I wish you the best in getting back into the AV's. Life isn't the same with them not around. I went 4 years without them and it was the pits! LOL Pat...

I have been using half perlite and half veermiculite for several years and have no problem with it. My plants are husky and thriving. Have used various...
... I found some definitions online. "Hydroponics is crop production with mineral nutrient solutions instead of soil containing silt and clay." "Most...
My understanding is that using only perlite and vermiculite doesn't cause a problem with PH. There is no soil involved. No rotting or deteriotion. The constant...

Hi Julie, Perhaps what you remember was a couple of articles on foliar feeding that appeared in the African Violet Magazine in 1998. These articles were...
Yes, that was the one. As a scientist I don't like to believe anything without seeing the data, so I found the articles interesting. Needless to say I don't...
Curious, wondering if Jeff Smith and Leta Moser also did tissue analysis. Evidentally the more serious hydroponic growers do periodic tissue analysis to see...

I found a logistical reason to not solely depend on foliar feeding.....when a plant grown for exhibition comes into bloom, given the bloom distribution, it can...
Janet, I've given away my older magazines so I can't research that article. Was there anything else different about the two sets of test plants other than...
