Alice Posted October 21, 2012 Awesome Planthelper! I think people seem to forget that supermarket produce can be a good source of seed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wameron36 Posted October 21, 2012 Nice plants! Is the water chestnut simple enough to grow? I'd love to get some going also. There's a couple of edible native capparis spp., although I remember a description of the fruit said to taste like passionfruit with a kerosene after taste, or something like that. Sounds delicious!

planthelper Posted November 10, 2012 some of my cacti. this, is a pic of my 1st sucessfull avocado did it myselfe, grafts (1out of 4 took), i used a narrow 4mm strip, cut out of a clear plastic bag, as sealing (grafting) tape. the strip was maybe 5cm long and secured with a, narrow strip of sticky tape. i just used materials, you find easy in, any household.... more cacti. once on a local bushwalk, i spotted this plant, and took a sucker of it home, i think, it could be a native rasberry. can't wait to find out if i get tasty fruits, hehehe. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhoenixSon Posted November 11, 2012 hey planthelper what effects do you get from the heimia? Never got anything from my fermented water brews, a couple of years ago... ended up digging up my plant and tossing it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
planthelper Posted November 11, 2012 hey planthelper what effects do you get from the heimia? Never got anything from my fermented water brews, a couple of years ago... ended up digging up my plant and tossing it. the effects are somehow sedative, the slightest diazepam like. water brews, are not the way to go, if you drink it might not work, a lot. dry the brew, to a paste and use small ammounts (starters, size of a split pea) sublingualy. somehow, if you use it as a gum, it might work for you! ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
