how much soap and dust do you put to a gallon of water?
seven dust spary
I would follow the directions on the package...and then just a squirt of soap.
Carol
I got rid of my package and it is just in a ziplock bag... thats why I am asking.... =)
ely
OK...I will get the proportions for you...I have one out at the GH.
Is your last name Ely? I ask, because it is my husband's name, too!
That is for elephant ears... my last name is Cooper..... How COOL I am so jelous.
ely...the back of my back of Sevin has a mess of proportions 'per 100 ft." Best you go to their website or find a bag of it to get the ratios again! They range from .2 somethings to 1.0.....
And, you can, just hit em with the poweder.
Gee...someone on another thread gave me the ratios....was it Brugie? (she always has good advice so I am just guessing...or maybe Judy, or....? Help!!!)
I always use a tablespoon or two per gallon of water. I don't think it is going to hurt your plants when it is safe to sprinkle the powder straight on the leaves. Just a little squirt of liquid dish soap or sticker made for plants.
well I did search the fourms before asking, and couldn't find anything. but thanks for the information...
ely
elyearcrazy, the search function does not include "titles" of threads unfortunately so it does present problems if the information is not repeated in the thead.
Any information Brugie gives you, you can bank on, as the saying goes.
Judy
oh thanks brugie and judy, I will fix some right up.

Mine is the Giant Upright Elephant Ear, but I'm going to the site to see the others. Do you winter yours outside?? I do and have had good luck...
I got hit by the hurricane and lost almost everthing that wasn't hardy. the colocasia I didn't loose but the alocasias were gone... =( They will be more fun finding thought =)
