Yw!

There is a combo wetting agent/disinfectant that is often used with plants. It’s called Uptake. It’s often applied to clean benches and hard surfaces to disinfect, and water lines. Also sprayed on plants to help wash off and dull/inhibit present diseases on the surface. I don’t know if it will...

I hate those recipes, where they make it so you can’t just copy and paste the recipe instructions; instead they intersperse the ingredients and instructions between lots of verbiage and pictures (and the inevitable pop up ads…)

Nice.

If I had a living besseae that flowered I would be happy no matter which direction it waved its arms)

Very nice! Even the unopened buds have an amazing color blend

…. As with greenhouses… you just need a bigger frig! ;)

Good thing they are at the top of a distant mountain…

I’m glad I don’t ‘grow’ paphs! :D … I barely grow phrags; pouch people get way too wild and touchy ;)

Nice. I have one that I received as part of a trade or purchase some years ago, and I think it’s only added another growth. But it’s still alive …

One thing to point out, is that there are many chemicals which used to work very well, but they were over-used, or used at the wrong time or for the wrong pest. One of the greatest problems in applying chemicals is that most ever produced now have resistant pests or diseases and no longer work...

True. An alternative is to mix up a five gallon bucket of the liquid, flow it through and over the plants, wetting all, letting it sit in its own saucer (or not) and drench each pot individually. No mist floating around and better coverage. Theoretically, a bucket, aquarium water pump and...

That’s a lot

If you are trying to use a systemic for scale and mealy bug, then a good plan would be to have a container to dunk and hold the whole plant into. Granules on top repeatedly is just breeding resistant pests. If you dunk a dry plant and keep it dunked in liquid , you’ve reached every part of the...
