You can also mix it with a bit of Sulfur and it becomes a bandaid.

Thank you for the very useful information. I have some of these items on hand, but not kelp. Can I use kelp from a local pharmacy as a substitute? What is the right amount of dosage to use for plant roots? In fact, I have dried seaweed for cooking (which I never use anyway.) Would adding a piece of the seaweed in a bucket of water have a similar effect to kelp?

Still learning...

I've been at the lake for a while so just saw this. I'm not sure about the kelp you mention but I can't see it hurting anything. The kelp referred to by orchid growers is usually meant for applying to plants and comes in a dry powder or a liquid form. I get mine from a hydroponics store and it seems most of them carry one brand or another. But making a tea of some cooking kelp leaves will have some benefit I would think.
