A.J. Hicks, astutely avoiding politics querried:
"I can't get Physan 20 (except by mail order only). I CAN get
Consan 20 for some bizarre reason. I know they're almost the same (there's
a bit of difference in the quats that make them up), but can anyone comment
from experience as to any untoward effects of Consan *specifically* on
their orchids before I use it and kill all my infinitely valuable tiny
orchids?"
I have always found Physan, Consan and all the other "quats" to be equally
effective in trashing my miniatures. I must admit that before I use any of
these
compounds on my minis, which I grow indoors in an Orchidarium clone that cost
a small fraction of what a real Orchidarium would cost, they must be at
death's
door. I actually do not think that they do any harm when applied as directed
and if the temperature is not too high.
Sincerely,
Marquis Hodes
