seanimus Posted August 22, 2011 Hey all I've noticed in the last few days since its been a bit warmer that my P.nexus is drooping over during the day at the tip and the leeves have been curling up a little over the winter, I've given it some seasol and a bit of powerfeed but cant think of much else do you guys think it is all goodor does it need special treatment. Thanks in advance, Seanimus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhoenixSon Posted August 22, 2011 a mist couldn't hurt seaso/ferts and lots of water is what id do to psychotria when its starting to warm up. how much water do you give it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanimus Posted August 22, 2011 Hey I did see an ant or two the other day hope the little buggers dont hurt her, I've been upping the water and seasol a bit, prob about a litre every couple of days and i will start misting tomorrow thanks for that.

tarenna Posted August 22, 2011 That doesn't look much like the nexus that I know.... Does it have milky sap? Is it a member of the Family Apocynaceae? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanimus Posted August 22, 2011 hey no milky sap that I seen, I got it from herbalisitics so I'm confident it's Pyschotria nexus and I think its the rubiaceae family? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marcel Posted August 22, 2011 Dude, I've got a couple of Herbalistics Nexus plants, and a few other Psychotria plants, and I'm afraid yours isn't anything like them. That's definitely a Banisteriopsis caapi, aka Ayahuasca vine, and judging by those wavy margins, I'd say it's a 'Nuevo Ola' variety (which Herbalistics sells). Did you order a B. caapi at the same time as the Nexus? Perhaps Darren got the labels switched. Maybe you have another plant labeled 'B caapi' plant, which is actually a Nexus?

seanimus Posted August 22, 2011 I think I'll put my head back in my khyber pass.Yes that is what happened and here is a pic of the Nexus, what I stupidly thought was my caapi but must be my nexus which to needs help! Bloody gardening noobs (me) think they no everything, my apologies tarenna! I was expecting more growth from the nexus than the caapi over the winter for some reason, when I first got them the labels had come out and I had it right at first and then doubted myself and didnt want to look like a dumbass by asking (oops to late ) I think its time for more reading and learing thanks for the help guys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Justler Posted August 23, 2011 Haha, I was about to say, that nexus looks kinda caapi like. My caapi appears to have the same concerns, though it's smaller. Old growth appears fine (as with yours) and newer growth appears to slump over and be dying off. Your real nexus looks quite healthy to me, though I too still consider myself a n00b. The browning at the end of the older leaf tips is something my little nexy and psychotria also suffer from. Would love to know what causes it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
