I think with some breeding and testing effort Coleus is worth it. It all depends on the inter species variation. It grows like a weed although neglected. Isn´t the highest content measured in the polish paper close to 10% of what divinorum has?

You might be able to keep it as a large bansai in greenhouse.

Thank you very much blackb0x!
Great source, i stumbled upon them one time but wasnt aware they have Virola.
Phytosanitary certificate seems to be required for my region, will research that.
Seems hard to grow those trees inside in my climate.

If you're looking for a source Anderson's is great and has fresh ones: https://andersontropicals.com/products/copy-of-virola-surinamensis-ucuuba

They get humongous and are dioecious though, so they're only really viable to grow if you live in the tropics and have a lot of space.

Good day gardeners,

I am curious if anyone grows Virola species. Seems to be hard to obtain. I would be happy if someone shares some experiences.

So just to end this thread... I attempted this 2 more times... The last 2 did have better results living longer before drying out HOWEVER I think it may be too far apart to be compatible.

Hello everyone.. I'm following the DMT-Nexus forum, where I'm trying to get the extraction of DMT down (no luck so far) and was referred to this forum to learn about cultivation of mimosa hostilis. I'd love to hopefully, in the future, contribute by sharing seeds, but I currently have none. I'd like to change that though. That is why I'm here to learn, grow, and hopefully share with newbies like me in the future!

Hello fideles-aru!
Phalaris requires a lot of dedication and research. There are some clones around, but you can't be sure it's the right clone because morphologically they're difficult to distinguish. And if you get the wrong clone, there is a chance that it will be toxic to your rabbits because there are different chemotypes and there is a lot of variability. That being said, recently a few clones (Big Medicine, AQ1, Yugo Red...) from different sources were tested and they were all not what they were supposed to be.
As well there is some motion in this subject with a research group examinig Phalaris deeper.
Best regards,
TC

Hey Geezer!


Sorry about the slings and arrows. I think most of us are in the same boat of late.

Paw paw needs a male to pollinate. They usually recommend one male for up to three or four females.


And sorry I don't have any. They are fussy to ship I hear. Prob best to source from a nursery, online or otherwise. I think Logee's used to carry them.

Hey, thanks for the reply! My balcony gets only afternoon sun. Honestly that's one of my main concerns with all of the plants I'm thinking of growing, since any plant out there would only get about half as much continuous sunlight as out in the open. The cactus is an interesting option though and I'll add it to my list. It's probably a good idea to try several plants to see what sticks and what doesn't given my lack of experience. I'm curious how well indoor growing with a light works for some of these plants if the balcony doesn't work out.
