Entry: New discoveries? Jul 30, 2009



I dont know what it means but here it is. I have about 100 seeds of the "supposed" non-toxic variety of jatropha curcas.

I planted 20. they are shorter, paler in color, dont grow as fast (initial observations).

i brought one up to work (air conditioned, the windows are tinted) and set it by the door.

along with 3 "toxic" plants (jc again),

now the non toxic variety is just as dark in color as the others. watering once every 2 weeks perhaps. but it looks a LOT healthier and has more leaves and they're getting bigger.

perhaps a more cold tolerant variety?

one can only wonder.
