To me B1 is the coffee for the people regarding orchids. Lol. Let me explain.

People don't care for an orchid properly and it is in poor condition. They hear about B1 and buy it, add to water and carefully administer to orchid maintaining the proper care. Because they are very interested in what will effects of B1 be, they develop increased interest in plant, and care for it more frequently and properly. The orchid flourishes and conclusion is it's all because B1 when its because of proper care.

Unless someone who is living from growing orchids can prove it they seen increase in size/flower/root after they added B1, and not because
- they installed new misting system
- they purchased 4N seedlings to grow instead of 2N
- they changed anything else relevant for growth
I would stick that it doesn't truly work.

That was a great explanation, Opal !!! I've been using Quick Start and Super Thrive and KLN at different times in my life for different plants and I must agree that you're most likely right that, in a nutshell, all it REALLY does is increase the confidence and attentiveness of the caretakers !!!! ESPECIALLY since only recently learning that at room temperature most of the ingredients in these products dissipates and I never kept them anywhere else but at room temp !!!!
