    Anyone ever use this on their orchids before? The label does not mention orchids, or tropicals. I am having trouble locating any information about its use for orchids. Let me know if you have any experience.

    Thanks Dale.

    I didn't bother to mention what it was for, because I was making a presumption that if you did not know, that chances are you had never used it. :)

    Anyone?

    true, however, perhaps if I knew what it was for I might have another product that works for me. I don't.... just trying to be helpful :eek:

    You also didn't mention the active ingredient. I don't use anything with that brand name.

    the label lists several other plants, such as African violets and many other flowers. I am guessing it is safe.

    I've read that a lot of people use it on roses with no ill effect. There are a couple of references to people using it on orchids, but frankly, I wouldn't consider them reliable sources. You may try sending a PM to Ed and see if he knows anything about it.

    Be safe and test it first. If it is a wettable powder it is usually safer than if it has carriers in it.

    thanks folks. I think I will just pull some of my favorites out and have at it. I will post the results in case anyone else ever wants to try this.

    if it's what i think it is, it was recommended because there is no phytotoxicity (damage to the plant because of the pesticide) on poinsettias. the thing i didn't like is that it has a 24 hour re entry interval
