It all began with the MSU fertilizer: Many of you guys have had good results with urea firtilizers. And I did not with my MSU that I tested for two years. The previous fertilizer from a local orchid nursery was much better actually. Root growth was ok, but no new growths and yellowish colour of the leaves.
So I was looking for a new fertilizer. I like eggshells plants and I asked him some months ago what he is using. Fertilizer with high urea. And Xavier also mentioned that urea fertilizers are great. And I know some german breeders who use urea fertilizers too with urea only as N source.
After some research and browsing through hundreds of fertilizers from cannabis over bonsai to citrus fertilizers i found Vertofol Royal. This is a lawn fertilizer 14+4+4 with urea only as N source.
Some months of testing and I finally got the results I wanted to see. New growths everywhere and a very nice dark green color. I was not sure if it was just pure imagination, so I made pictures of some plants I bought half a year ago from a nursery who uses a fertilizer without urea. So here you go. Believe it or not, this is not Photoshop!
And there are new growths everywhere:drool:
adductum:
philippinense:
gigantifolium:
sanderianum.
rothschildianum:
anitum:
ooii:
roth x gig
So if someone is not satisfied with his fertilizer: go for it and buy one with urea!
