Does anyone know if I can get hold of KLN in the UK?

Rosie if you can not find KLN in the UK try to find SuperThrive it is about the same and works very good. Or you can order KLN online shipping might be a little high but at least you will have some.

Thanks Roland,

I've so far not found SuperThrive in the UK either.
I think I will have to see what shipping to the UK is like on some of the websites from out there in the States.

Everyone here on OB seems to think both products are really good so I think I need to get hold of some.

Try these for the kln. They also sell Physan 20 or superthrive if you need any. So far these are the rare places I have found in EU which carries these. I haven't ordered any yet, but will do it soon!

Thanks Camilie, a UK site!

Just a shame my sister no longer lives in Oxford where they are based.

I've actually been looking at the Paphs on this site, but not made up my mind to buy yet.

I can't find KLN on their site though, although I may be missing it.

I'm going to try Camilles suggestion I think as I can see KLN on their site.

Rosie, what about trying Bio Roota - it's a gel formulation available at most garden centres and contains 1-naphthylactic acid. Also, to help these things work, I think it would probably assist penetration of the auxin by creating a small "wound" with a clean sharp blade. This one is designed to be used with cuttings after all.

Hope this helps
