FlavorTripping with Miracle Fruit - San Francisco, Aug 4th 2008 « Flavor Tripping

Plants that are 3' tall that would sell for $65 a year ago went for over $200 this year and I'm one of those who was crazy enough to buy one, figuring that there wouldn't be large ones like that available again for a few years.
What do you feed you Miracle fruit? I have a seedling with two little leafs on it. It has not grown any bigger for a month. The leafs are a dark green and seem thick / stiff. I was told wait until the little pot is filled with roots, then move up to the next size pot. I was told it might take 3 years before I move up to a three gallon pot and a 3 gallon pot will hold a 6+ Miracle fruit tree. I have given the tree Root Ehancer and did not notice any change in plant. I tryied my Favor ArgoFlash 6-6-6 Organic non-burning fert and nothing. I have tried Worm tea and no change. Any advice on Miracle Fruit would be great, it seems to be a big screte.

And yes I seen Miracle fruit berrys sell for 2.50 - 2.65 a berry. You get the cheaper price when you buy more then one package of 10.

Have you ever had this sour candy call War Head's? I want to try a Miracle fruit and a war head!! I was intruduced to this plant when I was visiting a friend at the hospital. I was talking to someone there who was visiting a friend that had kemo done and he said they give her a berry and then she eats like crazy, but with out the berrys she never wanted to eat.
