Hey THerm! Those new additions look pretty sweet! Def look overdue for a transplant, or am I tripping and the bottom is planted into the soil? Either way, great score <3

Definitely need a repot, gonna give them some time to settle into the plastic cups before putting into gallons and moving into the greenhouse.

Just got them in the post today, have not fed them yet. I use a fish and seaweed blend (2-3-1) on everything in my garden, plus mix crab and kelp meals into all my potting mix. These just showed up out of Florida and appear to have been growing quite well.
Just buttoned up my greenhouse, supposed to be highs in the 50s next week or so (USDA zone 9). I have some cool things growing in here, don't need any pesky cold weather screwing things up.

My two big trees in the ground got chopped back to the ground, starting to fill in nicely.

Over two meters tall, there are three or four main stems with lots of shoots at the base.

My Rifat - Thai rooted cutting is on the way from Shroomery Vendor KratomEye. I'm excited to join the forum and learn from it. I rather like Aldous for a name as well .

My Rifat Kratom rooted cutting arrived today looking good from Shroomery Vendor KratomEye. Also a few free samples. (One leaf did fall off in transit but no worries.)
There were detailed instructions on how to slowly introduce it to its new environment from the steamy bottle they so lovingly packaged it in. I was starting to crawl through that process when I realized that the temperature, gray skies and humidity outside were basically a match anyhow, and my impatience got to me, and I planted it outside the kitchen window lol.
Hope I did alright by it, and I'll certainly go out of my way to take care of it. Comments are welcome .

Just tried 2g of the Maeng Da powder in some apple cinnamon oatmeal. I've had some killer sinus headaches that no OTC have been able to touch. The pain is mellowing out nicely.

Plant looks healthy, shouldn't be a problem. I would keep it out of direct sunlight for a few days.

My second plant (a Green Elephant we will call Bernard pictured on the right) arrived today and the first (a Rifat called Aldous, pictured on the left) is going strong. It couldn't be more humid around here than it has been, which they love.

I was posting in here years ago and was a happy chappy with my Mitragyna Speciosa bush looking vibrant and healthy at about 3.5 feet high and wide (very bushy). Then tragedy struck when the breaker keeping my shed warm and the lights going tripped and I didn’t notice for a couple of days… it was the dead of winter and when I went in there to water and inspect things it was dark and probably about 10 degrees F!
Well I finally ordered a Malaysian clone the other day and expect it in about a week. Going to do my best not to let it turn into an ice cube this time!
Thank you all for keeping this thread alive and wishing you all great success with your plants!
PS: quite a while back when I was searching for seeds to start some Mytragyna Speciosa, I came across a description of a variety described as a “guava” MS. Not a hybrid or different species - it was described as a smaller plant (not obtaining full tree stature), with smaller leaves and requiring higher RH than other varieties. Also purported to be more potent. I’ve searched, but never found that again. Anyone heard of that? It wasn’t Mitragyna Hirsuta …

Maybe it is hiding in here … this is the first list of this kind I’ve ever seen:

Never heard any mention of a "guava" kratom, ever seen any other reference to this?
