RE: [Aroid-l] Hydrogen Peroxide

From: "michael mahan" <agavestar at covad.net> on 2007.02.01 at 21:23:01(15192) I've heard of that being used on blubs, tubers,fleshy African succulents (underground types & the above ground desert types ), & water bearing drought type trees, but only after it's rotted & the rot has been cut out , washed, then used peroxide to clean the wound & then cinnamon applied, but never have head of it used as a full pot wash .. willing to try !

I have learned lots about using the cinnamon, thank you all that replied. But I have a related question now: an orchid grower that I met uses hydrogen peroxide on the roots/potting media to kill fungal and bacterial infections when they appear. He says it always works well on his orchids, and they revive quite quickly after one or two treatments, rarely ever needing to be treated again. Anyone ever do this with aroids? I can see using it on the epiphytes, but what about terrestrials? Happy days, Christopher D. Christopher Rogers Invertebrate Ecologist/Taxonomist ((,///////////=====< EcoAnalysts, Inc.
