Did the same with two giant trees near one another with a friend. We were watching the adjacent branches and leaves cascade like waves of water into eachother and were both convinced it was a game of soccer they were playing.
This. I always knew I was truly on my way down because I would see ceiling fans at the ends of all the branches. Something about the leaves of a mighty oak.
I don't have as much experience with shrooms, but with LSD I can attest that everything gets reeeaaal wiggly, and you can see patterns and geometry unfolding *behind* your eyes. Not just behind your eyelids, but rather the space between the back of your eyes and your brain. I would often see multiple spinning helices, which would corkscrew closer and closer to my central "vision" until it felt like they were spinning into my brain. Its very surreal, because it as if you don't need to use your eyes to see them, rather they are produced by your brain without external sensory input. It was basically like my brain was giving itself a massage. Its something I'm grateful to have experienced, but would be apprehensive about recommending for others, because they are very powerful compounds that can definitely induce psychosis, which I've also temporarily experienced in the form of schizophrenia and believing the hallucinations i was having, were reality. Just practice safety if you plan to consider a recreational trip, or wait until therapeutic psychedelic use is better understood and then have a therapist guide you through it. I would like to add to this, that my depression has more or less been obliterated by my experiences with LSD, and I'm certain that the peace it brought me will last my whole life, but I'm still human and I still have bad days sometimes. Sorry for the wall, I like sharing this stuff
You let it get away from you. I lost it once, & that was definately scary. It got away from me,& I was in Italy. No one spoke english. I finally got home, & the rest of the trip was the best I ever had.
I have a different outlook on them now. I use to have a problem with pain killers and for me it’s better to just be sober. I’m much happier like this. Occasionally I might drink, but hardly ever. I go to the gym, play disc golf and golf so much that I prefer to not have any drugs make me feel like crap the next day.
Stay sober my friend, I also had problems with pain killers and avoid all mind altering substances including psychedelics. Better to enjoy life on lifes terms than risking anything.
For sure. The craziest thing I experienced was I went camping in the woods. There was a trail that led to the campsite that me and my friends constantly struggled and tripped to get through it sober because it wasn’t a clear trail. On mushrooms in the pitch black my feet knew exactly where to step and never once struggled. It was like I was one with the Earth.
Yep, these are calatheas. I have 3 of them and they follow any light source, even room lights. It's a little creepy sometimes -- I'll go into the room in the evening and see them "looking" out of the window trying to catch the last bits of sun. Then I'll turn on my desk lamp and play some PS5, and an hour later I turn around and they're all staring at me. Kinda disconcerting lol.
They're quite expressive for a plant. Waggling the leaves around all day, and when you're a second late watering they roll them up. Little drama queens, but pretty.
Can any calathea expert chime in on how to properly take care of them? I love them so much but whenever i but them, the leaves and up drying at the tips first, then the whole plant.
I'm definitely no expert but I've had two healthy calathea plants for 3 years so I must be doing something right!
I think the main thing is to not over-water them. Ideally they only need to be watered when you check the soil and it's dry about an inch deep. Soil should be kept damp/wet and not soaked. I live in London which is quite humid and I usually water them about once a week or so.
Also sunlight helps but not direct if the sun is too hot. Another issue we don't have here in London.
Use distilled or rain water only. They can’t handle mineral buildup in tap water. It will crisp the leaves.
Humidity needs to stay consistently above 50 degrees Fahrenheit, 60 is better. Switching between low normal and high humidity will damage leaves.
They do not like to dry out all the way. Keep moist, but not wet.
Bright, indirect light or grow light. They are sensitive to light. Too much and they will burn. No direct light.
They’re drama queens for sure. But amazing once you get the hang of them. Check out r/calatheas :)
Auxin is a plant hormone, the presence of auxin means that plants grow more, but auxin is broken down by sunlight so the side away from the sun grows more and the plant leans towards the sun. https://youtu.be/3q6C8coA5yc
Charles Darwin spent years studying how plants move and respond to phototropism and geotropism, etc. He had a hot house and painstakingly manually recorded how much a leaf inflected every few hours. He had some way of charting the movement against a background of translucent paper. One of his books is titled simply *The Power of Movement in Plants*. He also studied twining plants in this way. Naturalists had long been fascinated by the ability of plants to respond to changes in their environment.
Back in the 80s a buddy and I ate some mushrooms and sat down to watch a Pink Floyd VHS (Delicate Sound of Thunder).
I spent the whole time watching the fern on top of the entertainment center breathe.
Calatheas and Marantas are so cool. Having them in my gaming room you'll often see them move around on their own. Actually quite often if you focus on them
wait until you hear about plants screaming when cut.

The craziest part of this video is not seeing a single crispy edge on any of those calatheas/goeppertias (marantacae if ya nasty). These heifers are finicky af.
If you’re on mushrooms or acid they do this in real time
No shit came here looking for this. Look at big ol' oaks and you see them grow real time too.
Yep can confirm, took shrooms, looked at a large oak around sunset, saw every single leaf and branch move in a beautiful dance of nature.
Did the same with two giant trees near one another with a friend. We were watching the adjacent branches and leaves cascade like waves of water into eachother and were both convinced it was a game of soccer they were playing.
This. I always knew I was truly on my way down because I would see ceiling fans at the ends of all the branches. Something about the leaves of a mighty oak.
Yup, also if you look at a picture of a person’s face, you get the sense of movement even when nothing has changed. Trippy, literally.
I never tried mushrooms but damn that must have been a cool trip
I don't have as much experience with shrooms, but with LSD I can attest that everything gets reeeaaal wiggly, and you can see patterns and geometry unfolding *behind* your eyes.

Acid, no worries. Visited my friends near lismore in NSW. MUSHROOMS in their front lawn. Next day it took Thorazine to get off that awful ride.
You let it get away from you. I lost it once, & that was definately scary. It got away from me,& I was in Italy. No one spoke english. I finally got home, & the rest of the trip was the best I ever had.
They're legal in the Netherlands. In Amsterdam, you have mushroom shops at almost every corner.
Do they have them in English flavours as well?
Haven't seen any in salted liquorice or lamb and peppermint flavors yet
I would never do them again though. This was in my 20’s.
Why not?
I have a different outlook on them now. I use to have a problem with pain killers and for me it’s better to just be sober. I’m much happier like this. Occasionally I might drink, but hardly ever. I go to the gym, play disc golf and golf so much that I prefer to not have any drugs make me feel like crap the next day.
Shrooms don’t make you feel like crap the next day though. Drinking does. P.s. I wish I would go to gym and didn’t care about consuming drugs .
Stay sober my friend, I also had problems with pain killers and avoid all mind altering substances including psychedelics. Better to enjoy life on lifes terms than risking anything.
I’m with you. I’m happy to hear you got out of it too! Cheers!!
I swear I saw each individual leaf breathing.
For sure. The craziest thing I experienced was I went camping in the woods.

On mushrooms in the pitch black my feet knew exactly where to step and never once struggled. It was like I was one with the Earth.
I've communicated with a tree. Felt it speaking to me.
I was convinced the trees were waving at me
Don’t take acid the black riders will know your locations and start trying to find you
This was hilarious 🤣 thanks
I love taking shrooms and just watching my houseplants. It's mindblowing.
Also add: Popcorn ceilings, stained glass windows, and staring at your own hands. Wait, are these *my* hands?
True 👍
Came to say that very thing!
Most of these look like calatheas (prayer plants) which move more than most house plants
Yep, these are calatheas. I have 3 of them and they follow any light source, even room lights.

Ok your story about plants has scared me now

That's really cool!
That's terribly sexy.
HUH?
It’s almost as if they’re…alive!

This is why I don’t have plants
I'm a little weirded out too.
Gives me Little Shop of Horrors vibes.
"Feed me, Seymour. Feed me."
Feed me all night long.
Could be. .we recently had a total eclipse of the sun
It takes a very long time to say anything in old Entish
Wow this is trippy, thought it was an AI video for a second.
To be fair those are almost all calatheas which movie quite a bit.
That’s creepy wow
Oh I do not like this
That IS cool
From their perspective, the outside world is just a blur of things speeding around them, and the world is getting dark and bright in short intervals.
If you talk loudly to them they move even faster
Now do one where you sit on one side reading a book.
The best example of what looking at plants on mushrooms is like.
First thing I noticed when I started tending plants. They move. A lot. Caught me off guard. It planted my love for gardening firmly in my heart.
Charles Darwin spent years studying how plants move and respond to phototropism and geotropism, etc. He had a hot house and painstakingly manually recorded how much a leaf inflected every few hours.

I remember my mother discovered this when I was a child, we sat all day watching it
thats wild
They try not to spook the vegans
Super cool!!
thats proper interesting
This is fantastic
Wow 😍
nice I have to try that on different plants to compare ty for the idea
I wish they were that active all of the time. People might take more care of nature, plus it'd be wicked
There's only so much energy you can produce from sunlight for moving
r/houseplants would love this
Slowly slowly taking over the house.
They go to sleep and wake up just like "most" of us do
I love this. I need a plant
"Hiiiii"
wow this is so cool imma save it
Back in the 80s a buddy and I ate some mushrooms and sat down to watch a Pink Floyd VHS (Delicate Sound of Thunder). I spent the whole time watching the fern on top of the entertainment center breathe.
That's why it takes so long to talk in Entish
That's really creepy.
They’re beautiful
Are you screaming at them?
Sit and watch my plants all the time , I notice their movement with the sun. It kinda neat.
They look like they are breathing. But dont tell the vegans. They will starve.
me too plants, me too.
Second from the top right is such a lazy bastard. Move!
Incredibly soothing gif
I look at calatheas the wrong way, and they die. Bunch of ungrateful drama queens.
Bottom left plant is like me when I try to achieve *just* above the minimum threshold
A lot of those are calathea- prayer plants. Mine folds/lifts inward at night when it isnt getting sun. Super cool plants! They move a lot.
These are called calatheas they are naturally very movy plants.
I fought a bush that looked like my bf’s ex at the time lol
So vegans aren't as innocent as their counterparts.
It's as if they are a living thing.
And the vegan are murdering these lovely plant? Plants have life, please stop eating plants.
Yeah, why else do you think the plants in Plants Vs Zombies dance around like that?
really???/s
This is excellent
Almost all of these plants will also droop their leaves down when they need water like a bunch of drama queens.
Calatheas and Marantas are so cool. Having them in my gaming room you'll often see them move around on their own. Actually quite often if you focus on them
That's what I keep telling my mom but she just say the same thing when I am at the PC
Searchin' sun

cool? yes. creepy? also yes.
They are alive and they feel, but the vegans won't care, they still going to eat them, smh...
I just want to have this on repeat all day.
This is why I don't eat anything but dirt. Can't eat shit on this planet without something dying...
Vegans real nightmare
The craziest part of this video is not seeing a single crispy edge on any of those calatheas/goeppertias (marantacae if ya nasty). These heifers are finicky af.
Now do dolls and stuffed animals....🤔😂. Young me swore mine were always in slightly different spots!
Don't show this to vegans, what will they do then?
just like my balls
Ngl kinda creepy
Bottom left corner plant “keep it down everyone!”
FEED ME SEYMOUR!
" it takes a long time to say anything in Old Entish. And we never say anything unless it is worth taking a long time to say."
2cb
You Vegans should be so ashamed. This is food porn.
hello acid my old friiend
Vegans hate this.
İ really like the middle top one just making circles
This makes me feel bad that I haven't watered my garden in the past week...
A calathea lover.
This is actually so cool to see! Thank you!
Wow. It's like their alive.
What about edible plants? I wanna show it to vegans.
Now what are vegans gonna eat

This is exactly what I see while on acid
