Hydrogen peroxide
Hi all,
Although we have had great success via other methods, we have found that nothing has ever germinated in hydrogen proxide flasks, and we do not see the great benefit herein. Don't wish to be confrontational; however, we are just stating it as it is. So, our results are nil in every regards in referrence to hydrogen proxide. (This info. is released to the public via our personal experiments). Happy growing! .. . .

I had read that if you had crown rot you could safely water the plant with peroxide. I used it on two and they survived. Not a guaranteed thing for Phals in my care.
