Scelentium Tortuosum (a.k.a. kanna) is a succulent from South Africa with a long history of use by indigenous peoples as an uplifting inebriant. While accounts vary widely (in part due to translation errors, confusion over similar species, and differing ontologies between native and European observers), this plant is mostly known in the Western world today as an anti-depressant.
All cuttings are a minimum of 5cm long with a minimum of 3 nodes (“leaflet” pairs) per cutting, and come pre-dipped in rooting hormone (indole butyric acid gel) for ease of transplant. Discounts available for bulk orders.
Gnostic Garden is the pecuniary wing of a larger series of efforts toward conservation, education, and advocacy. In making ethnomedicinal plants available to both hobbyist and serious growers across the country, I hope to maintain a dialogue that ensures these plants and more remain available to all.
