Plant starter when dividing Bamboo

13 years ago

Hi All,

Does anyone have an opinion or experience using superthrive or a B-1 starter solution when repotting divided plants? Just curious. People are really divided when it comes to using this stuff anyway and I have resisted because most of the solutions seem to be acidic...not what grass likes. Any ideas?

Thanks

I've used it(Superthrive) at a stronger concentration than instructed with no ill effects at all, but also I've never noticed a difference on plants with or without it.

So, I can't say if it works or is beneficial, but I can say that it hasn't hurt any plants that I used it on.
