 |

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  |

| There seems to be more about these days but in case of difficulty order on line here http://www.kaizenbonsai.com/shop/index.php Graham also sells Rootsafe, frit and various other tonics. |
