I have HB-101 but old and I tried putting drops in pitchers before but no big improvement. It was not a sceintific experiment and it was on a Ventrata only.

Would be nice to hear from others who have tried.

TTFN

I think you should mix with water and water to the whole plant. Actually It is vitamin B1 root homone.

HB-101 was marketed as "Plant Vitalizer".... I got mine in a ready to use spray bottle form. After using a few bottles, I can honestly say I don't see any big improvement or bad side effect by using HB-101. So, it's not really doing anything for my neps.

I've been using it mainly for my non-CP plants, namely roses, begonias and tills, I dare not spray on any of my Neps or Sarras due to Ken's abovesaid possibilities of negative effects. Exception is my cephs, which I just tried yesterday. So far no response yet

thanks, everyone, for the words of caution - i think i'd better use it on non-CPs only.
