Re: Fw: Anthurium seedlings & fungicides

From: Aroideae at aol.com on 2000.04.26 at 21:54:02(4428) hello jay, i spray my anthurium seedlings weekly/weakly. i use 2 tsp. per gallon of Physan (or RD 20). it's also important that you feed them once they've germinated. this seems to keep them healthy. i use 1/2 strength water soluble fertilizer, Watch-us-Grow (8-8-8) making sure to water with plain water in between feedings. hope this helps! lynn +More Howdy All: I was wondering whether the group cud give me their input on what fungicides I shud use on newly-germinated Anthurium seedlings. Have just "hatched" several batches of species on shredded treefern under clear plastic domes. I know, I'm a masochist for not using sphagnum but I wanted to try this material). They all look good so far but the medium requires daily wetting, hence I'm somewhat concerned that sooner or later "damping off" may rear its loathsome visage. Fire at will... Jay P. >>
