I know this has been addressed on this forum before, and I looked through some old threads but can't find it. So bear with me, please. For those of you that use a regimen of Eleanors and Super Thrive, how do you use it? The Eleanor's says not to use it in conjunction with other plant food products. But I THINK I remember that some of you use both. Could you share your plant fertilization/care program with me? On the same day that my Eleanor's arrived in the mail, I had found Super Thrive at Walmart. So I've got both and want to use them, but don't want to burn my plants!! Thanks! Karen
Question on hoya care
Me too...I want to know.
I am through with Messenger. Not at all thrilled with it.
I use ST all year now. In spring (which around here is next month), I start adding some fertilizer also. I vary the kinds. Every other time I use Shultz "Plant Food Plus" 10-15-10. As the weather warms, I start alternating that with "Bloom" kinds (right now I have Peters) with a very high middle number (50).
The Eleanors I use in a spray bottle & spray it on the leaves 3 or 4 times a week (I used to do it every morning, but decided that was a bit much). I use that all through the spring & summer months.

Karen,
I use superthrive on my new cuttings, or plants that I have divided. Other than that I rarely use it. And I use it every watering until I can see a difference in the plant.
Eleanors I mostly just use in a spray bottle, and I use it alot, and sometimes I spray 3 or 4 times a day. Doesn't seem to bother it. I have only had my Eleanor's for about 6 months or so. Seems to be helping. I sprayed with it during the winter, but used no other fertilizer at all.
It's getting about time to put some heavy blooming fertilizer in your plants, I already did a couple of weeks ago, but my hoya's grow all winter long. Carol posted something about it not to long ago. I use Schultz 10-60-10 during the summer every other watering and spray 3 or 4 times a day with the Eleanors.
Everybody does it different, but I don't think that Eleanors will burn your plants. HTH.
