Hey STS community,

i'm happy to introduce myself in STS, i registered last year, but no time to get here, this year should be better for me studying with the community.
I'm living in south pacific, in an area with many endemic species. Acacia Simplex crossed my way and did not let me virgin, so i started studying arount it.
Then herbal path hit me, i try to find here entheogenic species, or some equivalent to known species. I just started to learn few years ago, so i have many things more to integrate.

Actually in the garden there are few species that grow, i would like to grow more, this will come with time & love

Passifloras did not let me intact, i really love the way they grow, the spirit they involve in the nature, the pretty flowers that grow and the swetty fruits they give.

Thanks to make this site available and open to us.

Peace.

Acacia simplex is both easy to grow and fast growing it is one of my favorites. If you wanna start from seeds just fill a shot glass with water microwave until boiling then wait 1-2 minutes drop your simplex seeds in check back in an hour any seeds that are at the bottom can be planted if any float put them in boiling water again. i have had 100% germination rate with them.

Welcome to STS!

Welcome! I also enjoy growing passiflora. The only challenge is to keep them from taking over my entire yard.

Thank you for your messages

i've done small scar on simplex seed to germinate then put in water for a day. I found this tek easy and reliable because in few hours, the white kernel start to grow and get out the seed. I've 3 that just sprout from soil. It just need to be a bit cautious on the scattering to not hurt the kernel. I'll try to do a grow log with pics.
I love the unique spirit of passifloras, the beautifull flower they produce. I'm also interested in them as a legal source of beta carboline. P. Quadrangularis seems to have the most of them.
For those who grwed simplex, how much time it need to be mature ?

Cheers guys.

pastanostra,

Simplex' time to maturation is (IIRC) on par with most other species of acacia.


I am glad to see that you are active here, too, and hope to correspond more with you.
