  1. ... One of the growers I quickly talked to in Bali said they weren't too keen on greater levels of exposure because the more well known the plant became in Indonesia the greater the risk of them having it banned... Crazy world we live in

     

    too crazy ...

    i just got back from Bali ... thinking of kratom projects there, though i didn't come across any ... any possibility of locations/contacts? pm me if necessary ...

    peace

  2. these are the known (vegetatively propagated) clones:

    Wasson/Hofmann

    Cerro Quemado

    Palatable

    Bret Blosser #2

    Catalina

    Delicious

    Julieta

    does anyone have any of these, other than Hoffman/Wasson sourced from SAB?

    known sources for these would be useful as well. Daniel Siebert is not currently offering cuttings due to poor conditions at his location.


  3. My problem is the large one I have... It's got 2 shoots about 5 m long, climbing into a Mango tree...It's very healthy, and the roots have grown through the pot into the soil, will have to dig it up...

    had the same problem recently gomaos. right down to the two 5m limbs (?), except it was a palm not a mango.

    i gently untwined what i could, cutting back as little as possible. managed to save a fair bit of growth, but when i got to the new house the growth didn't really find anywhere it liked, so i cut it right back and at the moment it's doing very well.

    they're quite hardy plants it seems smile.gif


  4. i've found one source for live plants, var. Saphirina (no seed):

    H and H Botanicals

    but they don't ship internationally

    rev, email me if you want to try and get a state-side contact to relay a plant or two ... they're quite cheap

  5. yep wink.gif

    this from a seed supplier:

    The E. coca crop is in fruiting stage at this time of the year and will be harvested for its pods/seeds by end of this month. We can supply its pods if ordered, as its seeds are never extracted for raising its seedlings, because its seeds are grape like

    with fluid endosperm. If extracted they will go dry and loose their viability within 2-3 days of their extraction.


  6. theolder plants won't like the humidity of the tank ... maybe place them on top or next to the tank to benefit from the heat and light?

    yep, i've germinated cacti in coarse sharp sand alone ... not gravel, a bit finer than that, but no sand particles to clog the medium. check out the section on CSS in Cultivation on this site.

    good growing!
