Re: saved from jusco
 

is it 'deadly' if we use mineral water?
now i confuse..
because in other forum, they said we must use bottled water or rain water to watering the VFT..
bottled water and mineral water, is it the same, or not?*biggrin2*
jusco?
is every jusco have VFT?
if they have, im sure this night i'll go to buy one!

Re: saved from jusco
 

1）bottle water is safe to use if it is prepare through reverse osmosis, do not use mineral water, example of mineral water is cactus, just read the content diagram, if you lazy, find bottle water with reverse osmosis sign

tape water is depends, according to previous thread, different state having different PPM concentration, so you have to test before using them for your cp, it is advisable for tape water user to leave it for overnight so that some mineral like chlorine will be able to remove from the water....

and not every jusco have VFT....it depends....

Re: saved from jusco
 

TDS value at my house is 50ppm.

i have use it for my tiny drosera and it seem to be find so far.but must w8 longer.

i hope my tap water is Ok so i dont need to buy bottled RO water.bottles everywhere at my porch.


if u go to jusco midvalley,most of the time u will see potted VFT but in bad conditions sometimes.cost RM25 each pot.

Re: saved from jusco
 

RM25?
a little expensive for me..:thumbdown:
how much you buy the TDS meter?
can i find it at mudah.my?*biggrin2*

Re: saved from jusco
 

i heard that VFT doesn't need any fertilizer whatsoever in any condition..
is it really true?

Re: saved from jusco
 

yes RM25 is kinda expensive.but once u get used,its cheap.

ok TDS i buy at China from ebay.RM50.

VFTs will DIE if fertilizer is appliead at its growing media especially.

Re: saved from jusco
 

what?
so if i started from seed, using fertilizer also fatal to it?:spinning:

Re: saved from jusco
 

Actually, you can apply liquid fertilizer to CP, included VFT. But, please make sure water portion is 10 or 20 times more then recommended.

Please try at yours own risk ya... :smile:

Re: saved from jusco
 

err...portion?more then recommended?
err..i don't understand actually..:confused:

Re: saved from jusco
 

example...if the recommendation written on packet is one teaspoon of it to mix with 100 ml of water...instead of following that, go for 1000 ml or more...the whole story is about to lessen the strength of fertilizer as cp can't stand strong fert...

Re: saved from jusco
 

oh...
i put some fertilizer on the media and my seeds grew quite fast..
now it have leaves but still not come out from the seed yet..

Re: saved from jusco
 

The roots came out yet? You have to be careful with the fertelizer:spinning:

Re: saved from jusco
 

what can i tell you is,
MY PLANTS IS NOT VFTs!
so i just wanna throw them in my dustbin!:mad:
