Hello again Arif,
I am more or less. I am just trying to improve the crap soil that the 1 plant store in town has. I ended up adding some sawdust from local trees, a bit of sand, & whatever plant matter these plants shed as they grow gets remixed into the soil. I have not added any chemicals yet except a once a week feeding of a very diluted 15/15/15 mix which most of them seem to be liking. I am considering collecting a couple 50 gallon trash bags full of the local medium when I come back from Ecuador. Depends on if I can take the time to collect it, & have the room in the car. The soil in Tumaco is mostly sand, so not really what I want. The plants were collected on the actual continent which is not far away.

Does anyone have any idea what the other plant with the reddish brown fruit is, so I can look up some information on it? I want to know how long until this thing is ripe, & care tips for the plant.
