Dooby trys growing desmanthus leptolobus - Page 2

I noticed that the main stem on her was beginning to get a lil purple. I've seen this with other plants and it usually means they are lacking or need a little more P from the N-P-K. Phosphorus. Since it's used for root growth and stems a lot, and we want nice roots on her for spice production, I figured, why not give her a shot of some Canna PK 13/14. I think it was 6ml per gallon and gave her a lil shot. Stems are beginning to become less purple now. More pics soon.

And thats pretty much what one person's done here:-
todays desmanthus harvest - The Ethnobotanical Garden - Shroomery Message Board
Got it taking over the back yard and does quite well off it. He's also come up with an innovative method of harvesting. I think that this species is definately of interest to those interested in self-sufficiency.

Most of the tiny leaves are falling off now and it looks like it's getting ready for winter.

Being moved as is in it's pot/container to the new igloo location.

Updates eventually...
