Calea zacatechichi (calea ternifolia) is a shrub occurring in the whole of Central America, especially in the altitudes of Mexico. From the indigenous tribes, a ritual tea is prepared from the leaves, which are slightly reminiscent of stinging nettle. Afterwards, they lay down and it's said that in the following dreams, you'll receive hints for the healing of your current sufferings.

Furthermore, the plant is said to help with bringing about lucid dreams. These are dreams, in which the dreamer is aware of the fact that he's dreaming.

Beschädigte Samen
Das Tütchen enthielt 3 intakte Samen, der Rest war zerbrochen. Samentüte und Versandumschlag waren unversehrt.

Ich habe trotzdem alles auf feine Anzuchterde gestreut und gut gepflegt. Das Ergebnis ist ein einziger (gesunder) Sämling.

Calea
Die Samen brauchen glaube echt keine Stratifizierung, sind alle problemos gekeimt und bis jetzt leben noch alle.

Die Samen haben bei mir auch ohne Kälte gekeimt, aber die Sämlinge sind mir eingegangen. Ist wohl sehr empfindlich die Calea.
