Transplant Psychotria?

Recommended Posts

I have a 5 year old or so psychotria in my backyard in Perth and am about to move. Does anyone want to come and get it?

Not sure if it is any good to transplant..

It has been in a tropical-ish garden under shade..

Depending on the size, transplant shouldnt be too hard.

Ah bugger, would have raced there right now for it! Amazing offer focus. :D Wouldn't mind cloning a leaf if possible? New genetic stock always welcome in my garden. What species is it?

eatfoo was quick on the Pm so I'm going to leave it up to him...

i bought it from Torsten years ago... pretty sure it was a P. Viridis.

I should post a photo to make sure it is actually a psychotria as it was planted ages ago and I have

never done anything with it. Hopefully the mrs or the dog haven't pulled it out!

So maybe don't get too excited just yet. :)

I imagine transplant with abit of pruning would do fine, given they grow from leaf cuttings as long as you get some roots with it should survive easy as !

edit: anyone looking to do leaf propagation i have heaps of alba, carth and viridis branches that could use a prune
