 propagation of lophophora williamsii [Re: Enter]

1. Climate zone (zone 1, etc)i have noticed this species can be grown in many climate zones.i live in the desert zone 11.
2. Is the plant an Annual, Perennial, Biennial, etc. this is deffinately an evergreen? scratches head.
3. Best way to start from seeds. mix up a nice loamy sand with some good presoaked moist peat moss (peat has anti-fungal properties)plus fine light weight perlite,not pumice.place mixed soil in a plastic container like a zip,can't think of their name,they make zip baggies also.clear plastic storage containers.punch holes in the bottom for drainage.add medium to container,pack down medium lightly.i make a little indention in the soil every cm. so i know the seed gets in the indention.do not cover seed with soil,just press in a bit more.creates a little water collecting area after placing 1 seed in every indention, and covering container with container lid with 1 hole poked into lid at each end.place in a nice well lit warm spot.78 d. humidity inside little container probably 100% if done properly.flouro's work well for a nice climate with also using a ceramic heat lamp in cold climates.
they will be grafted or transplanted before crowding which would take years.take in mind that lophophora williamsii and other var.spp. grow a carrot like tap root unlike trichocereus pachanoi/peruvianus.i usually use a medium deep pot for lophs. such as 4" deep clay pots.tricho's get 5 gal. plastic pots or in the ground.
4. Frost - will it survive a heavy/light/long frost? frost hardy
5. How much shade/sun? partial sun unless acclimated
6. How often does it get watered?mine get watered in warm months once every 2-3 days depending on weather.
7. How long from the time you plant the seed til its ready for (partial or full?) harvest?seed to harvest-7-15+ years.grafted 3-7 years.
8. Dormancy-seeds probably using cold stratification would maybe have better germ. rates but i'm not greedy and just do them this way as i explain.
9. Ideal soil mix good loamy sand,peat,perlite,not pumice
10. Ideal fertilizer if any- earth juice when 2 months old
11. Container growing tips- i have covered this.
12. Common pests and diseases to watch out for. Also any other sensitivities the plant may have. don't over water after seedling stage.
13. Health warnings (IE: wear gloves when harvesting tobacco)can't think of any?
14. Ideal propagation methods i think i covered that?
15. If indoors, what type of lighting should be used? flouro's

sorry people.
here is what i did. i use a mixture of sand from surrounding cacti,plenty of perlite,and rich potting soil.i like to use those zippy clear storage containers with several holes poked in to the bottom for drainage.2 holes in each lid,one on each side to vent excess humidity.
place soil mix into containers,spray soil mix with a diluted fungicide.i make small indention's into the soil like i stated before in last post.just press seeds in a bit.DO NOT BURY. light dependent seeds.i spray again several times to insure container soil is moist through out but not wet.i place on lid and germinate under 24 hours of flouro's until spring is here.i usually get pretty good germ. rates at 75 f.container has around 100% humidity since lid is on.i let them sit undisturbed for about a week and check them.usually the containers after a week will have a few sprouts,and more to come for the next few weeks,sometimes months.usually weeks.i have noticed better germ rates without using a propagation heat mat.
i never germinate or start anything outdoor!

Thanks from me too. Someone else requested it, but I also need the info.
I've had some Calea seeds for several months now, waiting for time in my indoor garden, and a little more info.
I like what I've read about it. I'm looking forward to seeing what she does.
Peace

Sweet EthnoFarming guide.
Does anyone here have any usefull cultivation guides concerning Acacia's (specificly Acacia Simplex/Simplicifolia & Acacia Podalyriifolia)? SWIM's learned they contain 0.81% DMT in bark and 0.5% to 2% DMT in fresh bark respectively
Any other Cultivation guides/information about significantly DMT rich plants, preparably relatively easy to grow and harvest would also be nice.
SWIM lives in Northern Europe and wants to grow entheogenic plants like Salvia, Peyote, San Pedro, Acacias and other DMT-rich plants, Morning Glories, Calea Zacatechichi..etc
So cultivation guides concerning these, especially Acacias and other DMT rich plants, would come in handy for SWIM.

It would be really sweet if when everyone grew one plant at the same time, if the source for seeds or cuttings was different for everyone and then potency/efficacy was somehow rated. The the community could spread good product to all its members.

Ledbonzo86 ~ That's the type of logic we need to follow thru with. Well said.
As for the Acacia simplex, please read this article. Although brief, the lack of information is actually profound.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acacia_simplex
Also:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acacia_simplicifolia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acacia_podalyriifolia
http://www.b-and-t-world-seeds.com/carth.asp?species=Acacia%20simplex&sref=72972
I have to say that an initial search for this info is insufficient. Anyone want to join in??
UPDATE: From JLHUDSON:
Acacia simplicifolia (=simplex) (5,h) R-ACAC-117. Packet: $6.00 OUT OF STOCK
10 seed: $10.00, 50 seed: $35.00, 100 seed: $50.00 OUT OF STOCK
Extremely rare tree or shrub to 40 feet, with broad, oval, pointed 2 - 4" leaves, and small flower-balls followed by 6" pods. Endemic to New Caledonia and Vanuatu, often growing in seashore dunes. Does well in Florida—try it in S. California and Texas. Nick seed to germinate in 2 - 4 weeks. Alkaloid-rich, and scarce as hen's teeth! A way to maximize germination of these expensive seed: Nick seed with a file then soak for 15 minutes in a solution made of 1 part household bleach and 8 parts water. Rinse them well. Fold a paper towel into quarters and put on a plate that has been sterilized with bleach. Moisten the towel with distilled water and put the seeds (nicked side down) on the towel and cover with plastic wrap, leaving an air space above the seeds. Keep in a warm place (70 - 80°F) and inspect every day. Any seeds that don't swell in a day or two should be re-nicked and sterilized. Any seeds that develop mold should be removed and re-sterilized and put on a separate plate - most of these will sprout, too, but this keeps the others clean. When the roots are a half-inch long, plant the seed in a light, well-drained seed-starting mix, and keep warm. If you have had trouble with these in the past, try this method and you are sure to be successful! Gives high germination with this method.

So information regarding Acacia (specifically A.Podalyriifolia & A.Simplex/Simplicifolia) Cultivation from seed, it's Climate-needs[Air Humidity, Temperature, amount of Sunlight, winterfrost-survival], prefered Soil, Pruning..etc is really that rare?
Doesn't anyone of you have one of those handy ethnobotanical/phytochemical books that say anything about Acacia Cultivation and/or Harvest/Alkaloid profile & Alkaloid content that they could quote here and share with me?
And otherwise; Anyone any idea where I might find an Acacia plantation, single specimens or it's foliage/bark-material for sale?
Considering SWIM lives in the North West-European, not so tropical or sunny Netherlands.

SKA,
Here's a couple of things to check out for Acacia:
http://www.erowid.org/plants/acacia/acacia.shtml
http://www.anbg.gov.au/acacia/#PROPAGATION
http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/nexus/Acacia_spp_nex.html
I wish I had time to go to these links and read them right now. If you happen to look at them and find solid information please update us.
