Superthrive

I mentioned before the success I had with a number of VFT that were in
very bad shape. (By the way, when I tranplanted them they were packed
(and I do mean packed!) in a mixture that looked like it was developed
for large orchids rather than small bog plants - the plants were, in
some cases, beginning to decompose from root rot.) As far as I
am concerned the Superthrive saved the day for these plants in a very
miraculous manner (all survived beautifully!). It is not a fertilizer,
but more like a supplement to a fertilizer (although I used no
fertilizers). It is not "snake oil" - this stuff really works!

It is manufactured by the "Vitamin Institute" in North Hollywood, CA.
They will accept orders by mail if there are no dealers in your area
(they request that you give them a name of a non-dealer). Our friends
from outside the US might just order it like any other vitamin (??).

I will try to get more info for those who are interested. (It costs
around $8.00 (US) for 4 oz. (but a little goes a very long way!).

"California Carnivores" also sells it. By the way, has anyone heard if
CC has gotten online yet? It would be nice to see someone counter the
website from the "unspoken" nursery on the East coast with a good one
from the west side of town ....
