Hi all,
I have made some additions to my collection so i though i show you.
OK first i have got my hands on some Caapi.
 Left-Black Right-Cielo (Yellow)
 P Viridis and B Caapi Red McKenna. (I doubt this is a real P Viridis as it looks like a P Alba to me but future will tell for sure)
 B Caapi White (not feel so good after transport, hope it make it) and a Mimosa ( hostillis or Verrocusa, I dont remember but I have seedligs of both coming up now so we will see later).
Some leaf cuttings of P Viridis:

one more pic, sorry for quality of pics-

Some new Mitragyna Speciosa:
 M.Speciosa (Riafat) first one
 M.Speciosa (Riafat) second one
 M.Speciosa (Riafat) third one
 M.Speciosa Thai "Red vein", Dont look so good after transport through this worlds post system but hope it will make it. I will be supprised if it didn't.
Some Cactus:

More

Some Trichuserus, Pachanoi, Peruvanus and Macro. small ones but grow fast.

a P Harmala that seems to have stopped growing:

Some fun:
 Goji-berries
 Mini bonzai red HOT chilli
Some mushrooms drying on newspaper ;-)

What a beauty:

Someone can give me some good growing tips/info on B Caapi, P Viridis and Mitragyna Speciosa?
I am really looking for to add a iboga and a E Novo to my collection but i guess i get one someday.
Happy growing... Happy living...

What kinda lighting system do you use?

I am new to growing both Caapi and Viridis so i really cant give some very good advice.
What i can tell is P Viridis leaf cuttings do very well just in a south window with a 25W CFL over them. My B Caapi seems to thrive in a south window under my 250W CFL exept my white caapi, but i think i overwatered or watersprayed it to much. I waterspray my Caapi & Psycotria every morning, afternoon and evning. I dont knowif its good but i guess in amazonas theyget som rain periodicaly.
Im really happy all my 5 leafcuttings of P Viridis (maybee alba??) is putting up new growth in several places. I could not beleve they were so easy to get growing.
About lightning i use the sun + small CFL for seedlings and cuttings. For the bigger plants i use the sun (allways) and a 250W GROW CFL at 6500K (Growing phase). seems to work good. My Lophopras grow good and flower under it. And i have other cactus flower also, quite a few are starting to develop flowers.
Happy growing..

Those are some very nice looking plants! I'm most interested in how the Thai Red Vein comes out. Never had the chance to try my hand at the strain. Where'd you get it from?

Well thank you Velcro, too bad the Thai Red Vein were in such a poor condition after the transport. I have 2 more on order and hopefully they will be a little healthier as generally the live plants from this vendor have been in quite good condition. I love to tell you were i get these but, is it OK with the rules to discuss vendors?
If anyone has some growing suggestions or good growing info on B.Caapi, Psychotria sp, Miragyna Speciosa and Mimosa i would be grateful as i am quite new to growing these ones.
Best regards Mateo

As far as the M. speciosa goes, keep the temperature above the 50s, the humidity high, and water it like there's no tomorrow. Several weeks before harvest, water more sporadically, letting the soil dry out for a day or two to get increased alkaloid content. Once you go through it a couple of times you'll get the hang of when to water. If it gets too dry it'll start shedding leaves, so the best point to water during this period is right before it starts shedding. The best time I've found to harvest them is late October right before the leaves start to fall, but I grew mine outdoors in a much higher hardiness zone than you, so you'll have to figure that one out for yourself.
The rest I've no personal experience with.

Thanks Velcro and Leponumos,
Only thing i really worry about with my M Speciosa is that i cant provide enough humidity. A couple of years ago i tried to grow some M Speciosa in a hydropnic bubbler and it grew like mad but i did something wrong and they died. I think something about the nutrients or not switching to new water+nutrients when i should have done so. A 30W CFL about 30 - 40 cm above was enough to really get them rocket grow in the bubbler.
And Velcro you got a PM.
Happy growing.

Really like your Mitragyna plants, it's a plant i like to grow in the future, do you grow them indoors all year round?

Incredible plants you got there! I have one question: Did you start the Sida cordifolia from seed? Since I'm having some seed and I tried to plant some in regular sowing and cutting soil and some in cactus soil without much succes; It was just an experiment since there's not a lot of cultivation info on the plant.

That's what I like about it... a well balanced garden is a well balanced mind.
