aaaaah....you're one of the fortunate ones who has the weather that permits it all. Canada is extreme both in summer and winter.
I didn't read through the entire thread so I am sorry if someone has asked or tried this already.
Has anyone tried this on a recently established rooted cutting? Or perhaps even an unrooted cutting.
How about one that has rooted and has new growth? I have a a vent x (lowii x vent) that has two new leaves and has rooted. I was thinking of trying coffee on it if it were safe to try to give it a kick start. Still too early you think?
wow BigB! I really need to bug someone to make some coffee with DISTILLED water. Perhaps thats why my sphagnum died.
Hmm...perhaps it has to do it with the fact I bought that black coffee at Tim hortons? They use regular tap water for brewing coffee. As some of the water evaporates, the conductivity and level of ions in the water would be far higher than normal? Either way, I might have to get into the habit of coffee and then, I should serve my botanical pets some brewed and distilled coffee. But until then, I'm still a bit wary about trying it again.
