Germing b. caapi

I got a bunch of seeds in the mail a couple of days ago including some banisteriopsis caapi seeds, I noticed they arent your average seeds the look more like petals. Theyre the things that fall off the trees and spin all the way down like helicopters. I dont have much of these things so I dont wanna fuck them up, how would I go about germinating them, is it the same thing as any seeds, just soak them overnight or should I just put them in the ground or what?

Just put them in soil. If they are good they will sprout in a few weeks or so. I usually tear off the wing and leave the stub sticking up.

Yea fresh B. Caapi seed germinate easily. Some can take much longer than others. I had one batch that germinated in a week or so the next batch I had took something like 2 months. I germinate them in gladware filed halfway with soil, mist and put the top on to build humidity, a little extra warmth doesnt hurt either. If they take a while to germinate andmold starts growing on them, treat with peroxide.
Hope this helps a bit.

I started germinating them in a gladware with soil like you said and I put them in one of them seedline boxes that you plug in for heat too. How long does it take for it to grow about 5 foot tall, have you still got any caapi's growing?

Once Caapi are well established they grow like wildfire. I have heard that large ones in optimal conditions can put out as much as half a foot per week. Now I`m not sure about all that but they do grow fast after they get a half dozen true leaves or so. I`m not sure this ansers your question but its all I can offer.

Stoney, I see you at just about every ethno related forum on the net, I assume you have been at this for quite sometime. If you get a chance I would love to see pictures of your garden sometime, I have a decent collection but I`m sure yours would put mine to shame .

Flux I`m not sure I understand what your trying to say here, but I agree (I think ). HBWR is a very slow growing plant I hear that once they get a certain amount of true leaves they take off but I have not found this to be true. MG on the other hand....
