ther every day so, i am able to see, what happens. what i mean is, if you place cuttings far away from your daily routine, than roaming dogs or cats or strong wind, can knock the cuttings around. with the result of failing to form roots if the issue get's un noticed for a long time... -
ok, if you have a tree than propagation will be very easy, but there is a seasonal issue attached to it. so there are many people who, have propagated this tree, via tissue culture. your method of leaf cutting is new to me so respect! i noticed that m speciosa, is a very easy 3 node cutting if you, use growth that has been produced in spring. in other words, the first flush of the season, makes the best, and easy to strike cuttings, no hormones needed. if on the other hand, you take cuttings at the end of summer, and even use advanced hormon techniques, your cutting are likely to never take root. semi hard to soft is what you aim for. kratom is an easy cutting!!

rooting a blue over winter

we call this law the blanket law, there are post about it, on this site. it happend many years ago... yep, i will go with your advice! indoors at my location is worse than out doors. north facing window, as fyzygy recommands, i will not do, it would lead to etiolation growth. the sections could be kept cold and without light, and this would keep them in suspended animation. hormones, i never used on cacti, and stopped using for everything else as well, with one exeption. i know a smart lady, she was straight and loved men, she was told to use plant hormones in a nursery (on a large scale, inhaling the dust), and they made her a dyke against her will. this is a true story and i believe the lady when she told me! -
1st q, you don't need to produce further plantlets, unless you have eager customers paying you for them. kratom, grows fast, and big, and one tree supplies you with all the needs. 2nd q, i don't even have a mobile phone, but some experience with digital cameras. unless you can manualy, adjust the focus, or have auto settings, the thing is that many pics taken will be out of focus. i think this is where you think you can improofe. your camera tries to find focus but struggles doing so. one easy trick, we use here, to avoid this issue, is called hand modelling. hold the specimen in your open palm, and the auto focus will work better, because palm and plant with roots are of similar distance to the camera. your pic's show back round far away, so your camera doesn't know what to do, keep the back round in focus or the leave cutting. or put the specimen on a table...

fellow sab astronomer's! a nice total lunar eclipse will take place tonight, from most parts of eastern oz! don't miss it. some people lunar light can heal cancer, well tonight, it will be earth light illuminating our moon, and reflecting it back to us on earth. Eclipses visible in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia - 26 May 2021 Lunar Eclipse (timeanddate.com)

yep same here! peoples, please give us updates. i, at times fell deflated if i prepare 5 or more letters pay for them, and people don't even say thank you. with easy to come by seeds, i don't worry as much, but iboga come on guys! i tried to screen the recipients of my iboga seeds, and i think i did well, and this entirely for the sake of iboga!!! i give a shit if you think i'm an ass, because i deny you iboga seeds. only few people have the skill level and set up to achive success with them. sidetrack, no iboga seeds will be offered at my iboga thread, i got none fruiting this year. my age, stopps me from taking more care of them.....

there is a chance they have seen the same fireball as me. you know, astronomy and sience started by people like us, and comminicating. meteors are not very far away from an observer, and i can imagen some middle eastern people (before the rise of islam, which i totaly respect) saying i saw this green fireball, to his friend 100 of kays away, i saw it too, he replies, but it was in another star sign. and astronomical trigonometry was born!!!
-
i saw it well, and got even rewarded, observing two bright meteors as well. once the moon got darker the milky way came out, awesome. i said something withch i think is only partly true, in other words if you would have been on the moon whilst the lunar eclipse took place, you would have enjoyed a total solar eclipse caused by earth!!!!! i think no such was ever recorded by photos... the copper moon color is produced by light passing around the earth coming from the sun, me thinks. the old earth light theory has only merit if you see a very new moon.

now, i belive that the collective concioicsness, is as well in regards to covid 19 jab's, a serious problem. allowe me to be clearer, if you are an ozzie, we would be reluctant to get the russian sputnik, or we say huawai is malicious. now a lot of people at this forum have learned to be very sientific, so they don't allow the current "zeitgeist" to cloud ther judgement. regardless it does still happen, and we have to fight the ignorance, of the people even if there opinon is held by the majorety. i dislike trucks a form of transport, but most people see them as advancement, i dont. canals and barges were the best form of transport, followed by trains. canals can transport good with the least ammount of pollution and most efficiant, but my opinon would be laughed at. thank god i will die sooner or later, i don't want to live in this world, because wher it is heading. btw, my ephedras are now 2m tall, hehehe, i never use the medicinaly, as the major seems weak or containig unwanted alkaloids.

ok, i don't disagree with you. i've seen south americans plant yellow seeds. they germ faster than red. i try to make a point towards, if you recieve this seed plant it right away, don't say it can wait anoter day.

slight side track, but responding to dl, flu input. incog, once made me aware, of as followes. we don't get the flu because we had mononucleosis in our youth. would be nice to research if this "permantent increased immune responce" could maby help as well with covid. edit: personal sharing ( feel privileged to have tort, dl and hd to reply) i had a most wonderfull day today, i use alco only occasional NOW, and haven't smoked pot in 18 months. late edit so u know and proly i gave him a link be 4 arthur brown, i know him sice i was achild pls watch: The Crazy World of Arthur Brown - Fire (Live in Munich - 25.

i got peres grafts, onto lophs and ario, which are healthy since 15 years. most importantly, don't repot with a potting mix which holds moisture much better, than the potting mix already used!! the worst, for many plants (catha ephedra & co) is a water line. water line is a term used, to describe, a soil which retains moisture, much better than another soil (in this case the soil the plant came with) as well in the pot, or even in the garden. i use searls seed rising mix, and like when it turns hydrophobic. most commercial potting mix is designed to, retain moisture, something you don't want for ario and co. saguaro, gave very good advice, regarding some issues! just water, once a 14 night and nothing much over winter, if the graft fails, cut the peres out, let the ario dry for weeks and than re root, onto searls seed rising mix, or cacti mix.

i have posted 5 letters with 10 seeds each, enjoy. i have dried the seeds for maybe 3 weeks, but noticed the coating was still sticky, so to be save (and avoid any fungus issues) place the seeds (for storage) in the fridge, with zip bag opend.

you make a good point here, leaves might benefit from defatting, bark never needs to be defatted. it's a very sustainable source, yes but to be not an economic one. just give it time, be patient to grow for 7 years or so, before getting a haverest. use phalaris for a quick fix, but bark for real work. viridis is the best for aya, but bark, is less desirable for aya. i suspect there, is an issue with viridis, in the aqueous phase, and it doesn't like to move onto the solvent phase. would be interessting to do an experiment starting with b and not with an a....

two more lot's available, come on it's a freebie.

not an easy plant to, grow big and to get lot's of seeds. i struggle even, i a very warm part of oz. iboga, is a very special plant, and ants know that better than us humans, so often she struggles in cultivation, because of amphids. ants place amphids onto iboba, and than milk the amphids, to get the medicine/drug. if ant's love a plant, humans should love it too.

and the more, issues you might create, at the zone where the organic meet's with the solvent. so i say, allthough finer is better, it can create problems. to me best is fresh, and only slightly manipulated, bark. dried bark, is almost useless, one can't pulverize wet bark well, so i assume your recovery will be minor...(because you got dry bark).

that's a good question, unspeakable 6 letter nick person.... i think to know, that some of the passifloras for eating get grafted onto passiflora caerulea, because of her virgor. vigor?
