Alice Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) Welcome Cacti - all trichocereus/echinopsis are easy and grow fast. Interesting herbs or small plants - toothache plant, sorrel, laksa leaf, melissa/lemon balm. I guess your climate would be similar to mine, so grab the usual staples of the scene - khat, caapi, psychotria, heimia, ephedra, acacias. All should grow well for you, locals can provide more specific advice. All of those are really easy, if you can grow them in the ground they will take care of themselves. It's when people grow them in pots, move them around all the times, in and out of mini greenhouses, mist them three times a day etc, that you start to have problems. Plant them in the ground, if they die then grow something else. Edited January 2, 2015 by Alice 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
