It is hard to say what is best. I have grafted 7 Day old seedlings and they have been fine ! One advantage of grafting a 4week old is that it is much easier to handle and therefore graft sucessfully. Peres seem to take fairly easily especially with trichs but there is definetly heaps to learn. Good luck !

Paradox, You cann't cross TBM with anything !!! sooooo sad It just never flowers.

JD, It is hard to tell as it's early days. I don't think it's spider mite they will leave big holes in the leaves !! Yeah like you said you can see the webs and usually the little orange spidermites My guess is the start of a scale attack. or early blight. Look closely at the stems for little white/black things. And treat as per scale is my suggestion.

Very well but I would not be eating that thing I have found a few of these before, I like the sponge bottom.

nice collecion ! Thanks for posting

Bummer that you lost your gear ! sorry to hear. Yeah I used to go heaps a while back. I still have my spear and that somewhere....God knows where. I found it fun and caught heaps more fish than I would have fishing

As far as I know it is just a "mutation" of the plant make up, environment will have no effect on it. It is basically just a luck of the draw where something goes wrong with the cells when they are produced. Hence they are rare and therefore sought after.

Mate that is the cause of variegated plants The yellowish looking parts are lacking Chlorophyll (it is not evenly distributed) and its commonly called a variegated plant.

Amulte, Yeah I rekn he took numerous "support" substances along the way

I very much doubt you could find PCP in Aust and I think your right, its not a drug of real recreational value. Ever seen "PCP Saved my life" ? It's got steve-0 from jackass and he smokes pcp for several days straight and they record the entire thing. Very very weird. But quite funny, not something I would want to give a go. From the video it seems more like a deliriant than a dissociative. I would stay clear as it is documented to cause brain damage ! But so do many others

Sorry but you have missed it. I didn't personally go but I have seen a few plants from the sale.

Doesn't really sound like spider mites to me. Spider mites are bigger than you describe and there are usually only a few of them around. Not sure what it is post a pic for me, posibly scale or at a long shot aphid. I can remember a while ago I had extremely small black dots on one of my psychotrias....if you can pst a pic I can see if it was the same thing.

Thanks for all the comments and yeah I love it allready Can't wait to watch her grow ! Benzito, that is a serious TBM LOL. Thanks for sharing mate.

Sweet Benzito ! Would love to see a few pics..... of the plnt that is.

Yeah I know the pics are big. I didn't have time to fix them thisarvo. They arn't on SAB servers but I know it can be slow for some people and kinda hard to view. Will do my best in the future. Thanks for the id mate.

Back to the topic, I am thinking along the lines to Torsten. My caapi is growing extremly vigorously, around 5-8cm a day. It is grown in a low humidity, high temp environment in eastern N.S.W. Keep it away from direct sunlight but in a bright area and spend some time with the plant. I find the more time and effort I put in the more I get out, both in the growth of the plant and spiritually. Once established caapi like wet feet, plenty of water especially when hot. A nice big plastic pot in fairly rich well draining soil. Where are you and what is the climate like ? Good Luck.

Yeah it's better to keep then out of the sun, usually kills germination a little. I would also keep foliage out of the sun too as the sun tends to zap the majority of alkaloids as they are heat sensitive. I usually use the amp for my stereo or in a sealed container with one of those little decesant satchels from a vitamin bottle An easy way would also be to use a small electric fan !

Mate ideal conds for rooting are warmth, sun and predominantly dry! If I were you I would allow my cuttings some direct sun. Not a great deal but a little each day. Just keep an eye on the ribs of your cutting, if they are nice and round or "turgid" then let them see some sun. Once they are looking a little less full then I would avoid the sun! I find nice warm and a little sunnd works best. Also, your potting medium is not so good. 100% perlite has never worked for me. Try 50% perlite 50% rich organic compost. Chers.

Yeah escpecially important for Viridis. Mine go completely dormant at lower humidity regardless of temperature...Once I put it in the green house raising the humidity from less than 20% to near 70% and the thing will go nuts at a constant temp of about 30deg. Good point Auxin.

Yeah it is mate, check file name in the link. Just throwing a few ideas around. I'm far from being an expert in accacia id but I have a go

Nice Barrels Not sure how old they are but who cares that are mighty specimens. Great buy.

Regarding number 2. It looks like a A.Longifolia not sure subspecies, tho i'm not 100%. Have a look at these. A.Longifolia. A.Longifolia.

It is really difficult. I have never had a leaf cutting form a plant. I have tried a few times but there is really no point seeing as 2 plants can be turned into 20 in just a few months.

Sphinx, I don't think that is A.Obtusifolia. It is kinda hard to tell from the pictures. Where did you find it ? possibly a A.Longiolia Spp Longifolia. Not sure tho. Edit; whoops sorry gerbil didn't see ya post mate

Mate, AFOAF has cut the black rot out and had no problems ! I would cut a little extra off just to make sure as you do not want any of the black rot it will make you extremely ill.
