Kitchen Experiments with FloraBlend

GH has 4 greenhouses and several indoor test gardens. But some of the best expiriments can happen right on the kitchen counter. The sales staff has been conducting unoffical tests in the office kitchen. These kinds of tests are easy, simple, and give great results. Cuttings of philodendron were placed in coffee cups. One recieved just spring water, and one was given spring water and FloraBlend.  Below are the photos showing that the addition of FloraBlend is well worth it.  And please, leave comments letting us know about your own homebrew kitchen science!

The cuttings were started Dec. 10th, and were kept near a fairly bright window.

The side by side shot.

Even though philodendrons are notoriously easy rooters, adding the FloraBlend really boosted the roots and decreased the time it would normally take. I have several cuttings that have turned into nice little water plants in a vase on my windowsill, and after seeing this test, I will be adding the FB right away!

I am currently using Floralicious Plus, but how does this differ as far as ingredients?

It has fermented compost, proprietary blend of plant materials, plus seaweed, rock powders and micronized leonardite. Could I ask what else is in it, or is it a company secret?

Hey Red!
So Floralicious Plus is a great product, but comparing it to FloraBlend is a bit like comparing apples and oranges.

Floralicious Plus is a vitamin complex and has “L” amino acids derived from kelp and soy protein. It is a great source of food for beneficial microbes. It feeds microbes, and in that way it indirectly benefits plants, but is also has some direct action for plants.

Floralicious Plus contains raw ingredients, FloraBlend contains raw ingredients that have been digested already. The two compliment each other quite well!
