Does this product work on jade plants? My big jade appears to have what is known as "scale."

Once the active insects encase themselves, that is the "scale" and must be removed by hand using a cotton-tipped applicator dipped in 70% rubbing (isopropyl) alcohol. I have a Meyer lemon that I let the scale get out of hand and spent hours removing them - well worth it, tree recovered well. But a soil application would help with this, as well as a spray on the non-scaled active insects. You will know that you have them from all of the webbing that occurs, usually around the base of the plant. I'm planning on purchasing this product (and a spray) to see if I can keep abreast of these nasty little critters.

These will work with orchids. Much like broken clay pots and broken bricks these retain aeration while also retaining moisture. Phalaenopsis, dendrobiums and Cattleyas benefit from having clay rocks added to their potting media. The lithophytes might flourish with mostly clay rocks (the dark red color does get quite warm in sunlight, perhaps too warm)

This can be used to treat scales on crepe myrtles. We recommend treating a small test area prior to widespread application.

Hi Frank, I'm afraid I don't know. I was recommended this Bayer product for Juniper mite and Juniper scale insect and it works really well for those, better than any English product I have used. Best wishes, Sally.

I bought it and never used it because it was for my orchid plants and I was afraid it would be to strong for them. I got something similar and am going to try it.

You might want to contact the company directly. They are great getting back in answers and any help you need. Fast, also. I have had my plants since May and they are doing great and getting bigger.

I have been successful with this. I applied to suckers over a year ago and they have not come back. It is the only thing that has worked for me. I used it on a flowering pear tree. Now this year I have had new suckers start and again I just applied and they are dead.

Hi, I have used this on all sizes of leaves with no problem. Just be sure to feed larger leaves slower so they don't jam up!! Really works great

Yes, I had good luck with this. You have to be aware of the product's limitations. The granules expand to many times their original volume when exposed to water. One method that worked for me was to take a big screwdriver and use it to bore a narrow, cone-shaped hole into the dirt, as far as possible from the plant itself. Then I dropped some of the dry crystals down the hole, stopping an inch or two below the soil's surface. I then covered the rest of the hole and repeated the process two more times per pot I probably used too many crystals, as a few worked their way to the surface. No worries--the plants did well.

I didn't have any luck with this plant. I did a straight forward trans-plant and it seemed to be doing well for about a few months and started loosing leaves and eventually died. Turned brown and never recovered.

I have used it on silver with turquoise stones. I am not sure about jade but I would think the blue side would shine it. I will say though if you have silver jewelry jewerly this is the best cleaning cloth and the best price I have found and I plan to buy another soon as you would not believe the black that comes off when I use it,

Yes, it is the plant and very small. I couldn't believe how much it had grown. It's been several years since I purchased it, and we have had numerous offshoots from it...Right now we have two large plants from the original one we purchased in pots that are about 18" in diameter.

I had the same question and actually called Bayer. They couldn't answer either. I have a potted gardenia that I started from a cutting; it attracts scale like crazy especially over the winter. I ended up diluting the Bayer's by 50% and trying that. It didn't do any damage at least right away that I could see. Loved what it did on my garden plants - great on my roses and phlox here in the Mid-Atlantic region after a mild winter (when every disease and pest comes back with a vengeance.) Reordered it right away when it went on sale at the end of the season.

I'm using Flourish (twice a week) and Flourish Excel (daily) with great results. My plants have never looked/grown better. If you're not satisfied with Flourish Excel alone then try adding other options until you get the results you want.

I honestly can't say, because I unfortunately STILL don't have a fern!! I do have one of those plants that vine out all over the place, had a china doll, a peace lilly, a Thai money tree, and several other shade loving houseplants; my china doll totally died when I ran out of Miracle Grow & tried something else, & everything else I have gets an obvious boost every time I add Miracle grow to the water when feeding them. Hope that helps?

Hello Myrna, I answer all questions with complete honesty based on my experience with a product. I do not believe that this product would work with any plant. We had fungus gnats in and around our houseplants. This product did nothing. Sadly, after trying so many products (at great cost) we had to get rid of all of our plants (many of them were over ten years old).

This company makes plant-specific fertilizers, I would check into them first. I use this on Palms and Cactus with great results.
