Psychotria Alba

Having grown my Psychotria Alba for just over two years now you could say i have developed quite an attachment to the plant. They are a beautiful plant with the glossy rippled leaves of all in the Rubiaceae Family. Loves consistent watering but doesn't like to be soaking wet all the time. 

The Alba is reputed to have roughly half the DMT of its more frequently used counterpart Psychotria 

Viridis. However its growth rates are more than double of the viridis. I also find alba to be much less 

prone to infestations of mealy bugs and other insects by comparison. Which can make it a more 

consistent option for Ayahuasca brews

Fruiting in the Late Summer p. alba gets beautiful clusters of small white flowers which eventually

 turn into fruit after a few weeks. Seeds of Psychotria should be harvested just before splitting 

their pods and spilling to maximize viability of collected stock

Cultivation can be made by many different means including seed, Standard cutting and leaf 

cutting. We find that Psychotria Alba acutally takes quite well from any form and they are purely 

down to your circumstances as to which is better.
