Growing in greenhouse

In the northen hemisphere, coca plants grow well in green houses all year round. The longer photoperiod in summer is no problem to coca plants. They will only grow faster and perhaps flower, get pollinated, and produce seeds. On very hot days, it is necessary to cover the greenhouse with a (30%) light blocking sunscreen. This will prevent the temperatures above 35° C (95°F). Young plants up to 1.5 years always need susncreen protection. Sometimes even with a sunscreen the temperatures can rise to 50°C (122°F) and air humidity can drop to 25%. It´s amazing that, with sufficient water, the adult plants keep their heads up under these conditions. But younger plants will show signs of stress under the same conditions. Spray the younger plants with cool water and they will recover.

The shorter photoperiod in the winter is not a problem. The coca plant will only grow more slowly than she does in the summertime. It is important to heat the greenhouse if the night temperature drops below 10° C (50° F). Adjust the heating to 22° C (71.6°F). An electrical heater of 2 kilowatts is sufficient for 10 mt2. Even a petroleum or gas burner can be used for heating; the C02 (greenhouse gas) benefits the growth of the coca plants. You can save a lot of energy by insulating the greenhouse with a light permeable insulating screen. Air ventilation is important in the winter time as well. If a petroleum or gas heater is used, attention to ventilation is especially necessary.

Growing outside

Coffe and tea plants often grow well alongside coca plants; in a mountainous región in the tropics, sufficient rainfall and milder temperaturas allow the plants to retain their delicate aroma.

The climate at this altitude is more subtropical, like that of the Mediterranean or the southern United  States; if you live in a similarly frost-free área it is very easy to grow coca plants outdoors.

You only have to dig a hole in the ground and fill it up with garden compost. Plant your coca bush and water it twice a week if there is insufficient rainfll. Place fencing around the coca plants to protect them from rabbits, goats, and deer. In the northern hemisphere the summer is the only posible time to grow coca outside, but conditions are nearly ideal at that time.

Moderate temperaturas and 18 hours of daylight allow the coca plants to thrive, and harvest of good quality is possible.

June through August is the time to place your coca plant in a sunny spot in the garden in the vicinity of a brick wall. The wall serves to absorb heat during the day and radiate it at night, warming the plant.

Place a sunscreen above the plants that are first coming into contact with sunlight. Plants that are not used to bright sunlight will burn if they are over exposed to it. They have to get used to the light gradually.

Be aware that a coca plant can drink three times as mucho on a hot day

Finally, if temperatures are under 10°C (50°F) it is safer to place them inside, despite their tolerance to low temperatures.

List of Alkaloids contained in coca leaves and their qualities

The consumption of coca leaves does not stimulate the use of cocaine. It might sound paradoxical, but heavy cocaine users have benefited from chewing the coca leaves; it takes away the chaving for cocaine and helps to reduce or even stop cocaine use.

If coca leaves are available, most people prefer chewing the plant rather than using cocaine. Only a small percentage of coca chewers use cocaine.

Cocaine: Stimulating, euphoric, painkiller

Ecgonine: Increase stamina, regulates the burning of carbohydrates and increases burning of fat

Quinoline: prevents tooth decay and strengthens the gums

Globulin: Stimulates blood circulation, remedies altitude sickness and low blood pressure

Papaine: Promotes digestion and healthy skin

Pectin: Anti-diarrheal, absorbs toxins

Reserpine: Lowers blood pressure

Benzoin: anti-ferment, promotes healthly skin, mouth and colon

Atropine: Dries salivary glands, relaxes muscle tonus

Hygrine: Stimulates salivary gland

Pyridine: Stimulates blood circulation, improves absorption of oxigen in the brain and muscles

Conine: Local anesthetic

Inulin: Improves the production of hemoglobin

Cocamine: Analgesic painkiller, blocks pain while other sensations remain intact
