alcohol swabs for scale?
Thank you all for your answers . . .and don't worry, Ray--I wouldn't share
my black jack with any orchids! "Bob Walsh" wrote in message news:cBUTb.168353$Rc4.1295542@attbi_s54... Princess, Don't forget to add a few drops of dish detergent to the alcohol. It dissolves the waxy coating the scale uses to protect itself. Bob "Princess Spendalotta" wrote in message news:j8QTb.170099$5V2.856525@attbi_s53... How often is it safe to repeat swabbing with alcohol for scale? I hate to spray chemicals in the house in the winter . . . and at this time of year, the basement, garage, etc. all all far too cold to leave an orchid in. |
