  1. Hi all, I have some mixed Loph seed that I got from Etheobotanica last year which I am not going to get around to sowing.

     

    I have approx. 100 seeds so will give away  3 packs of 33.3 seeds :) 

     

    So post down below why you want them and I will pick the best 3 next Sunday 5th July

  2. They seem to be going pretty well now that they are all back together and their enclosure was rearranged a bit.  

    I give them wood roaches as treats as I breed these to feed my lizards and frogs and have plenty to go around.  They get pretty excited to see me come with a cup of woodies :) 

    I like the food scraps idea as that would breed vinegar flies etc for them to munch on.  Will give it a go.    


  3. Hey Humbolt, have 5 girls now which were all from the same place.  The enclosure is 1m x 2.5m by around 0.5 m high.  Any injured ones previously were separated until they healed up.  Today is the first time they have been put back together and the layout has been alerted with a few more hides etc.  I think the out of site thing is one of the most important aspects from what I can see.  Will see how they go this time round.

  4. Have used the hemp flour and hemp protein in bread and pancakes which tastes good but makes the bread a lot more crumbly.  Not sure about the unhulled seeds but looking to try some out


  5. It's times like these I wonder on earth I still live in this backwards state....

    Am in Such envy of you folk right now, what a mighty specimen that is and the person who gets the chance to pick up one of these , should make a short road trip down my way so i can get a cutting!

    You will have yourself a best friend for life!

    Good luck to the person who does, they certainly are beautiful plants!

     

    There have been a few different varieties of khat in WA. I managed to get vw and narrow leafed before moving which did well, so there is no reason why they are still not available. There are many different ethnos in WA, just a matter of finding them.


  6. Most of my collecting was done when preparing cuttings. Would end up with many dishes of drying leaves. The plant got quite tall and heavy so it required stakeing to support it. My advice would be to selectively pick mature leaves only if possible ( some leaves I picked would have been close to 6 - 12 months old )

    Also start new plants frequently because they do tend to deteriorate once they have got to a couple of years. My gnomes sally is a shadow of it's former self, I just hope that people who got cuttings off her are freely passing them around as my gnome is no longer in a position to do so.

    May she see freedom from persecution again

    Later.


  7. A gnome that I once knew ate ten seeds on 2 separate occassions ( same seed ). The first time was fairly mild with mainly extreme happiness while the second outing produced fairly intense effects and a toxic feeling the next day. The gnomes friend felt extremally sick and thought they were dying. Seeds on both occasions were prepared the same way I am told.

    Later.
