Two questions were asked about SuperThrive:

1. Where can I get it?

I just picked up some at Sloat Garden Center is SF. I'm told better
Nurseries will carry it. It was about $5.00 for 2 fluid ounces
(or, as they say on the package 1000 gal drop-a-gal).

2. What is it?

It says on the bottle that it is a Vitamins-Hormone solution. It
contains "All essential Vitamins including (FULL strength B-1).
Hormones - Leaf, Root, Stem, Growth, Wound, Cell. Digested
Carbohydrates and proteins".

3. How to use it? (from the label)

DIRECTIONS - EASY!

When?
Weekly, best if soil is thirsty.
How much?
ONE DROP per gallon in all water
FIRST TIME - Ten drops
PLANTING, TRANSPLATING, REVIVING - Ten drops
Bare Root Soaking - 25 to 100. For 15 minutes. Roses
tender plants - 25. Others - 100.

I just took the plunge and poured some through some of my Nepenthes.
I even tried it on the N. Rajah. I'll probably leech it tomorrow.
I'll keep everyone posted on how it works.
