    Tricho flowering

    Desperation, sometimes. I had a San Pedro chunk around four inches long, it opted to throw a flower rather than produce roots or pups. Why, though, is probably anybody's guess.

  11. You can always brew a tea from the leaf, for cathine and norephedrine (but no cathinone). I'm pretty sure I've read of a liquid khat extract being commercially available in some markets. Has anyone tried a masticating juicer with fresh khat leaf?
  12. The khat "quid" is often stored in the pouch of the cheek when not being chewed. It's usually tender shoots of stems, rather than mature leaves, that are bundled for commercial sale and consumption. But that's only what I've read, in books. IMO, you can safely swallow the "bits" (edulis = edible, and khat contains numerous vitamins and minerals).

    psychotropic water kefir

    I notice that water kefir grains are sourced from prickly pear pads -- are these just the grains I've seen forming naturally from cut Opuntia pads? Water kefir seems less fussy to ferment than kombucha. I'd give it a shot, if someone had grains to spare (do they tend to multiply, like kombucha SCOBY?)

  15. My plant tastes extremely bitter. I've got a lot of dried leaf collected if you want to try it. Or a clone of the plant to grow yourself, ready to go.
  16. Have you tried calea regularly, i.e. over successive nights? (I haven't, but have heard a rumour).
  17. It's bioregionally incorrect. Or maybe just bad economics. YMMV.

    big lophs, small prices

    I'm very happy with mine, especially the colours. Not too small either. Things like rib count are probably more reliable indicators of maturity than size alone. My buttons have grown smaller over the past year, in a stone-rich mixture: more compact, but hardier.

    Slug and snail control

    Not true, in my experience. And probably unsuitable for calciphobes.

    Slug and snail control

    ^ I thought the copper tape works without electrical current? The problem being it comes loose, gets tarnished, etc. and copper isn't cheap. (Neither are 9v batteries). Beer and Vegemite is said to be a low-toxic bait to trap/drown snails. Personally, I don't kill snails but relocate them to the nature strip - knowing full well they'll probably find their way back. We have hundreds of snails, many of them congregate around a potted cactus without even nibbling it. Once, deep inside an overgrown cluster of TBM, I found a whole community of snails, of all sizes. And not so much as a nibble on that plant. Beautiful creatures. I've learned to live with them, but not to put a punnet of seedlings anywhere within their reach.

    Friend Seeking Large Fat Tricho For Collection

    Yes, PM if you want to discuss options.
  25. Sounds promising. I hope the positive effects increase over time. Would sub-lingual also work while avoiding toxic effects? Which Acorus species (and plant parts) have you been concentrating your efforts on? One plant that you sent me looks like a variegated sweet flag, I think you mentioned that it had been traditionally used among Japanese to treat stuttering?
