Superthrive

Why can't I find it? I saw a much older thread where folks said they bought it at Lowe's or Home Depot. Neither have it. I also called the local hardware stores. Nope. And a nursery close to me kept me on hold forever because she was checking to see if they had it (I didn't hold).

It looks like I'll get it on ebay or amazon.com.

From what I have seen using the search function this sounds like a great product. I'm anxious to get it.

How often would you suggest using it?

I am able to get Superthrive at Walmart and Home Depot. It's on the shelf with fertilizers. It's in a 4 fl oz bottle usually attached to a piece of thin cardboard. It can be used every time you water although I would use a weaker solution than the recommended 1 ml to 1 gal of water.

I found it for a pretty reasonable price here:

neHydro.com

hope this helps.

Sharyn is just fantasticSharyn is just fantastic
Kelly: I found a small bottle at a local garden center, however, I couldn't find it at any of our home improvement stores. Oak Hill Gardens carries it, but it wouldn't be worth the shipping cost UNLESS you order an orchid too! Sounds like a good excuse to me. I hope you've seen their catalog. It's delightful and has me putting many orchids on my wish list.

It is difficult to know just how much this product does without a scientific double blind study. My thought is for the amount of effort, "what can it hurt?" I put a few drops in every gallon of water I use to water year round. mike

Thanks Sharyn! I thought I was going crazy. I figured someone around here would have it. I'll check out Oak Hill Gardens as well. Thanks
