Talking root stimulator for sick cattleyas,vandas,etc.

Hi everyone, I tried to write this once already and it didn't take. Here goes again. Root stimulator with butylic acid in it-check label,not all of them have it, has proven to be a great mix, with water and a little superthrive . I've saved several stressed,some slightly overwatered, and some poorly rooted 'new to me' orchids with this mix. I water them about every other time with my 'sick plant mix' as I call it. And it has helped them sprout new roots and growths. It is not a 'miracle worker' it takes time but it has saved at least 7 of my 'babies' from being tossed in trash due to my newness and inexperience in the beginning. Magic mix-once again, water+ butylic acid type root stimulator+superthrive. Worked great for me, hope it can help you too! I keep some mixed up in a two-litter pop bottle just for my sick orchids. Good luck and happy growing!
