How big and what shape are the "pods"? They may be flowers forming but those would be tiny and green, no more than around 1/4" with multiples coming out. Its a little late in the year for that anyway, mine flower in late year and set seed around now.

They're very small ovals and not near the nodes exclusively

Caapi flowers start as small green balls and then turn red and open into hot pink flowers. At least on mine those are the colors. What you saw may have been from insect activity, perhaps a chrysalis stage.

This is a B. caapi cutting that i'm training to grow around my bedroom. I recently transplanted this to the pot its in from a much smaller one and its putting out a lot of shoots as you can see in the third pic
  
Here is my P. alba, it dropped all its leaves for a third time and these are the new ones.
I'm training these houseplants like the B. Caapi. I believe they are Epipremnum aureu not sure though.

This thread still used? I just found it lol, with this ban coming in uk not sure will be able to buy b caapi anymore, so im pondering buying seeds.
In uk will i be able to grow it indoors? Is it worth while do you think, i mean how much can be harvested per plant? Seems it takes a long time to grow to point of being able to use it. I have plenty of syrian rue which i guess can be used instead, and some chacruna seeds on order also, but i cant decide on b caapi if worth a go.
Anyway, just thought id come find you guys what know what your talking about! Some nice pics on this thread

I'm so jealous at the people who can get their B. Caapi growing mine just lost all it's leaves! But I've heard this isn't a death sentence, the tips of it are still green, does that mean it's still alive?

I got two B. Caapi rooted plants about a month ago now, one Black, one Cielo. After dropping a bunch of it's leaves, the Black Caapi started sprouting a bunch of new ones, that seem to be doing well, though I've noticed some browning and curling up on the tips of one set of the new leaves, and I've been wondering/worrying about the way the other older leaves are browning and splitting. Several look like they won't be around much longer. Is this normal shedding like what happened when I first got it, or something more worrying going on? Should I be concerned about the browning and curling on some of the newer leaves (you can see both things in these photos, though the browning on the newest leaves is kinda hard to make out)? It also seems to have slowed way down after a week of explosive growth (all the new leaves you can see in the photos popped up in rapid succession, but nothing much has happened since):
  Any thought's on what's going on with this guy or what I need to be doing to keep him healthy?

The Cielo I got at the same time seemed healthier than the Black initially, but then lost all the leaves it came with; started growing a new shoot, some new leaves, but then that stalled out and only one of the four new little leaves it had grown is left, and it hasn't really gotten any bigger. There still seem to be some buds coming off of a couple places on the stem, but I'm worried about how this guy is faring. Any thoughts on what's going on or what I should be doing to get this guy back into good health? I've got both plants in my bathroom so that they get plenty of humidity. The normal humidity here is already pretty high this time of year, and my apartment runs warm. They get indirect sunlight. This photo is from a couple weeks back:  This photo is from yesterday:

Hello all!!! I picked this guy up about 2 months ago. It’s was about ten inches tall and had 3 leaves on it. It looked like it was on deaths door step. It bounced right back with minimal care. Amazingly resilient plant. I am not sure the variety. I am rooting cuttings now. I live on the line of zone 8 and 9 so I’m gonna try and put some in the ground next spring.

Very nice, looks like it could take a bigger pot though.

Thank you. It filled that pot very rapidly. I’ll have to find something larger. Appreciate the advice!!

Looks like bug damage to me, but that's only a guess. Can you see any kind of activity? Spider mites are my first thought.

I looked but did not see anything, but it was in the evening and mosquitos were eating me alive. I had aphids on my largest caapi several months ago, I don't recall what the damage looked like besides stunted growth but I caught it pretty quick and killed them. I'll look tomorrow with a magnifying glass. I have them in a mix of perlite, worm casting, tad bit of leaf mould, and a touch of coarse sand.
