s/h and rootless wonders
I got 2 rootless wonders, one a onc. wil. kiolibri "red" was in bloom,
I cut the spike when I discovered the root loss, the there dend. Burana white x B. pearl is just going into spike, that I just transfered into s/h, I was having problems with fungus knats and compost breakdown. the guy at the local hydroponics store swears by some stuff called SUPERthrive, I was wondering if anyone had any expierence with it, and if there are any tricks to try to get them to grow new roots also got some frost burned cats ( wife ordered them for my b. day and fedex left them on the doorstep in 14F weather) was wondering if there are any way to save them. |

that is alot weaker than what the guy at the store said, he said about
1/2 capful in a ga water and soak the plants to get it to the roots, I guess I'll have to flush then thanx Jack |

As a one-time treatment, a half teaspoon per gallon is probably not an
issue. Just don't use it at that rate all the time. -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies, Artwork, Books and Lots of Free Info!

Ok, does superthrive work well to protect a spiked plant when I changed
medium (yeah I know I shouldn't change medium until the plant is showing new root groth) and should I cut the spike on my rootless dend? BTW does anyone have any experience using Grodan cubes (absnt rockwool) to help with the moisterure / wicking problem of hydropearls? |

Maybe I don't understand your question, but SuperThrive, to the best of my
experience and knowledge, doesn't "protect" anything. It is a synthetic hormone, B1 concoction designed to stimulate root growth. I don't know about dens, but overdoing the exposure to rooting hormones has been shown to result in deformed flowers in some genera. -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies, Artwork, Books and Lots of Free Info!
