Al,
I used it for a while to try to slow down the green slime that grows on top
of the moss. No slime, no fungus gnats. Although I saw no ill effects on
the orchids, I did not think it slowed down the slime enough to justify the
cost. I do know an orchid growers who use it exactly as you describe and
swears by it. He heats with natural gas and has been pushing down
greenhouse temps for the last couple of years. I think his Phal houses are
now in the mid 50's with other greenhouses even lower. I have never used
it for this because I am pretty happy with my copper ion injector, but I
guess it will be put to a test this winter.
Just to steer this completely off track... Where did you get this
copper ion injector? I had never heard of one before.
