i thought a thread on this could be usefull. i hope to expand this thread with more details, in given time. first all three different viridis in one shot, all the plants are of similar age, but the moon aka la luna was a bit bigger when i recieved those beauties from tort.

hi! there are many psychotria nexus plants out in the community, but everybody say's they never produce any seed, so I was surprised to find some in mature seeds, on my nexus plant, a couple of day's ago. this motivated me and I inspected all my viridis very closely, and in doing so, as well spotted some seeds are forming on my moon! but nothing on my shipibo! so this thread is devoted, to pictures and text, regarding which viridis are producing seeds for you. even more important, I believe, SEED PRODUCTION, IS A VERY GOOD additional, IDENTIFICATION TOOL!!!! the common strain, flowers and sets seeds easely and early in the season. the moon, flowers and sets seeds a bit later the nexus, flowers as well late, and seed production is poor. the shipibo, has not flowered yet, in my care. here are the pic's, so who else got nexus seeds, in the making, am I, the first?

Anyone care to share some advice regarding optimal growing conditions for the Psychotria Viridis "Shipibo" cutting I recently obtained? It is doing fine after potting up, I'm just wondering what others have found to be most successful from experience? My Caapi is going absolutely nuts! I keep them in a little greenhouse or under a pergola in partial sunlight during the day and take them both indoors at night to avoid any potential frost... Anyway, if any of that sounds wrong or if there is some better practices I'd love to hear from you! Thanks Stevie-leigh
