Transplanted into a new pot, finally started seeing growth. Coincidentally this was about the time I should start bringing them indoors so I did, the new growth seems to be coming along, but I keep seeing what looks like good green leaves drop for seemingly no reason.

wake up and 2 have dropped, but they were dropping yesterday while I was doing stuff around the house and come back and more have fallen. This would be fine on a mature plant, these are a year old about though, maybe a bit more. Can’t afford to drop leaves over here lol barely got any to begin with.

Any one tried freeze drying leaf ? Because it make sense that it wood stop the engines.

been making khat syrup using the following steps

1. harvesting and clearing the hard stems

2. chopping in the blender with water (that's the trickiest part - need patience and a good blender)

3. cooking it (basically making tea) for 4-5 hours on low fire. just under boiling temperature.

4. after you cook, strain with cloth.

5. vaporize the liquids on low fire again. this stage depends on the amount of water used in the first place.

on average i get around 150ml of concentrate for 1KG of khat leaves.

6. you should get a very, very dense liquid. just when you can't vaporize anymore. add a bit sweetner like maple or date syrup.

i know this goes against intuition.

but the result are surprisingly strong, effective, and durable.

the syrup can easily stand 3 months in the fridge and still be effective. 2-3 droppers of liquid straight under the tongue, and you got a great energy booster.

I'm still investigating and decided to share this info for you people to experiment as well.

I'd like to have more information and more conclusions from people who tried something similar.

please let me know if you tried this, or willing to try, and let me know how it went

Cloning khat, anyone?

I am updating a dataset on deaths associated with the khat plant (Catha edulis), aka qat, miraa, etc.
If you know of any fatalities connected with its use or trade, please contact me directly with details. All information will be treated discretely.

Anybody here a UK grower? Something is eating my leaves. Can't think what uk bug/insect would do this.

Can anyone help me figure out how to avoid coming across Khat here in South USA? I don’t know my way around the internet well enough to find out where not to go, so that I may not accidentally run into the plant. I wouldn’t want to come across the powdered form or the plant itself. Please help. Please excuse me if I’m breaking any rules by asking how to avoid this magnificent plant.

Bought seeds online. Germinated under led in april. Soil is citrus soil. Last time they all died due to overwatering. Northern Europe.
