History
The plant is originally from India, where it has been used medicinally since ancient times. It must have been introduced into Hawaii at a very early date, for its "home" now lies in the Pacific Islands. We know of no traditional use as an entheogen. The discovery that the wood rose is a potent psychedelic is a result of phytochemical research.
Cultivation
The plant is easily grown from seeds. These are either planted after having been germinated or placed in germinating pots. The baby wood rose requires a great deal of water and a warm, preferably tropical climate. Unfortunatly, when grown as an indoor plant, it almost never develops flowers (and therewith no seeds). It can also be propagated through cuttings.
