because you can do this in just a pot and a window. This is just one of my indoor passiflora areas, where I grow passiflora caerulea and atropurpurea..beside them is a mimosa tree that they were wrapped all around climbing all over..so I had to just cut them back. Here is the leaf and vine..that will make a LOT of change and eliminate your need to rely on commercially obtained caapi leaf. Some oral doses is not too hard to imagine either once the stuff really starts growing.

I have passifloras outside in my garden also and on my deck..but I wanted to show people just what you can do with a windowcill.

I have a passionflower in my cacti room, that girl loves to climb on the big green poles in there, nasty one indeed

Do you harvest your mimoas leaves and twigs for Ayahuasca?

Radical cutbacks encourage those to grow into tree like plants rather than skinny shrubs.

..yeah right-on! jamie...

great pictures..and advice

the vines love you...i'm sure of that..
.

I don't know if you can tell from the picture, but I tie the mimosa branches down to promote lateral growth instead of just vertical. This way it bushes out and just does not grow straight up and it causes it to branch more. This is the way to go if you ever grow mimosa indoors IMO. I have never tried clipping the branches yet..only training them in different direction. I save leaf when it sheds in the fall. I extracted a jar of leaf but did not get any DMT. It is reported in the leaf in the entheogen review but you need a lot of it I guess. The tree is only like 18 months old if that so I wont be thinking of any harvesting for a number of years still. I want the trunk on that thing nice and fat with healthy big roots cus I dont want to hurt it much when I harvest anything.

Yes I can see that , your plant looks pretty much like one of mine, good work, pretty drought resistant they are.

I had those little mimosa plants left from back then and 2 have survived.

One of em was given to a friend who is heavily into pruning each season.
He collects lots of stems and leaves material ,while I only collect the material my plant sheds on its own . The one I kept and never pruned pretty much looks like yours.
Hard to believe they have the same age.

He has more or less proven to me that a healthy mimosa be can cut back to the ground and regrow pretty fast, fatter and healthier. He has beautiful small mimosa tree. With a nice fat stem and lots of growth each year.

I recall someone from Brazil stating something similar , and stem bark should be more active than the the leaves alone. He wrote often times MHRB actually consists of stem bark. I think of my cutbacks as a nice addition to my homegrown ayahuasca mixes,along with my homegrown phalaris and chacruna.

THe same friend of mine tried cloning without success. I'm eager to find a good method for it because that could work well with plants like ours.


11 New seedlings are on their way . I really like this plant.



Attached is a picture from cactusplaza- you can see that prune along the stem and had a lateral cut to promote main-stem growth at an early age.






jamie

Do you guys make passiflora tea for other purpose then to activate dmt?
How much dried material do you use.
Any particular method in brewing that you favour?


This is my Passiflora Edulis grown from purple fruit bought in the market.

Just ordered some seeds

Excellent! What kind did you order?

I had problems germinating seeds I ordered so let us know how it goes and
what method you used for germination.

i have had seeds for a while now (even collected more fresh ones from a local organic source), and they are hard as heck to germinate.

i had about 100 germinating for almost a month now.

only 2 germinated so far.

apparently they can take around 6 months to germ.

i think it is best to start these plants from cutting.

My P.Edulis germinated really fast, maybe in two weeks but I have read that it can take months.
I just took the seeds from the fruit and rinsed away any lingering pulp
that I couldn't eat.
There's quite a lot of seeds in a fruit so I just tried some different methods.
Some pushed down into the soil, some half popping up of the ground and some sprinkled on top
of the soil.
I got best results from sprinkling on top of the soil. The top of the pot was then covered with some plastic to maintain
moisture.

None of my P. Foetida seeds germinated=(

Ya I probably should I have bought some cuttings now that I read about it. I got P. Caerulea seeds. It seems like temperature is the most important factor when germinating which is bad for me because I have no greenhouse and my house is to cool for germination. Ill try anyways, but I am going to just get cuttings if I fail.

I like to start plants from seeds usually just to see the whole growth process, it intrigues me.
