Superthrive. Is it all that or is it just snake oil ?? Are there any other substitutes that members have used such as B1 tablets ? |

I used it once but did not see any significant improvement in growth or health in any of my trees over my normal fertilizer, which I have been using over the past 5 years. |

WOW Pineman - all you need now is a soil / substrate mix one and you have the holy trinity of contentious bonsai threads

Superthrive is not a fertiliser. It is a vitamin supplement. No VISIBLE difference to trees. |

Superthrive hovers around the irrational end of the spectrum. I usually give one dose of S when I repot, on the grounds that it contains vitamins, which can't do any harm and quite possibly can do some good. I never see any noticeable 'thriving', but of course I never know what the tree would have done without the stuff. It makes me feel a bit better to do it, and I suppose that's it. J. |

I'm with you, John. I know some bonsai artists use it. If I know it does no harm and it may do good (even if we can't see it) then it's OK with me. |

Liquid seaweed seems to hit the spot on feed spectrums. If you have a hydroponics place nearby go and have a chat with them. There's all sorts similar to s/thrive that's cheaper and often designed to target specific growth requirements - roots, flowers, soft growth or everything. The bloke near me is a gold mine of info on plant nutrition. |

I also use fish emulsion during the growing season but it is not interchangeable with Superthrive. |
