CHACRUNA --Psychotria viridis--

This South American native plant loves high humidity and bright filtered sun. It is valued by plant collectors for its ceremonial use in traditional ayahuasca brews. These are stem cuttings taken from mature plants. They are often confused for other psychotria varieties. Viridis is most readily identified by the leaf growing completely connected to the stem. We grow these for the purposes of keeping traditional medicinal plants accessible.
