Hi Everyone,

I've just stumbled on this article and even though they don't exactly specify this treatment for mosic virus in hippeastrums I thought there might be some merrit to the information. Please tell me what your thoughts might be...it would be easy enough for us to give this a try.

Thanks Donna,

I'm going to try it! I have used it in cut flower water to keep it clear.
