I have a top dressing on all my cactus plants. Will I have to remove the rocks before applying or does it dissolve quickly upon watering?

I have used this orchids that get watered more frequently than cactus. It does not seem to completely dissolve in one or 2 waterings. I do seem to have results that last longer than the crumbles are evident on the surface. I hope this helps.

I would think it would work to just sprinkle the granules over the rocks. When you water, the granules would slowly dissipate over time sinking down into the roots. That's just MY opinion.

You would have to remove the rocks, mix it into the first 1/2 - 1 inch of topsoil and then replace your rocks. The directions say to mix it in. You could try it without removing it and you might get the results you are looking for but I have too many plants to mess with to maybe get something to work.

Not reusuable. Cut a slit in the plastic and open it a little so the gel is a little exposed and then you will place the gel side (where you cut the slit) on top of the dirt for the plant. The gel will dissovle after a few weeks and you will be left with the plastic and a little bit of crust where the gel didn't totally dissolve. 1 time use only.

I dilute in bucket and apply to the base avoiding leaves. I do water a little afterwards cause some are too concentrated and could burn your plant.

You have to mix this product first. It can be harmful to some plants at too high of a concentration.

You mix it with water before spraying. Please see the instruction. After applying it to ant mounds, do not spray water on them again. Hope this would help.

I have used it very successfully with Christmas cactus. It is my understanding that the minerals needed for rooting are the same for all plants.

My wife has flower and shrub gardens all over the yard. They had moss in them just like the lawn did. I sprayed it all and nothing was harmed except the moss. I found out that it will stain white stones though. Good luck.

I use it primarily as part of my soil mix for my bonsai pots. Although rinsing in water is not necessary, I do it anyway as it looks better. Anyway, I add to the soil mix the grit I like as well as other elements, like turface, decomposed granite, etc.

yes. you should mix the crystals in the soil, not just pour it on top. also be aware it expands a lot when watered. try taking half a teaspoon and put in a bowl and add water and see how much volume it adds, and take that into account when adding dry crystals to the soil...

It is just watered down Muriatic acid.($2.99 at any home center) Just pour it on or best is acid proof pump sprayer, let it sit for a few minutes and the acid microscopically etches the stone. You then neutralize it with baking soda or purchase their overpriced neutralizer.

It would probably wash away if you just spread it on top. You might be able to work it in around the plants with a hand cultivator though.

It's not water soluble. It's sort of like the consistency of sand. I use it on my potted palms by spreading the recomended amount around the outer perimeter of the pot - not near the plant - and it works well.

I used the product dry. I lightly sprayed the base of saguaro arm with waterAnd then lightly sprinkled the Bonide on. Then placed it in my potting material Most people claim there is less than 50/50 to restart a saguaro Mine bloomed this year and us growing great. Good luck !

No, they are very pliable & would dissolve. Even when water touches them they begin to do that. I hope you are not trying to do something harmful to something unable to protect itself. If so, try it on yourself first.

We followed the instructions and practically we forgot about them. I believe they dissolve with watering and with the rain. We did it last 2013 fall, so we have not seen anything different yet. I just bought another box.

It truly depends on the grow material you plan on using. If your starters are in Rockwell cubes then no water in resevoir. To me it's only used with water if your starters are already rooted, then I would fill it just over the air stones, make sure the stones are covered well and check level daily. Hope this helps, check me out on u tube I teach on there everything u will ever need to know about growing. My channel is mrbigdwc73, hope this helps

The answer is yes it will dissolve easily if you stir it. I have never had a piercing but as with any wound care I would only use tap water after it has been boiled. Also keep in mind salt is used by certain tribes to make raised scars after cutting designs in the skin. So it might cause keritosis if it is strong enough.But the product is excellent and I highly reccomend it.
