I've considered trying to grow Hawaiian Baby Woodroses...


My current HBWR plant is 4 years old and hasn't bloomed yet. I leave it
out all summer long and bring it indoors and keep it under lights in the
winter. I don't know why it won't flower. I had a similar plant a long
time ago that bloomed its second year. Here it is growing up over my
roof. It lives in a 20 gallon tub and grows about 15 feet in the summer.

It's very pretty!!!

Might need some very specific conditions? Higher humidity?
There is a nursery in Austin called "Garden of the Ancients" that
specializes in Herbal Entheogens. I got some Peruvian Torches from him
that I'm just beginning to propagate.

He had a monster HBW in one of the greenhouses that was blooming it's
head off. I need to drop back by there and see if I can purchase some
seeds. My Caapi vine I got from him is also doing well as long as it
stays shaded and inside of the greenhouse.

I've also scored egg sacks from the yellow garden spiders that inhabit
his greenhouses.
