Silene capensis finally available!

[Torsten]

We've been growing it for two years now and it is finally ready: the 'White Path' african dreaming herb Silene capensis. 2g vials of australian grown root powder, as well as seeds and plants are available in the shop.

We will try o offer some african root powder as well, but quarantine is causing us some problems with that.

Please do a bit of research into ubulawu, the healing system used by the xhosa which revolves around the dream state. There are more ubulawu herbs to come soon.

Thanks!

Will definitely be on my next order :D

How long did it take you from seed to harvestable root?

EDIT: Oh yeah, and how viable is seed?

seed is very viable when fresh. like 90% of more.

roots are very fine and spindly for the firsts season, so it is worthwhile not to harvest for 12-18 months.

Once cleaned and dried each 12 months old plant provides about 3-4g of root! It's a total bitch of a job growing these.....

Hmmm...can you grow them close together? I wouldn't mind a 12 month wait if there was a decent return...the root sounds like a good candidate for the water pipe

A 12" pot will not sufficiently support the growth of a single plant unless you can water it twice a day. So no, you can't grow them close together.

Whatever gave you THAT idea? It is highly unlikely to work at all.

also, these herbs can be pretty severe in side effects and I suggest everyone stick to the traditional methods to reduce possible complications.
