∂an Posted September 12, 2012 nice collection! do you grow under lights in winter then outdoors in summer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mindperformer Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) no I grow some tropical plants always under artificial light (Balché, Acacia acuminata, Mimosa hostilis, Desmodium gyrans, Catha edulis and some additional in a small greenhouse (Iboga, Tatagia, Kratom). The big rest of the subtropical and the less tricky tropical plants grow in front of the windows indoors and in summer outdoors on the balcony.

∂an Posted September 13, 2012 ok thanks I need some tips for growing in the northern hemisphere. unfortunately I don't think my windows get enough hours of sunlight to make that work. of these plants, what would say requires the least light? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mindperformer Posted September 13, 2012 yes, most of them need sufficient light, so a window on the northern side in germany is for the most tropical plants to dark. But: some don't need much light: Cola acuminata, C. vera, Psychotria viridis, P. alba, Piper methysticum, Macropiper excelsum. Erythroxylum doesn't like direct strong sunlight, but it shouldn't be too dark either. Brunfelsia grandiflora can live in a shady position as Banisteriopsis caapi. Even more important for some tropical plants is the air-humidity. Kratom, Iboga, Kava and Chacruna for example thrive much better in a humid environment. The substrate is a big issue, but as you are from germany you can look in the ethnobotanik.lu -forum. I wrote there much about soil-mixes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have some young ones, and Im curious about the light thing...they seem to prefer a semi-shady spot, but Im no expert. Can you please clarify the distinction, I dont wanna kill them Cheers mate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coja Posted January 19, 2013 Does Friendly still post around here? I recall his reports years and years back about the utility of Anadenanthera pods ... don't just toss those out once you've removed the seeds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
