Low nutes really don't seem to bother them much.

Once you do feed them, worm castings work very well and osmocote is very good too, but only for those who aren't too fussy about being organic.

These guys are about 2 years old I think. Do you remember when the first set of leaves came in Bach?

Anyway, I've never given them nutrients other that worm castings. They've only been repotted once, from 4" containers to what they're in now. I use the "Bach Mix" and chuck in some worm castings.

After they got woody trunks, they started sending out a different type of leaf formation that comes out of the nodes, i.e. they start branching (pic 2).

Have a chance to check on the PV leaves :)

They are doing goooood ! All even those that I had to cut off much because of the brown. Sprouts: not yet, roots: plenty ! :D

I made the obersvation mine grow roots everywhere, most likely on the stem and snapped vein points. Then they also like to root where ever they have been hurt, also on the brown parts, so the brown actually appears beneficial as of now :) Also they even grow air roots from the part that sticks out.

Awesome

I have this leave in a cup of water, on a sunny window at room temperature for + 5 months.

 I don't take any special measures with her, just change the water every week and she is doing fine: long roots and 4 new shoots.

The yellow veins are indicating lack of some nutrient. It is time to put in a soil mix. Shoots are big enough.

*_* Peeeeepzzzz !

Guess who saw tiny winy leave like structures gathering at the roots ! Beginning of leaves and shoots I guess. Just awesome ! :D

Update: When watering I tipped one over, what a mess ! But I thought if it is already out of the pot I may show it around. It's the one that I worried most about, originally. It had all sorts of black spots which I cut away. It is really amazing how one could nearly say theese plant benefit from things being rough. You can nicely see how roots will develope at points where a vein has been injuried preferably. Its good this one will also make it.

Here's an update on mine as well.

I had planted 3 in one pot, 2 in another, as I didn't have many pots. The remainder I planted in the ground next to seed grown psychotria and the caapi vine. I gave the pot with 2 to my freind (I like to give plants away).

So now I have more pots after I planted some of my plants in the ground. I took 2 out of the pot and left the middle one. I didn't notice any shoots (didn't look too hard though), but nice root development.

Like someone said above, one of them in the ground seems to have developed some sort of air roots? Like 2 little structures coming out of oppisite sides of the back vein.

Thanks for the leaves Bach, that was an awesome welcome to STS!

Anyway here's the two I re-planted.

Is anyone else having trouble rooting #6?

I had 4 and 3 have succumb to the black rot. The last one has a big spot of it and is just barely hanging on.

All the other #'s (1,3,7) have done fine in the same conditions.

Thanks,

Forgot about these seeds for awhile again and they grew in the container in the closet
I transplanted them to containers and also put some in my new aeroponic tower garden.

That's interesting about #6 being slower than the others since the mother plant is the biggest, hardiest one of the bunch.   ???

And the winner to first shoots is....

#2 in the horizontal planting method!!

edit: just did another closer inspection, and a couple #3's planted with the vertical method are the runners up! The next few weeks look like they're going to be exciting with new babies.  :) 8)
