Superthrive!

[LeQue]

Here is a questionable product I would like to share.
Superthrive is a small bottle found in many department stores' garden section. But what exactly is it? According to the labelling it is "#1 Activator, Reviver, Trans/planter, Extra Grower and Perfecter" ... "Vitamins and Hormones", but no ingredient list anywhere... I wonder why?

Here is a picture of the front label, from their website.

"50 in one"
"#1 Plant Health Extra Life"
"Greatest Gaurantee-offer PROOF ever!"
"Dozens of the world's science miracles in each drop!"
and on the back....
"World's #1 Top Plant Supply"
"Billions-Proven Extra Life Maker"
"Unchallenged guarantees. Proven best. 5 ways, on every continent by millions of people on billions of plants"

Their official website is quite bare and offers no documentation or proof of any claims they make.

#1 Perfecter? Extra Life Maker? ??? lol :cheesy:

What does "greatest guarantee-offer proof ever" mean? ???

It is most likely dehydrated dihydrogen oxide. But more expensive than the stuff you can make yourself.

"seems to be an american version of babybio"

Could be similar but I can't find anything linking the two companies. Glad to see your continent gets the benefit of brown mystery liquid also O0

But it says "non-fertilizer". Baby-bio is plant food. It is just expensive water.

Maybe so, I cannot compare ingredients. Just saying its marketed at plants like babybio.

Median,

Stupid question coming up. Can you explain to me what a plant growth hormone does that is different from what a standard plant fertiliser does?

Might help explain why my winter pansies don't seem to be doing too well.:-[

It's just like in animals; the hormones act as messengers controlling growth, cell division, etc and the fertiliser provides the nutrients.

It comes from the Peckham Spring no doubt and is bottled from source in Nelson Mandela House ;D
