KLN - How much do I use

[RosieC]

OK, my KLN arrived on Tuesday and I went ahead and used some but now I'm worried if I got the concentration right.

I've tried searching the forum as I'm sure the information will be here somewhere but there are so many references to KLN that it's like a needle-in-a-haystack.

I read the back of the bottle which had different strengths for different purposes but I was not sure what applied to me.

I went with 1 tsp (5ml) in a gallon. Well actually I used 1/2 a tsp in 1/2 a gallon but you get the idea.

I'm using it on a Phal potted in bark. The phal has only two shortish (ex-arial) roots and has shown extream reluctance to grow any more in the last six months and is struggling but still semi-healthy (well I've seen far sicker ones). I'm trying to encourage it to grow more roots of course.

So can anyone confirm what concentration I should use.

Also, I know it should be kept cool, but I think luke warm or even slightly warmer, water is better for my phals than colder water. If I mix it with warm water will that spoil it
