I've never used superthrive but you can get KLN here:
Welcome to First Rays Orchids

When I spoke to the guy I bought the KLN from he said there were two types of product for promoting healthy roots in 'chids, KLN & Superthrive. He sells both but favours KLN.

As far as I can tell they are similar products, but both are American products and I've found it can be difficult to get hold of either of them in other countries.

If a USA site is willing to ship them to your country then that's probably your best bet.

I've heard bad stuff about Superthrive used over long periods of time...KLN is the way to go, I use it religiously.

Such as?

I alternate Superthrive and KLN since about 2 years and have not seen any negative effect on them yet...

(Note: I've adopted this scheme after reading a post in OB, which I could not find anymore)

I only bought my first bottle this weekend. People seem to love it or hate it and I haven't found much hard information about it.

The hormones in both products decompose with temperature and light. Stored in the refrigerator, the stuff can be good for a year or more.

There is nothing in ST that is "bad" for plants, any more than there is in KLN.

Ray , is it possible for me to purchase Kln or Superthrive from you ? If so what would the price be and how would I pay you.
