Re: 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon of DOVE dish sink soap, 2
tablespoons of corn cooking oil, in 1 gallon of water.
Been looking at my tissue culture, S. x catesbaei, brown to the ground
and expecting new picture sprouts to appear. More realistically
speaking, my flat with S. psittacina, and more live x catesbaei was
going down hill until a treatment of the above ingredients.
It is a good thing that the plants are approaching dormancy other wise
I'd have to spend some money and get bigger pots.
Is it also possible that the plants are responded only to the Fall
growing season, don't think so.
Insecticide? Salt did do away with the protozoa that cause root rot in
my Sarrracenia, but Sodium still harbors the sand flea at the oceans.
There is no vegetation in Salt Lake. Meaning there is a point of to
much.
It would be nice if salt was a deterrent to muck knats, tripes and the
such. But being out of the right time of the year for these root
vegetarian bugs, I don't know, maybe you people from Down Under or OZ
could give us some insight.
Speaking of Australia, did you hear that Crocodile Dundee lost his knife
while he was Waltzing With Matilda through the Fly Trap patch?
Another mutated Venus Fly Trap with a lariat lassoed Dundee's knife from
his back pocket closed on it with it's trap and a salt water Crocodile
ate the evidence.
