When I initially inquired about Gibberellic Acid after seeing it in an article (have never used
it), many people had some negative thoughts on it. Thursday night, Alan Koch spoke at our society
meeting and mentioned that this was a natural feature or element of Kelp/Seaweed fertilizer. I,
however, did not get to speak with him in detail.

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.
