Got Miracle Fruit and Salvia Plant today!

[tacosauce81]

My Salvia plant and Miracle Fruit plant both came in the mail today. I immediately went out to buy potting supplies.

Potted the Salvia in 1/2 Scott's premium potting mix, 1/4 verm, 1/4 perlite.
Pot was large, a foot and a half maybe two feet.

Potted the Miracle Fruit plant in peat moss.
Miracle Fruit gets potted rootball size.

Then I stuck wooden dowels to the sides of the pots with duct tape. They reached about three feet up. I wrapped cling wrap around them from the bottom of the dowels up to create a kind of humidity tent. Poked holes in the tent for the Miracle Fruit but not for the Salvia because the Salvia tent was considerably larger.

Anyways, both plants arrived in great condition. Got them two days after I ordered. I'd post the details on the sites but not sure if it is allowed.

If these babies shoot off I'll keep ya'll posted with some pics.
In the meantime I'm looking for a camera.

If anyone could give me any info on whether my humidity tent will work or not I'd appreciate it. Any info on making humidity tents, because mine is pretty ghetto, would be a great help.

Good luck w/ your new babies!
I have not tried Salvia. Nor Miracle Fruit for that matter but am interested in M.F. for use w/ drinking cactus tea.
I hope they both grow happily and healthily for you.

Thanks! I feel as if the survival of that miracle fruit is all up to the dear Lord from this point. If it works I'd love to send out fruits to ya'll. I hear downing cactus sludge can be pretty nasty on its own.

Where did you buy the Miracle Fruit seeds. I would love to get a few.

Cactus Tea isn't the worst thing in the world but it's definitely not something one wants to drink
Cactus Tea is a great ride. Mescaline in general is great but the tea is more powerful for the "full spectrum" of alkaloids.
I may order a few berries to see how they assist in the sludge chug.

Good Vibes Taco.

Ordered the Miracle Fruit Plant from Toptropicals.com
They give some basic instructions on growing but it seems the instructions are meant for growing in South Florida.
The major problem I can see in maintaining the plant is adequate humidity. Now if you live in a place where its pretty fuckin humid already then right on!
And if u are just lookin for the fruits I think there are places on the internet that sell them. But when I was searching for them last year I found there are also a ton of scams.

I do believe that the actual fruit is only good for a few days in the best conditions. That is why you find them pressed into pills or tabs for the most part.

Other than that I would like to know how much you paid for that plant. Everywhere I have looked they were very expensive.

Feel free to pm me the amount if you don't feel like posting it.

Thanks and good luck with the new kiddos.
