evidence that seaweed exract works.
Working on my psychopsis (?) Fell out of my window due to my bumping it when placing other chids back in their spot. That's when I noticed growths busting out through the dying lower leaf! And when I say a lot I mean A LOT! hurray I am doing something right!

Oh the monstrous roots are already there. But the newest buds are my growths coming in question is the highest ones coming in could they be new spikes? The grasshoppers ate the old spikes basically down to nothing left... and what was left was dead...Gah the joys of country living...

2 x's a month and very weakly with each new addition to hopefully help with root growth in new media.
Oh and thank you. I am finding my epidendrom is shooting new root buds as well. Around 8 if memory serves so I am super excited

I am glad for you, that is quite a lot of root growth....I use seaweed mix weekly with fertilizer and you saw my Vanda Pachara Delight get all those pencil thick roots and lots of them....

It seems pretty much any kelp (seaweed) is really good for promoting root growth. Check in hydroponics stores if you can't find it readily. |
