Was just givin some cuttings and rootting from a vine that was a direct cutting from Terence mckenna Red Caapi Strain on the big island. I live in an area it will thrive in.not sure what to do with it. Any tips on growing the vine? got em in pots right now to nurse them back to health..

..Awesome stoneyone! ..now what local variety of 'light' plant are you goin to drink with it..?

acacia confua(loacal koa tree), or a light dose of some local pan. cyans. maybe? IDK im just stoked right now to have my started vine!

So beautiful! I'm very excited for you stoneyone We expect lots of photos as she grows!

now you've planted a vine like that, you can never move house again! :-)

Lol.... well I have about 6 growing right now and able to get more. but yea my plans are Im going to plnat a couple on the 2 acres of land that I live now, Plant some on the land right next to my property thats is state reserve land that will be un tuched but i would still be able to acess even if I moved and also plant some on my friends land that he has 60 acres land. I live in Hana maui. I pretty much live in a sub tropical rainforest and the plant will thrive! As long as I stay on Maui and I have no plans on moving I should be good.

Still have my plnats in pots. A lot of the leavs went through shok and died but with out a doubt already got new growth.

One set of rooted plants is just sitting in a bucket of water right now and seems to have better new growth than the rooted one in a pot with sunshine number 4 peat moss poting soil but still also has new growth.
whats a good soil mix and any sort of feert works best

Also have a twig that I put into a jar of water that is shooting out new leaves.

Will post pictures soon of me baby new growt. Im so stoked!

all kindof an experiment at the moment and if anyone you guys have growing tips or links please let me know as I havent pound all that much online but im not the best googler

Once they are over their initial shock of changing homes, I've found caapi (well cielo variety anyway) to be nearly bulletproof, and in your environment you'll probably have to watch that they don't get out of hand.

If left in pots in the same spot on the ground they will root straight through the drain holes and put out amazing growth once they do. The roots stay shallow, but can travel quite far. The soil here is basically just plain sand and I find I never have to fertilize them once the roots hit the soil. If strictly in the pot, then yes they will need some ferts, but they don't seem too picky about soil mixes either IME.

In Ecuador the locals just take a section of vine with a node or two and stick it in the ground at an angle. Very shortly therafter a shoot will start and can easily reach six feet in just a few months. In the proper environment caapi is very easy to cultivate and you are in an IDEAL environment. (Two acres on Maui? I'm insanely jealous...)

Good luck and let those babies rock!

well here are some updated photos. about 80% of the original leaves fell off and I made a super realxing tea with em. But I got lots of new growth. So stoked! Just have them 2gal pots for now but they seem to be doing great

also a pic of some local cow poop i brought home from my last pick. Panaeolus cyanescens and/or tropicalis! just a test but seems to be working just fine!

awesome job stoney! thanks for posting these pictures!

Gog pictures!!

WOW slightly jealous!

can you maybe post pictures showing how your twig in water is doing? i would love to try taking some smaller cuttings (as i live in a cold environment and mine grow slow and thin) and rooting them next year...

Way to go stoneyone! I love how the faces are looking down on the little creatures
