I have been doing an experiment with Beer fertilizer. I stumbled across the recipe over in the Hoya forum while looking for info on how to perk up my hoyas.Well believe it or not I 1st fertilized my hoyas only 3 weeks ago and already have new growth on them.For November that is unheard of around here!! Anyway I thought I would try it on one of my Blue AV noids last week and below is the result.The foliage and blooms are outstanding! I also used it on a few episcias and they are getting loads of new growth. I might get brave enough to try it on some duplicate named av's I have and see how it does.I guess if it kills them at least I can say they died happy : )
