New additions to the list: apple, medlar, quince and pear and more on the breadfruit and sweet chestnut

wow thed00dabides, so many Mimosoidae, I also like these plants; the Chacruná will love the humidity Yesterday I put some Amblyseius- predator mites against the thrips on my Chacruná into the tropic box and they thrive well in this environment to do their "job" ;-)

I had thrips on the chacruná, so I put some Amblyseius- predator mites in the box and they killed all of them. My boxes: ...with the iridescent Microsorum thailandicum: ...and the Toromiro and the Mitragyna: The two Ibogas and the two Tatagias (A. simplex): an Iboga- cutting: and the Tatagias:

@planthelper, I also prefer the plastic bottle- method for cuttings because, when rooted, the humidity can be slowly reduced by stepwise opening the cap When to decide if a plant needs a heated tropic box, only a warm wet box, living room climate, a cool room or cold climate (now outside), I always have a look on the point of origin of the species: Climate, world: Humidity, world: Solar Radiation, world:

I had mildew (first ever) on my flowering Solanum uporo plants, but they just don't care about it and grow well, despite that I made a tincture against this bad fungus with the natural mildew- killers Berberine, Matrine, Osthole and Limonene. I put grinded scraped bark and the root from Berberis vulgaris (contains Berberine), some sliced Sophora subprostrata (syn. tonkinensis)- root (contains Matrine), grinded Cnidium monnieri seeds (contains Osthole) and a few drops of Orange oil (contains Limonene) for a few days in alcohol and filtrated, then sprayed over the plants, worked well

really nice plants... and the cycle starts again

I agree with planthelper, in the vegetative season it is possible to make cuttings from young green shoots

wow LokStok, do you have photos from your Desmodium gyrans? mine stays very small (now in winter)

more money with entheogens: This 2 NZ$ coin I brought from Rarotonga, the minting shows a Kava-bowl:

I repotted my Brunfelsia, Gynura procumbens and Acacia berlandieri and misted a glasshouse nothing more because here in Austria it is Winter (least work outside) and 11:15 AM (12 hours time difference) ;-)

its not easy to root Camellia because of the woody stems perhaps the complex catechins break down to something psychoactive when smoked

fascinating, maybe the cannabinoid action can take place by smoking: http://epub.uni-regensburg.de/17253/ were the leaves just dried (so white tea) or some kind of fermented tea?

More wild plants with ancient use (in the list of the first post): Meadow Salsify (Tragopogon pratensis): Jacquin Salsify (Scorzonera cana): Viper's Grass (Scorzonera humilis): Austria-Salsify (Scorzonera austriaca)... contains sesquiterpene lactones, flavonoid glycosides and kavalactones like Desmethoxyyangonin, which is also an euphoric Kava- compound:

hey pan, nice to see your greenhouses here ;-) your constructions are genial, like we say in german I use heating mat with extern thermostat for this purpose, but I think there is no difference between heating mats and heating cables if you have a steady distribution of the heat... For lightning I use 80W -energy saving grow lamps and for a bigger area 200W Sometimes after airing I blow through a drinking straw in the box, so that more CO2 gets inside.

to my experience the humidity is most important for iboga, and the temperature should never drop under 20°C. It was a long way to find the right climate conditions for it to grow it in the cold Austrian winter. Now it grows well in a small greenhouse at 80-90% humidity and 26-27°C. I also think they are A. peregrina var. peregrina- seeds, the ring which Torsten mentioned can also be seen, the flower will show ;-) Colombia is my next travel destination of next year! In Colombia there are many psychoactive organisms, it has the second place in biodiversity, and there are many climates (Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, the highest coastal mountains are near your area, home of the Kogi and the three most famous euphoric plant-species of the world are cultivated in the mountains... I only say colombia gold), as you sure know already... Did you search for Metteniusa edulis? It has ritual significance for the Kogi (hallucinogenic?) http://psychotropia.co/?p=1679 Salvia venulosa is the closest relative to Salvia divinorum and also occurs in Colombia I also give credit to the finding of Chr. Rätsch who saw the fly agaric in the Colombian andes, possibly brought there by pine plantings Banisteriopsis muricata does also occur in Colombia.

So you take obtuses from the wild with their bottom soil or only the soil? It's no problem because they are not endangered, but for me it seems unnecessary... however My second question: From where do the 200 phlebo-seeds stem from? I don't think they are from cultivated plants, but also from the wild. ...I think its no problem to take A FEW seeds from the wild for cultivating a rare species to preserve it. If someone takes 200 seeds, it does not really help the species to survive, except if the seeds were taken for reforestations. You want to grow them in ideal conditions near Mt. Buffalo? ...on a separate area and only for harvest? After all, your 200 seeds are getting old and may lose their germination ability... however There are much more reasonable projects, like the TC- cultivation for returning it into the wild and let them grow. By the way: If there are more wild plants, its also possible to collect more fallen off leaves, which must be sufficient for small scale use. But of course there are always humans who want to get more and more... ...some do have the idealism and take responsibility for nature, others only want to make more and more out of it and put this under the pretext of idealism with allegations like "I gave it to other people"... To be a bit non-serious: The areas of phlebs in the wild should be surrounded with Ongaongas (Urtica ferox) to save them from egocentric greedy people...

wow, thanks for these impressions! gorgeous

I've made many additions again... Interesting articles: http://www.slate.com...ric_times_.html http://books.google....rassica&f=false

interesting species, This tropical tree is distributed throughout the east coast of Oz, New Caledonia and Vanuatu but why do you think the Aborigines cultivated the species, does it occur near archeological aboriginal sites? The Western Torres Strait Islanders may have practiced real agriculture (yams): http://austhrutime.com/agriculture.htm Other Aborigines practiced firestick agriculture. http://www.fsd.monas...pamphlet_po.pdf be careful not to extract the toxins from Castanospermum

understand... I wish you full recovery

The lemon tea tree (Leptospermum citratum syn. L. petersonii) has an absolutely wonderful sweet lemongras taste, as tea, as spice and chewed. For me it has almost euphoric action. It is related to Manuka (Leptospermum scoparium, sedative, antiphlogistic and anxiolytic) and grows in New Zealand and Australia. Does anyone know about traditional medicinal usage? My plant:

many succulents and cacti like Sceletium, Lophophora, Aztekium and Ariocarpus don't like a humid environment, but carnivorous plants would be perfect, try Genlisea
