Physan 20 & moss?
Does Physan 20 kill moss? I want to get rid of some of the algae in my pots
(and I think a couple have some sort of mold), but I've finally gotten moss established on the top of a few pots and I want to keep it. Just wondering if I should skip putting Physan on the ones with moss. thanks, danny |

A good question.
I'd dip a Q-Tip in the diluted Physan and wet a very small patch and see what happens. -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies, Artwork, Books and Lots of Free Info!

I'd skip it if you want to keep the moss. I don't think there's severe
damage @1tsp/gal, but anything more... I had several flats of moss under the benches when I treated with Physan and got a little browning (maybe areas that got more drip). But when I cleaned the benches and forgot to move the flats, the whole flat turned brown - all 4 of them. That was using 1 Tbsp/gal. So I'd recommend doing what Ray said and testing one spot first with the dilution you're planning on using. Gary "danny" wrote in message ... Does Physan 20 kill moss?

Thanks for the info. I won't be using a really strong concentration so
hopefully it will be ok. At least one pot has an unfortunate combination of moss and algae, so maybe I'll try that one first. -danny "V_coerulea" wrote in message .. .
