Guest UCfanatic Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Hello, long time reader and first time poster. I have sort of a problem and any advice on the subject would be great. Earlier today I was doing my usual watering routine and had noticed that I had just watered my Utricularia quelchii x praetermissa with a gallon of water I had mixed Superthrive into for dividing my Cephalotus in December. Thankfully I realized that I was using the wrong water jug and only about a tablespoon of the Superthrive mix made it to the medium. After realizing what I had just done I quickly flushed out the pot with a half gallon of clean distilled water. Any info on how Utricularia are affected by Superthrive or ideas on what more could be done would be a great help. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jefforever Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Welcome to CPUK! It won't matter. I've used superthrive on my macro utricularia too. I don't anymore, but I used to. If it's pure Superthrive, then I'd be a little worried... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest UCfanatic Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Thanks for the response, that is sure relieving to hear. The superthrive mix was only like 6 to 8 drops in a gallon of distilled water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFS Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 What's with the superthrive? I mean CPs grow perfectly well without it, at least they do for me... Isn't it a bit like homeopathy, with most ingredients effectively too dilute to be of any use? Or am I just missing out something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest UCfanatic Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 I only used Superthrive for my Cephalotus to treat the shock from division. I don’t know why I kept the gallon of water I mixed the Superthrive into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jefforever Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 It's generally useful for reducing root shock. Although my plants don't seem to care either way, why take the risk of not using it when you have it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFS Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 OK, so is it a bit like me not repotting on a Friday the 13th just in case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
