I've only been using this stuff since 1996 and the only thing that I can
attest to is that superthrive DOES help out quite a bit with transplant
stress. I use a capful per gallon of water and soak the roots of
whatever I'm potting up in it for an hour or so. The plants seem to
recover much quicker using it. I've noticed NO other differences, such
as enhanced growth or pitcher production.
The two places that I know carry it are California Carnivores (a link to
them is in the CP Archive page), and Marie Selby Botanical Gardens in
Sarasota, FL. (they also have a homepage).
You might want to consider getting yourself a bottle, if not for the
supposed results then for the GARISH snake oil label. A true piece of
cheesy marketing Americana!
