Cheers Yeti, have a lead on the Ashwagandha at the moment. Always after different strains though, I noticed herbalistics has an African and an Indian variety. Any idea what yours might be? It's not that it isn't over here, myself and a couple others grew it for a few seasons but it seems we have all misplaced/given away/swapped our seed.. Can only find one place online here which has it for $1/seed

Will be harvesting seeds of Tutu, Coriaria arborea and possibly C. ruscifolia soon from a friend's property. These plants are toxic so please be aware if you are interested in growing them.. As Murdoch Riley explains in Māori Healing and Herbal, “all parts of all species of tutu from their leaves to their roots have some toxic content, except for the juice of the ripe berry, or more precisely the juice of the enfolding petals of the berry.” There is some info on Sacred Succulents regarding ruscifolia. Interested in trading? let me know on here so I can get an idea of how much to harvest

Hey all I'm on the hunt for any seeds involving nitrogens mutant crosses, TPM x and TPQC x Passed along the seeds I received way back when as I wasn't in a position to be sowing any seeds. And just on the offchance, if there are any other crosses involving mutant genetics I would be interested in them too.

Whilst procrastinating finishing the cactus rock garden I set to work grafting excess pups to excess stock. Sulcorebutias, tbms, a variegate pach x scop and some mexican miniatures all got the chop. Will post pictures in a few weeks of what took and what did not. Also potted up a variety of clones and some stray tbms.

What did you do in your sacred garden today?
solomon replied to theuserformallyknownasd00d's topic in Ethnobotany
Watered & weeded. Sketched plans for a new cactus garden bed. Organized cactus collection into three groups: stock plants, greenhouse plants and those destined for a new garden bed. Quarrantined a couple mealy bug trichos. Propagated some trichos by cutting. Cleared out cactus garden bed of weeds. Potted up seedlings that had gone MIA, found one with varigation. Spotted a young B. sanguinea flowering And with a pod ripening A lot of B. sanguinea around the place but never seen them produce pods ever. The plant with the pod ripening on it was sourced from far away so must be a from a different clone/seed. -

hey zen peddler i have been up in the tropics of far north Queensland for the last couple months. As this has been the only place i have travelled in Oz i can't compare it to anywhere else. but I have been wearing a tee shirt and shorts the whole time, there is an amazing amount of wildlife, friendly freaks, invasive turbina & argyreia to harvest seeds from. oh and i noticed you mentioned an autoimmune disease maybe being a reason to move.. I have psoriasis of the skin & psoriatic arthritis.. to the point that in Aotearoa winters I can barely move in the morning and am a sore grump till the evenings. since being here mornings have been much easier, no cold to make my joints ache to the point where amputation seems better. plus the sun is good for the skin, and the warmth makes the sea so much more inviting. just watch out for crocs work hasn't really been abundant, unless you are into seasonal stuff like bananas? peace

Heya plant heads been lurking but not posting much of late, work and moving has put a bit of a hold on my gardening. saving up the last month and a bit to head over to Queensland to see Australia for the first time heading to the Daintree and going to Bushweek if funds allow. going to be looking for work and hopefully staying in the area for a few months at least before trying to get to Indonesia next year for the eclipse. can't wait to see everything for myself as it unfolds but if there is anything anyone really recommends checking out let me know eh plants animals rocks history people sights anything...... much love SAB! see you in June Australia

Hi! Looking for Calea Zacatechichi and Silene Capensis.
solomon replied to _Cursive's topic in Seed & Plant Swaps
Hey bogget if you are ever out that way there should be an army of S. capensis at my old whare, you are welcome to harvest roots and distribute seed if you fancy. Think they should be around 3 years as well so should be ready for harvest? @_Cursive if nailthesnail or bog can't help you out I will grab some over the next few months if the pods are still viable. flick me a PM sometime and maybe we can help each other find some of the things on our wish lists.. -
Hey all, been doing a bit of bush foraging and have a bit of Tawaka spores to disperse.. Haven't grown this myself in controlled conditions or propagated in the bush yet but it is a good producer and tastes nice. Unsure of the medicinal properties but have read a bit about it being used to treat poisoning from Tutu (Coriaria sp) Open to trades of all sorts, if you are a person who can make use of the prints and have nothing to trade paying a dollar or two for postage would work fine. After any interesting seeds stones minerals art spore prints (for microscopy) yada yada yada Will have seeds of the following available Pukatea (Laurelia novae-zelandiae) Endemic analgesic worth investigating. Seed are still a month or two away. Kawakawa (Macropiper excelsum) Containing elemicin and myristicin.. Oh I am in NZ but will post worldwide if you are aware of the risks/laws involved with your customs and imports.

Salvia divinorum Leaves Browning and Falling Off
solomon replied to doxneed2c-me's topic in Ethnobotany
yeah like obtuse said... sally doesn't like boggy soil I have found. but decent watering regularly rather than flooding it is the way to go. She can be a temperamental girl at first but once she acclimatizes and gets happy the growth is quite quick and produces big velvety leaves. if you are in the Northern Hemisphere it might be the drop in temperature? Leaves/flower heads would go brown and wet with the cold snaps in Winter. maybe have a look and if it is spreading down the stem some surgery might be in order. No change of environment to speak of? good luck I will try respond to any questions you leave in the thread.. -
i just put an a. nervosa seedling into a 50/50 mix of perlite and vermiculite and into my bubbler. does anyone have any experience growing this hydro ? i couldnt find any info on google or here
