Banisteriopsis caapi is a fast-growing vine native to the rain forests of South America. The ayahuasca plant is a sub-tropical to tropical plant and prefers humid conditions and consistently moist soil. However, with care, it can grow in colder climates by growing indoors or providing a microclimate.

In its natural habitat, Banisteriopsis caapi vine grows 30-40m in length up trees and other plants for support. You will need to provide a strong support for your ayahuasca vine, or allow it to grow up a sturdy tree if your local climate is suitable for growing outdoors.

The name ayahuasca means "vine of the soul" in Quechuan, the shamans of the indigenous Western Amazonian tribes use the plant in religious and healing ceremonies.

There are two scientifically accepted varieties of Banisteriopsis caapi:
Banisteriopsis caapi var. caupuri
Banisteriopsis caapi var. tucunacá (tukunaka)

The caupuri variety has big knots in the stems that make it very distinguishable. The caapi we are all mainly familiar with, due to availability, is the Tucunacá variety, this caapi comes in a variety of "colours", known as strains.

Therefore this plants full name is Banisteriopsis caapi var. Tucunacá - Cielo. The Cielo strain is also known as heavenly ayahuasca or sky ayahausca. Even though Cielo is a yellow ayahuasca, within the indigenous community true cielo is regarded to be more spiritual than the common yellow ayahuasca.
