| Holy crap, how big is that pot, Gonz???? If that's a gallon, those are about twice the size of my Darths! |
RE: Lisa, how's this?
| | |
| Yeah, it's a 1G pot. I gave it and others a few applications of "Cactus Juice"® 1-7-6 as a test and, well, I'm pretty stoked with the results. Maybe since they're hanging now the extra air circulation helps too. |
RE: Lisa, how's this?

| Those are looking really good Gonzer. I have been using a Cactus fertilizer of about the same strength with good results. |
RE: Lisa, how's this?
| | |
| Is that a foliar application, Gonzer? How often? 1-7-6 seems pretty weak to be seeing that much green on the leaf. |
RE: Lisa, how's this?
| | |
| The green leaves are leftover from my experiment last year using Gro-Power 5-3-1 for turf. Remember it caused an outbreak of off-sets minus the coloration? The "Juice" was used with regular watering at 1/2 strength every 2 weeks for 6 weeks (3 apps). I'll get some pics of some other Bills that show some pretty fine coloring, especially 'Watermelon Man'. |
RE: Lisa, how's this?

| No ph concerns from the solution or possible salt buildup on leafsheaths? |

RE: Lisa, how's this?
| | |
| Can a Tillandsia ever be gratuitous? |
RE: Lisa, how's this?

| Gonzer at al, have you experimented with fertilizer that has low middle number (low P in NPK) such as e.g. 1-1-6 versus P being the biggest number like in Cactus Juice? Thanks. |
