Ayahuasca translates to "spirit of the dead". Visionary vine used by South American shamans to cure a number of ailments although in this case the shaman takes it - not the afflicted person. Easy to grow as a tub plant in a bright window in the North - ours has tolerated temperatures near 40 degrees F although it doesn't like going below 55 degrees for extended periods. Sink the tub in the ground outside during the summer and growth can exceed 25 feet in a season. Trim back before bringing in for the winter.
