Psychotria ‘Nexus’

Psychotria ‘Nexus’ is a hybrid of Psychotria viridis (staminate parent) and Psychotria carthagenensis (pistillate parent).

Psychotria ‘Nexus’ has a fast growth rate when compared to Psychotria viridis and is as fast or faster than Psychotria carthagenensis. Psychotria ‘Nexus’, like most tropical Psychotrias, prefers a semi-shaded spot with a moist, well-drained rich loam soil with regular fertiliser. It is reported to be cold tolerant to 0C, however I have only personally left them out overnight where the temperatures have reached 2.8C before I brought them in.
