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. These well-established seedlings have been rooted for months and have a minimum of 2 leaf pairs. Ships in terra-cotta pot, included.
Growing tek and recommended care:
These seedlings were grown on a heat mat under 35-watt 2772-lumen 3500K white + red LED array at a distance of 13 inches at ambient humidity with no misting. Bottom-watered with a tray to a depth of about 0.5 cm until saturated, and left to dry on the heat mat until the terra cotta was completely dry to the touch on the outside. Can be watered as soon as dry. Top-watering not recommended.
To serve as a hub of conservation, education, and advocacy, making ethnomedicinal plants available to both hobbyist and serious growers across the country, while maintaining a dialogue that ensures these plants and more remain available to future generations.
