George Norris of Spring Orchid Specialties advocates the following:

In one gallon of 80°F water, dissolve:
One cup of sugar
5 drops of SuperThrive
One teaspoon vitamin E

I have taken that a step farther since hearing Alan Koch of Gold
Country Orchids, adding 1/2 teaspoon of STEM (soluble trace element
mixture).

In any case, soak the plant for two- to four hours.

Hi. Someone had mentioned soaking bare root plants in a rooting
solution. Can someone elaborate on this a bit? Thanks for any info.
