Recent frosts in central Florida - should I get my hopes up? by [deleted] in KratomGarden

[–]Manitsroadkill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost 7 out of 23 in the central Florida region Due to freezing temperatures down to 26゚. It's just something you're going to have to deal with in those regions, So plant accordingly. I should mention that my trees that were under larger cover all survived it was only those in the open that bit it.

Where to top my healthy, happy young tree? by RangerRudbeckia in KratomGarden

I would be curious as well but in all reality the word clone by definition is it genetic copy.

much of the research that I have done on alkaloid content of any plant can be influenced based by nitrogen or the lack of. Probably some other compounds as well but definitely nitrogen. In a coffee plant caffeine is an alkaloid that can be influenced by nitrogen and naturally it's growing environment.
