Psychotria viridis
Chacruna
A rare and highly sought-after tropical shrub native to the Amazon basin, Psychotria viridis is admired for its lush emerald foliage, elegant growth habit, and deep ethnobotanical history among indigenous cultures of South America. This species thrives in warm, humid environments and makes an excellent collector plant for greenhouse growing, bright indoor conditions, or protected outdoor cultivation in frost-free climates.
My plants are propagated from healthy stock and carefully established in individual containers to encourage vigorous growth and strong root development. Young plants appreciate consistent moisture, high humidity, and protection from cold temperatures below 50°F.
A fascinating addition for collectors of unusual tropicals, ethnobotanical species, and rare medicinal plant gardens.
