Has anybody had any experience using SuperThrive on Venus Flytraps ? Is it safe ? Will I see any benefits ?
How would I use it ? Full strength ? :D

It is a good rooting hormone, and I use it for soak when transplanting. They seem to adapt better. I don't really think it is much of a fertilizer as it is a Plant Growth Regulator.

Seems to help with minimizing shock and rooting.

Speaking from experience, I would say that Superthrive is only good for woody plants. It's too strong for vfts even when dilluted. I can also say that they are really good with cephs and neps.

I've never used it. But I want to explore more because I see mixed responses, which makes everything better. Go on, tell you experiences.
