Kava kava

Recommended Posts

Seeking some plants or seeds for my Tongan friend for a present. 

 

Got some stuff to trade, cactus, prints, random seeds. 

 

Let me know if you can help.

Prolly too cold in Sydney to grow kava without serious supplementary warmth.. And as far as I am aware it doesn't set seed...

I'd say it will over winter fine in my greenhouse as i have other plants that are more frost sensitive and doing fine. 

It be more of a problem in the 45c days were getting at the moment. 

Those ones are even burning my cacti lol. 

 

Was not aware seeds were sterile though as I haven't payed much attention to this particular plant, my interest has only just been sparked after my mate came back from holiday and was talking to me about it. 

Thought it would make him super happy to have one growing for us. 

 

Still searching if anyone can help.

They don't set seed, not that they're sterile. It is a very finicky plant, but if you're keen to try it, I can help you out in a bit. I've got some aerial layering at the moment... Hit me up with a PM...
