@Biancaa I use SuperThrive for everything and keep in mind, the ZZPlant thrives on neglect!!! How else do u think it’s been around for thousands of years!!?? lol. Good luck. Mines doing great. Just stick ur tongue out at it as u pass!!!oh almost forgot , since I use it for all, mix 1/4t in 1gal water FILTERED PLEASE!!! Or u can allow tap to sit for at least 15 min. to allow Cl- to dissipate. Some folks prefer distilled water but if y do, then u need to add N-+ which is the lifeblood of any plant so I say y add when u don’t need to or any additional expense? Plus I always forget things and u take the chance on that as well? I mean it’s like forgetting to breathe!!!🫢🏼πŸͺ΄
I saw this! I use Osmocote for a lot of my others and Fox Farm liquid. I may have to order it now Lol
Thanks for the response! So with the one u have pictured do you dilute it then use it ?
I’ve been using this one.
@LavenderFeilds thank you
@Biancaa yes dilute!!
@BuffCaperspurge thank you and it’s crazy u said that cause my other zz lasted 3 yrs and now I only have a stem of her left and I plan to add her in this new one , once she gets the growing ! Thank you (:
@BuffCaperspurge omgggg thank you I was just ordering some from Amazon but was confused on how to use it !!! Thank u for the detailed explanation !!!!!! I’m super grateful for you
@BuffCaperspurge can I use this also for my dumbcane plant
@BuffCaperspurge yes!!!! I am a super thrive girl too!!!!!!
@Biancaa thanks for the rating. Let me know if u ever need help and if I don’t have the answer I know someone who def will!!
@BuffCaperspurge absolutely you helped me out so much I’m forever grateful ! Thank you ❀️❀️
@Boymom-plantmom my vote is for SuperThrive but we all like what we like!!
@Biancaa u r forever welcome and im here w what I know and if I don’t, I have someone who knows what I don’t!!! 🫢🏼πŸͺ΄. Send me pics!!!
@Biancaa u always dilute the liquid and the container will tell u how. W SuperThrive I mix 1/4t w/1gal filtered water (brita container is perfect size) and as u water u feed so each time i mark water, i also mark fertilizer cause essentially that what ur doing. Only when u repot is true fertilization because new soil has enough nutrients to carry u through until next repot needed (double the growth or 1 yr’ish). Make sure u use filtered water tap is ok if u allow it to sit 15 min or more for Cl~ to dissipate, I would NEVER use distilled since u wont get the lifesaving N+ plants need to survive just as we need oxygen
@BuffCaperspurge your such a doll I just ordered some super thrive and was confused on the instructions ( it’s newbie ) so this helps me a lot
@Biancaa keep in touch. I always lean on my Sensae!! He’s a plant guru but I’m demanding deference now!! Hehehe
@BuffCaperspurge meet empress ( zz) big blessings (dumbcane diffenbachia ) I went to repot my zz but she said no madam not yet so I let her b and a stem fell off so I’m soaking it in water so she can produce roots
@BuffCaperspurge ouuuu what kind of plant is it ! I wanna see
