Hey MrPoon, since you grew yours from a seed, did the sprouts look anything like what I have in one of the pictures?

yes they look like carbon copies and i bet those "two" are really one (i've successfully taken mid stem clones before maybe two nodes, bottom node i cut the stems off for rooting, and left the top node leaves, here have a look

neat how they for a star(asterisk)

i'd say when cloning or cutting never cut at the node, maybe betwix nodes somewhere cause new tops form there
(currently have 12 calea's (gave two away awhile ago)(2 of wich are mothers from seed))
heres a couple of my first clones untouched outside

also i might note that i've witnessed main stem leaves seem to be larger and sometimes obtuse compared to the others (long and acute) wonder if thats permanent if a clone is from there? check it out

This is the only crappy pic I have, I'll try to borrow a camera to get a better one:

This is particular one is either from seed I discarded or just random.. Either is possible.. But I've found the same plant in other areas, including my friend's backyard. So it's here either way.
EDIT: CactusDan, have you ever brewed/smoked that bush you got growing back home? Just curious

I havent.
The smell alone makes me gag
I lit some on fire once, but put it out quickly as the burning scent may be reminiscent to illegal herbs.

Is yours bitter? No, right?
Mine doesn't have much smell or taste. Kind of neutral.
Now Valerian Root.. THAT smells awful

Mine has a lot of smell, and like I said, I can barely even do that without wanting to puke

Is it OK to water a young Calea plant with distilled water?

It should be fine, it's just water and only water.. I'd imagine tap water would be okay too. Rain water is great.
