Are there any good websites with information on caring for a kratom plant? I've checked Erowid and i only found a few short paragraphs. I'm looking for some more detailed information.
Also, if you have any tips, other than what is on erowid, please let me know. Thanks.

hum, well i had one then I killed it from aphids + over fertilizing....
They like mist, sorta like salvia plants man. It's a damn tree, pretty strong once it starts going. Not really too much need for care.

I still have 2 of them. They like frequent watering and hate cold. Freezing will kill them. They like partial sun until they get older then they like mostly sun. Fertilize in the growing season. Check google for sites with info on kratom.

oh ok, still got two, that's cool too I'm thinking about getting one now also. I saw a really good deal somewhere so I may jump on that. But you said it hates the cold so then would it not be able to grow here (northeastern u.s.) ? It's spring and summer now of coarse, but then it'll be winter, eh..... so wouldn't work ?

I have mine in 15 gallon pots and the oldest one which is about 3 years old is around 4' tall and maybe a 3' wingspan. It has lots of branches. It usually drops most of the leaves in winter and now it's bursting forth with new growth. I take it in when it freezes. I topped it early on so it would grow bushy instead of tall.
