Twice a week sounds like way too much SuperThrive to me. I use it on
transplants and leaf cuttings and I want to try some on stem-leaf
cuttings soon. Can't really understand why you'd use that much as it
will start weakening the roots, if it were to build up it the soil.
I don't know that it can, but why chance it? Once a month or every six
weeks is a much more benefical schedule and that's for the second and
probably last use.
