They show up better with close-up.

interesting. I have never heard of using blackstrap molasses as fertilizer. Does it make the leafs stick or attract insects?

Just a table spoon to the gallon. You must melt it in hot water before added in. I add it to hot tap water in a jar. Stir the spoon to remove the molasses from the spoon. Add a lid to the jar and shake. Then pour it in to the feed sprayer. It is so diluted that there are sweeter things they would want. Orchids produce sugars more concentrated. I think the benefit is a variety of trace elements. It must be blackstrap.

Hello Harvey - I spoke to you this winter 2015, hope the new growing house is going well! I will try the molasses idea. You also gave me a tip on MaxiCrop, I am very please with this product, use it on everything needing a kick! Happy Spring!

I have just received a cutting of dendrobium anceps, I was not sure just what to do with it, but from the info I found, it likes to be mounted and hanging down. Any more pointers you can offer are welcome.

Can't go wrong with maxi-crop. I've had anceps for more than 10 years. The flowers showing now are many more than it has bloomed for me in all previous years. Look for advice from someone with consistent success...and let me know.
