Hey! Beginner here!
« on: August 25, 2013, 10:14:09 PM »

Hey! I started my garden last summer.
I have:
 5 San Pedro 1 mature 4 seedlings.
 Salvia
 Pereskiopsis
 and 7 one week old peyete seedlings

I have some special tobacco that I'm hopping I'll have seeds I can share in a few months. The seeds were found by my friends friend in a clay pot in a cave sealed off with wax.

I'm looking to start growing, Cappi, and psychotria.

Here are pictures of the plants in my garden:

Salvia, and yes I keep it in the shower

Is your mature san pedro grafted onto something?

Nope that's what I'm told. I know it sound far fetched but he's not the type of person to make that kind of thing up. He showed me some of the cured leaves he had and they were far smaller than modern tobacco leaves. I just planted the seeds a few days ago hopefully I'll have some seeds in a month or two.

He didn't get enough light as a baby causing it to elongate started putting him outside and it got fatter. Planning or grafting it when it's bigger.

Maybe this friends friend found the seeds while Geocaching? I have a friend who hunts for geocaches everywhere as a hobby and he's found all sorts of stuff inside them (rare baseball cards, pictures of people, a recipe for Indian cuisine, different minerals/geodes).

Your Salvia looks like it's lost a lot of leaves, was that before you moved it into the shower (I imagine to keep humidity up)?

When it was given the me it was described it as Hopi Tobacco because is was found in traditional Hopi territory. The guy who gave them to me is very trust worthy so I believe him.

I moved houses so the saliva was stressed and a lot of the leaves started burning so I harvested them. I left the healthy ones on.

Hello thathz, thanks for joining and for your intro.

I moved houses so the saliva was stressed and a lot of the leaves started burning so I harvested them. I left the healthy ones on.

Keep in mind that even leaves with slightly dry/burned margins are working for the plant. Unless the leaves are completely dried out, or show symptoms of darkening/rot/any disease, it's generally a good idea to leave them alone so the plant has as many resources available as possible.

I hope yours thrives well in the new home. Otherwise, remember there's quite a few proficient salvia growers in our community that might be able to help ;)
