Hydrogen Peroxide

From: "D. Christopher Rogers" <crogers at ecoanalysts.com> on 2007.01.31 at 17:52:58(15188) Hiyer! I have learned lots about using the cinnamon, thank you all that replied. But I have a related question now: an orchid grower that I met uses hydrogen peroxide on the roots/potting media to kill fungal and bacterial infections when they appear. He says it always works well on his orchids, and they revive quite quickly after one or two treatments, rarely ever needing to be treated again. Anyone ever do this with aroids? I can see using it on the epiphytes, but what about terrestrials? Happy days, Christopher +More D. Christopher Rogers Invertebrate Ecologist/Taxonomist ((,///////////=====< EcoAnalysts, Inc.

From: ronmchatton at aol.com on 2007.02.01 at 23:56:35(15199) This is a common use for peroxide in many, many potted plant crops. In its most expensive form its marketed under the trade name Zerotol but its simply 35% hydrogen peroxide with some proprietary stabilizing agents. It works if you keep up with it as there is no residual activity.

At that concentration (the disinfectant/bleach solutions in stores are typically about 3%, I think) hydrogen peroxide is a very strong oxidizer which can damage skin, clothing, etc., and especially eyes. -- Steve Marak +More -- samarak@gizmoworks.com _______________________________________________ Aroid-l mailing list Aroid-l@gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l

From: "Susan Cox" <snalice at dslextreme.com> on 2007.02.02 at 20:34:17(15206) Steve, YES, I would think it will be diluted down for any use but perhaps for something you want to disappear. The percentage for plant use has been in some cases (on plant tissue) 3 percent and under peroxide mix. For the purpose of fungus prevention it might be stronger, but someone else might let you know a mix for that use. It's important for everyone to know that 35% peroxide is DANGEROUS at that concentrate. Someone correct me if I'm wrong about this when it comes to fungus. If one is very particuilar about what goes on their plants, there is a 'food' grade 35% peroxide available also. Not sure it matters though. +More _______________________________________________ Aroid-l mailing list Aroid-l@gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l
