No need to keep in the shade. I have plants in full sun and water as usual.

So it works like this use the hormone, you can plant in direct sunlight. Keep dirt moist for about ten days. The plant should have rooted by then. Mist about every Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Do not make it wet but damp.

You feed it distilled water if kept indoors and if placed outdoors it can have only rain water and must be kept moist so if a dry spell then you would use distilled water. No tap water!!! The plant will catch its own bugs if kept outdoors.

Rooting hormone should only be used for hard to root types of plants. Cactus dont need rooting hormone.

Works well on both. Use it before you get disease! I would use a weak foliar spray, and also use 1 teaspoon / gallon as a transplant drench. Then repeat about every 3 weeks or so. More often is humidity is high (over 60% RH during the hot part of the day) Do NOT use the foliar spray in hot dry weather!

It is recommended to use this product in springtime when the tree leaves are emerging. That is when the insecticide has the greatest flow from the tree roots upward. I used it late summer in hope that there was still some capillary action to draw this drench into the tree.Use it once a year. I recommend boring 1 inch to 2 inch holes into the dirt near the base of the tree to contain the run-off and serve the root system more quickly.

Hood afternoon, I always buy it when I go away for more then a week. You need to place into the pot and just follow the instructions. Work very well. When I come back all of my flowers are well fed. I usually let the dry water to finish itself and I water less. But you can remove it if you wish to manually water your plants. It is a good product.

I have the same situation with a flower garden surrounding my patio and have used the product for several years running with no harm done whatsoever! I believe the company addresses this very issue on their website. I just love this product and I know you will too!!! That being said, I wait until the garden needs watering and then I use the product exactly as directed. After I'm through I do water the garden to dilute the product but I really don't think it's necessary.

You have to keep the plants away from direct sunlight! Then just spray a mist of water on them once a week, they will do fine!

Keep it in the soil it came in for one! They are picky plants, so I am finding (the venus fly trap and sundew, the pitcher plant seems hardier). Anyway, if you do need soil only use peetmoss and perlite, with no fertilizers it will kill them. Also, rain water or distilled water. They like lots of sun. My plants were doing awesome and they started growing out of the terrarium, so I got a bigger terrarium and the move I think killed the sundew plants, my vft are not doing as well, but the pitcher plants are doing awesome! I hope it gets better :)

You do not use it with water. Dip the cut end of what you want to root. You only need to wet the cut end. After you dip it into the hormone powder shake off excess and put directly into dirt.

As long as the roots are always in water, it will be fine. Change the water weekly and keep out of direct sunlight.

Depends on your zone. Check the plants zone and your zone in udsa website. But I would assume that you wouldn't have any issue in any climate if you left it in a pot and only placed it outside during the sumner. Remember no direct sun light or at the least very little.

no! use distilled water or rain water only, 2ndly dont buy it online buy it from a local nursery, dew plants are very hard to keep alive the first year.

i have several plants with pots between 6 to 15 inches. In smaller ones, I put one in small pots, and two stakes in larger pots. I had bought it very early before the vacation, so i can test how it will work - i have over 15 large plants, some of them 25 yrs old.. (inheritance from a friend) wanted to make sure they are not taken care while i was away.... I grouped the plants, used a water container shared by 3 or 4 pots. The water container needs to positioned correctly, otherwise they just pull too much water too fast. read the instructions come with, keep experimenting.. happy flowering..

You can set the frequency and duration of the watering cycle. For the larger plants you would place more watering lines to than the medium sized one. I would suggest doing an experimental run first and make adjustments accordingly before you actually need to be gone for 10 days. Also keep in mind humidity and temperature in the area where the plants are being kept because these can affect the water usage.

Not all the time. Air plants do require a good soak 3-4 times a week depending on how dry your house is and a misting every day. But no, don't place them in water at all times other wise they'll rot. The general rule of thumb is to make sure they're dry after misting or soaking in four hours time.

I turn on soaker hoses for about 6 hours at a time. For young trees, I'd never let the ground dry out. For established trees about once a month through the summer. I use very heavy mulching over the soaker hoses, so I can get away with watering my veggies once a week as needed. Getting seeds started you can't worry about water conservation. They need to be moist.
