  1. hi, gogo!

    i don't want to rain on your parade, but the pic doesn't look to me like a caapi cutting at all, i guess it's a young seedling of euphorbia heterophylla.

    the leaves look so shredded (poinsettia like, trapezoid) caapi leaves don't look like that.

    anyway, if it grows like a vine it might be caapi, but if it oozes milk juice than it's that wild poinsettia...

    do you have this one growing in your area?

  2. she or he has never flowered yet, and i think the plant is roughly 7 or 8 years old.

    they survive droughts realy well, and jump to life once the rain arrives.

    i have seen major in the rbg syd and rbg kew and other botanical gardens of the world.

    i think the are the most wonderfull plant to look at, unique in appereance and they are living fossils, from a time before even all flowering plants appeared. a studdy of them might reveal many secrets of evolution, to bann them just because of there chemical make up is ludercris. nobody in the world is using this plant for illicit street drug manufacture, this was a stupid rumour started in the usa, and now it got this plant onto the bad plants list, sooooo sad.


  3. good idea!

    i don't think, if people tell you, that you will fail probagating catha, that they say this, so they can sell there plants instead, hehehe.

    i definitely encourage everybody to take ther own cuttings!

    sab is a treasure trove when it comes to catha edulis probagation!! :)

    here are just 3 topics, so you can see that catha probagators here help other probagators!!!!

    i'm not realy happy how you paint such a negative view about catha probagation, when it's clearly not the case! :BANGHEAD2:

  4. do you know the name?

    as the leaves look more elongated, than most of the other hierba de pastora.

    but probably it's the h/w and the elongated leaf shape has been brought on by climatic and cultivational aspects.

    i grew once one in england and it looked the same,

    but the one's in oz were more heart shaped??
