Have faith, keep at it. Ive been trying for a year to get good results. I put a tray full down a month ago for three germinations. I also nursed 2 lophs through a winter germination to have my dog eat them, sux.

hello greeny, I found that bottom heat is the key but i dont no if you need it this time of year. I put some lophs, trichs and pachycereus down a few weeks ago, on bottom heat using plain searles propagation sand. I usually get about 10% to germinate. But I think when I brought my seeds I got some older less viable seeds in some varietys cause they never germinate and throw my germination rates out. I definatley think fungicide is a must, I use half strength once a week.

Ive got a pachanoi grown from a small cutting and it has a similar problem as the one in the pic. The bottom is the same 30mm diameter as when it was planted and the top is almost triple the size. Should I hack it off as well?

I can help with some withania sominifera cuts, these are so easy to get to strike ( Im talking pelargonium easy). Ive also got an acorus gramineus if you want. Ive never had any trouble with the last vendor on c12h16n2's list, just a little on the expensive side for harder to get botanicals.

I tried it. The 4 largest leaves on the plant , I masticated them for around two minutes. I dont spilanthes acmella is the one. Is there any other ideas?

Are you guys still taking noobies on board.

Thanxs for the help. It probably was a Spilanthes acmella but from the info I just read it could also be Spilanthes alba or Spilanthes ocymifolia cause they are native to S America too. Any way Ill just wait for the inevitable repeat. The other weekend I got an ususpecting friend to rub two buds from my tootheache plant on his teeth, it was classic, but I was to busy laughing my arese off to notice if he was drooling. So I guess ill try some and see.

I was watching wild boys on mtv, and the hosts were being guided through the Amazon by a tribal shaman. They were sampling various plants that did crazy things. One of the plants eaten caused them to salivate heaps, Im talking drooling everywhere. Does anybody have an idea what this plant could be and if I can obtain one.

pepermint and chocolate mint are two separate, well extremely closely related plant variants. I agree they are filth in milk, peppermint can be a bit strong tho.

I collect anything that can be used by humans to.Ive got a couple of different st johns worts. a small leaf runner one and a larger leaved bushy variety. The ealier takes from cuttings easy as the later is a bit moody but still takes. Its nasty stuff tho, sure you feel good for a few hours but after that its headache time. What mints do you want ?I got Apple basil spear common citrus peppermint chocolate mint native probably got a couple i cant even remember. If you want any others i got heaps of varietys of tyme, oregano, rosemarys, a few of the more common sages. galangal, yellow ginger, cardamon, waragal spinach heaps more too.

Ill have heaps in spring. Grandma has been growing them for years, she likes the flowers. They just apear in the garden this time every year. They are the initial reason for my interest in ethnoplants. However they are the double flower ones. Are these still active?

Do they cope alright if they are taken inside over night.

Just lookin for a specimen, a book ive been reading rates it as one of the herbs that changed the world. Dont got much to trade tho.

In a first year vet lecture we were told maccas burgers were post 3rd lactation dairy cows, we also export the same meat to america for burgers, Hence 'export quality beef'. For interests sake european maccas burgers are produced from holstien fresian cows ( run of the mill dairy breed) in Turkey. In turkey an animal does not die of foot and mouth or perhaps BSE unless it is reported at the feedlot, once its at the abitior its butchered even if it was transported dead from the feed lot. But that was 2 years ago, Turkey might have improved there standards by now . Veal on the other hand is majority male dairy calves, boys dont lactate you see. I apologise for this not being about plants.

That guy at rocklea has always got a cupple interesting cacti. But hes a bit shifty. I asked for a loph from him, he said he only had one and they were hard for him to get, charged me 15 dollars I walked away did another lap came back there was another sitting there with a 10 dollar tag on it. I went home and washed the sucker stamp off my forehead so I wouldnt get caught again. He also told me it was the texisomething strain, but I cant find any good pics to cross reference. I just got my first 4 seedlings up 3rd time lucky. [ 07. May 2005, 05:08: Message edited by: bok ]
