I am interested in learning about Australian native plants, but also interested in growing herbs as well as cacti.

@thedanielrichards It's from Bolivia 🇧🇴 and not Australia 🇦🇺
Isn't this plant a drug?
@purplecactus everything is a drug if you think of it with that frame of mind. I am growing it because I collect cacti, not because this can be used as a drug. Thanks for your concern though.
@mouldy I suppose so. I just wanted to know if anyone was growing it for cacti reasons and not drug related. Good to know! Did you grow this from seed? My seeds are on the way and I can't wait to get started
@purplecactus This one was given to me from a cutting a few years ago, but i have grown some from seed before since then. Good luck with your seeds!
@mouldy cool and thanks! how quick do they grow?
@purplecactus Quite slowly at first and faster and faster as they get bigger. You can give them a heat mat to give them a bit of a boost or even grow them under lights to help them grow faster in their first few months.
@mouldy ah ok! :D can you maybe message me how to grow from seed since you've had experience? I'm exactly sure how
@purplecactus I use the "takeaway tek" method with propagating sand. If you type that into google it should come up with a guide, but i recommend using coarse sharp river sand and not organic soil.
