bonide granular systemic
 

i bought the bonide brand systemic and i was wondering if any one had any luck killing mealy bugs on orchids with this. i have a few specimen size species dendrobiums and i would like to treat them before they go into winter hibernation. also i know this isn't a cactus site but if any one know if this product would be good to be used on a 6 foot saguaro. the saguaro is very very old and alot of money so please don't give any info unless you're realy sure.

on the saguaro it would be a preventitive treatment i live in ct so my cacti are in another grow tent under lights

don't know what guy below is talking about

you have little patience and even less tact in your approach. as you figuring this site wasnt useful, you have fulfilled your own prophetic vision. made a post and gave it less than a day before you got upset. maybe you should be at a cactus site seeing how prickly you are. :biggrin:

if it was that damn important you would maybe learn how to cipher directions....:bowing

I'm not familiar with this product myself, but googled it + mealy bugs. Seems it is labeled as effective against them. Don't know about the cactus ... Hopefully others who have used the product will chime in with there experiences.

well i'm going to see what it does on my orchids at the very least. should arive tomorow from amazon. i'll warn every one else if it damages

yes, i have very little patients. i'm from the north east. i don't have time to bull crap. i paid an extra $30 to have over nite shipping from fedex so yes i would like to know what i'm putting on my collection of orchids before it arives. alots at stake. if it killed my orchids i'd be out 1000s so go to hell
