STEM - Fertilizer

[mmdoucet]

Does anyone out there use STEM Fertilizer? If you do, how much do you use and how often? Someone suggested a Dip 'n Grow solution mixed with STEM, but I have never used the stuff before & I don't want to burn my orchids!

Thanks,
P.S. I am a newbie

STEM is not a fertilizer but rather Soluable Trace Element mix. You would use this occassionally along with your normal fertilizer. It is for "ailing or desiccated plants" and it supposedly gives them a boost. I have used it twice since I got mine. It really isn't necessary, but won't hurt or burn plants or roots, used as per the label instructions.
