maxsea

I've looked through old threads about Maxsea but I haven't found info about the specific concentrations that prevent dead LFS from breaking down... I used to use 2 tsps per gallon but my sphagnum broke down quickly even when I flushed the pots a few hours after. I know I was probably using too...

This started growing out in my Nepenthes ventricosa pot after I repotted about 6 months ago. The N. ventricosa has not been doing well at all (though all my other plants are doing fine), so I wondered if it was possible that the moss was somehow responsible for the nep's continued decline? This...

Anyone have an online source for MaxSea (16-16-16) Fertilizer? My local supplier closed shop.

Hi, Here is a brief record of my N. edwardsiana from arrival May to now. My camera does not really do macro so photos not as good as I would like. Arrival May 2010 August 2010 Today!! I have just starting giving it the Maxsea treatment for a month now. cheers bill

Hello everyone. Before you start reading, I just want to clear up some stuff- 1. Yes, I am turning 12 years old. 2. Yes, I have only been growing plants since January. 3. No, I am not an insane Nepenthes murderer for trying this experiment when I'm a novice grower. I am trying to do an...

Does anyone have any experience using Maxsea fertilizer on their VFT's. If you have used it what is your opinion ?

Dionaea Dentate, Dente, and Dentate Traps, are ALL the same. When a plant from a Red Piranha (example) has germinated, even if it looks Identical to the mother. It is NOT a Red Piranha. Just because a leaf is turning black means nothing, it is part of the natural growth cycle for the Dionaea. If...

I was wondering how everybody's plants are coming along and I wanted to say howdy to all the forum members as a new member. I took some pictures after class today so maybe we all can compare how our plants are doing? I grow them outside literally right next to my tomato patch. So far it's been...

I'd like to know from those of you who use Maxsea, what sort of results you are getting and what plants it's visibly successful on?

I was out on a walk today, and discovered that a hydroponics store had opened near where I live, and discovered to my joy that they carry Maxsea 16-16-16, which a lot of people seem to be investigating for the purpose of fertilizing their neps. Now, I have a small nep, so I picked a jug of the...

To all who fertilize neps via pitcher, what fertilizer do you use? 20-14-13 Better-Gro Orchid Plus at quarter strength worked well in the soil (minus the algae problem it caused regardless of how much I flushed), but putting the fertilizer into the pitchers, while the results were fantastic...

I know it needs to be 1/4 strength, but what I have is a Maxsea sample packet that's 1/2 ouce with no instructions, so I don't know what 1/4 strength is. Should I use 1 tsp or 1 tbsp per gallon for Neps, or what?

I would like to try my hand at producing some Nepenthes seed, and I was wondering if I could get a confirmation on this Izumiae x Truncata. I used to cut all my flower stalks off because I didn't have the space/time for seeds, but now I wish to give it a shot. If this is in fact female, I should...

MODERATOR NOTE: ive never heard of this issue with max sea before everyone ive seen who has used it, had great results. maybe your using it in too high of a concentration? and i wouldnt entirely blame max sea on this, maybe your conditions arent the best for these highlanders?

For some reason this guy isn't growing. When it finally does make a leaf, the tendril dies after a couple days. I've grown this for about 2 months now. It's in a mix of 1:1:1 LFS, Perlite, Coral. I water it so that it is always moist. It's in one of my lowland tanks next to a very healthy...

I think I'm going to give Terracycle another shot. I stopped using it because I thought it was rip off when it comes to price, but now I'm going to play with it again since I'm downsizing anyway and it has less crap in it than what I already use. Maybe it won't burn one of my plants, is what I'm...

Based on what I've read on a few forums, I went ahead and ordered some Maxsea 16-16-16 seaweed fertilizer. I know that everyone has their preferred fertilizers and methods for applying them, but I'd like to hear specifically from those that use this particular brew as to how you use it. I have...

Some pics of my izumae x truncata It's starting to settle in well and is growing fast. The leaves are a lot smaller than when I received the plant. It's growing in vermiculite, pearlite, shultz orchid mix, and a small amount of lfs to hold moisture. I have been fertilizing for 3 months with...
