This sacred vine, revered by the Aztecs and Mazatec people, is both beautiful and botanically fascinating. Here's how to cultivate it from seed:
🔧 Seed PreparationScarify the seeds: Gently file or nick the seed coat away from the germ eye (the small circular dent).
Soak: Place in warm water for 12–24 hours until they swell. This softens the coat and boosts germination.
🌱 Sowing InstructionsSoil: Use rich, well-draining soil—ideally a mix of compost, perlite, and sand.
Depth: Sow about 6 mm (¼ inch) deep.
Humidity: To avoid rot, some growers prefer germinating seeds in a lightly moistened paper towel inside a ziplock bag.
☀️ Growing ConditionsLight: Start in partial shade; mature plants thrive in full sun.
Temperature: Prefers warm, tropical conditions—ideal for greenhouse or indoor cultivation in the UK.
Water: Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy. Good drainage is essential.
🪴 Growth & MaintenanceSupport: Provide a trellis or stake once the plant reaches 25 cm (10 inches).
Pruning: Trim back large vines if space is limited.
