I just buy a bottle of the stuff used to mix with powder bleach, (to go blonde), from the chemist. This stuff has always worked for me on spear pulled palms, it's cheap too...

Hmmm, not sure if it will work on a Tree Fern to be honest...

[davidjonesUK]

you know anyway of making a tree fern have a better survival rate as i think mynes not looking good

I used some in the crown of a Dicksonia antarctica last year, it fizzed away happily though I could not be sure how much good it did. I bought 35% food grade off Ebay, 1 litre bottle I think.

It's nasty stuff at that strength though, I got a bit on my fingers as the cap wasn't tightly screwed on the bottle, luckily I washed it off quickly; I don't think I'd order it for delivery again.

I used it diluted to about 3%.

well did your Dicksonia antarctica survive hahaha that would prove it

I'd go for the first one, its the cheapest and it will last you ages as its highly concentrated. Just remember to dilute correctly as 6% should do it nicely.

I bought 5 ltr 35% food grade last year, but as has been said at that strength it needs to be treated with respect. 35% will probably take your skin off down to the flesh. I got some on my thumb and it blistered the skin, but you can't feel it.

I store it in the shed as don't want it in the house, and when diluting I pour into a pirex jug then precisely measure using a measured syringe.

Vic I would be careful of 6% on softer plants. I soaked Colocasia mammoth rhizomes in 6% last year and the sprout rate was much lower than those that I didn't soak. I'm currently using 3% max

It just about scraped through, throwing up one single frond in mid summer - and I mean 'up', it went straight up vertically and stayed that way for weeks. It looked ridiculous . Eventually a couple of more small fronds came out as well.

I'm hoping it will have somehow survived again this year, but I wouln't put money on it.

Can someone please explain why and how this works........when to useit and on what plants.

[davidjonesUK]

well before i buy it my Dicksonia antarctica in the crown seems like a stickyish slime mixed in with the hair and the other half dry and fine

You can also buy this from the pharmaceutical counter in supermarkets. Last year it cost 99p for a small bottle 6% strength.

Dave, i have only used it in the crowns of my robusta and filifera. But thanks for the warning. I will probably make up a 3% solution and use as a spray to get a better coverage on less damaged areas.

After looking at David jones link, i did not realise how many uses there are for h202. I'm off to run a bath now and have a soak in it

[Tiddy]

I dont know what this does for plants! anyone care to explain?? I always feed my Dicksonia antarctica's with chem-pak high nitrogeon feed and get amazing results.
