Insecticides

Wesley

God must have an interesting sense of humor
Has anyone ever tried this insecticide? I saw some at lowes and I wandered if it was safe. Insecticide
 
On a website I found someone highly recommending Ortho Systemic Insect Killer for nepenthes (and maybe other CPs, I don't remember). They used it safely on a large number of plants. I've also used it with no apparent ill effects. And I just like systemic stuff... I feel like they have nowhere to hide.

Yea, that's what I've got right now. I really like it, but my family has been into the organic-no-pollutant-healthy thing lately and I was just wondering how effective this stuff is. I guess I could buy a vft or something really cheap and get it infected and see if it works. I guess that is about the only way to find out.
 
I use Orthene, I don't think it's sold anymore. Gotta dilute that stuff, or it'll kill the bugs and the cp

ill look when i go home for lunch as i forget the name of it but i have used one made from chrysanthumum flowers that worked good on Nepenthes and Orchids with no ill effects.
