Banisteriopsis caapi cultivation notes and discussion

Seasol is good, I'd probably advise a more organic nutrient than powerfeed, but that's just me, there's nothing wrong with it per se. -
Banisteriopsis caapi cultivation notes and discussion
Strontium Dawg replied to sagiXsagi's topic in Ethnobotany
My vines get this sort of look during winter from cold dry wind. But it's summer so clearly not the same issue. If your vine is in a pot, how long has it been in there since last repotting? They do much better when in the ground, but that may not be an option for you. They like a lot of root space and lots of water. Have you been feeding it? Caapi are voracious feeders, they'll eat it up in summer. Without more knowledge of the conditions it's growing in, most of us would only be guessing as to what the issue is a d what to do about it. -
Possibly transpiration condensing and then falling? I have a few indoor plants that drop water off otherwise dry leaves, assume it's the same.

Edit: staying out of this as i don't know all the facts.

I'll post you some narrow seeds.

You're not doing anything wrong, they just do that sometimes. Hot days have caused a few of mine to bend and lay down, or snap entirely.

I've got a big bag of fresh seed pods if you want some.

Ok, I hardly ever use the PC version so maybe someone else can chime in.

Sorry for being a smartarse, but I couldn't help myself. Are you using the forum on a computer or mobile device? That's probably the first question. Things will appear differently depending on which. Once we know, we can assist you a bit.

You can trim their wing feathers so they can't take off.

You appear to be using it already...

Triacontanol can be supplied by alfalfa meal or mulch, and a little is ok. I don't like adding anything that's not organicfor the reasons you state though.

What to do with full variegated cutting?
Strontium Dawg replied to Pedro99's topic in Cacti & Succulents
To prevent that shrinkage, what you can do is prepare the stock as if you were about to graft, bevel edges/ribs, then leave it for a week or two. It might pucker, but then when you are about to graft, just make a fresh slice and bobs your uncle. -
I have 6 plants approx 4-5 years old from OP seed collected at Dawson's. The mother is the legendary "Ben", the daddy could be any of the amazing plants at Dawson's. Plants 1-6 from left to right (bottom to top in 2nd picture). Plant 1- approx 23 cm $20. Plants 2-4 approx 27cm $25 each. Plants 5, 6 approx 30cm $30 each. Postage extra, around $15 for reg and $18 for express. Australia only. Can't do WA, Tas or NT due to quarantine. Please comment plant # and sold and send me a pm. Each sale gets an extra gift, might be some of my tricho seeds or another small seedlings of random origin. Cheers folks.

My cactus and caapi are loving the heat. Everything else is dead. I was expecting cactus casualties and I had a big column bend and snap last week, but apart from that, they are all absolutely booming.

I've never been big on resolutions, but I'm giving up drinking tonight for a year at least. I plan to dieta with as many plants as I can. I need to get in tune. And more catch-ups with the amazing crew of SAB legends. What are your plans?

Thanks for the tip, if I find myself struggling I'll try that.

I hope to head north to catch up with you and some other folks @Responsible Choice

Any Bible scholars around?
Strontium Dawg replied to Strontium Dawg's topic in Creativity, Spirituality & Philosophy
Stories are a map of those who went before. Experience is the planting of lamp posts along a path. People mistake the map for the purpose. A map is the lay of the land, not a vector. Where do we want to go? That is the question most commonly asked. But maybe we should just be asking how to get there, seeing as the ending is inevitable, right? Sorry if this is cryptic, just laying down thoughts as they occur in a seemingly important moment. -
Mushy Christmas you lot. Love youse all. From the Glauk.
