Nailthesnail Posted December 20, 2013 Does anyone know if it survives in Nz Climate. Would really love to grow it but not sure if it would survive the winters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gtarman Posted December 20, 2013 From what I've seen from the people I know who grow it over there you need a greenhouse generally..although I'm not sure if maybe there are some warmer spots further north or something where they'd survive outside. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nemisty Posted December 20, 2013 I would highly doubt it would cope in the south island outdoors during winter. Up here from Auckland north is probably an okay climate for it. Would need to stay urban or coastal to avoid the frosts. Mine hid in the green house over winter and managed to put on a bit of growth. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nemisty Posted December 21, 2013 Speaking of caapi. I managed to propagate a cutting off mine the other day. Dipped an accidentally broken off stem in cheap rooting powder, put it in moist sphagnum moss, used a cut coke bottle as a humidity dome, left it for 3weeks and it developed a real nice set of roots. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
