can anyone tell me if there is a alternative i can use instead of superthrive that i can get from a garden center or D.I.Y store.
I repotted my serrisa and she is showing signs of decline, i.e leaves turning yellow and shriveling up, she looks very unhappy  |

Is HB- 101 a tonic or fertilizer, never heard of it.
