TheMooseZeus Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 (edited) Hi! My sun opener is doing well but there seems to be a very similar imposter in with the plants that looks slightly different than the rest. Is it a weed or the beautiful sun opener?

They're doing much better in larger pots by themselves and some of them now are starting to branch off. A few huge sun opener plants at the Royal botanic gardens really inspired me to keep they well looked after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more space that you give them, the more they will become multi stemmed monsters! Which botanic gardens did you see them at? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats great! the middle of the Sydney botanic gardens was where i found them. What experience do you have using the plant? Do you enjoy its effects?

0 Planthunter Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Ahh. Got to get myself over there to visit those gardens. There is so much stuff growing at these gardens of interest to me. Never tried it as was unsure about soaking the leaves for so long, seems a bit like old salad leaves lol. If there is a different way maybe, do you soak yours or do something different?

If i ever tried it i would seal plant material in a jar of water and leave that in the sun for a day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Planthunter Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Yes of course, a theoretical question naturally. I forgot the bit about the leaving them in the sun. Sounds better than 2 day old salad left in the back of the fridge. An interesting idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see the chemistry behind it, what converts to what to create the psycho active effects? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Planthunter Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 There must be some research about it somewhere. Shall have a dig around. They made it through a Northland winter, that's not particularly cold as such but they had to put up with a fair bit of standing water around their roots for several weeks. Tried uploading a photo and the it wouldn't work blah! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi! My sun opener is doing well but there seems to be a very similar imposter in with the plants that looks slightly different than the rest.
Is it a weed or the beautiful sun opener?
