Hello foussi,

surperthrive contains NES = Naphtylessigsäure or NAA naphtalene-acetic-acid as the main active compound.
NES promotes root formation in low concentrations and is therefore often used by banana fans, but also other for stimulating growth.
One can only speculate about the mechanism of action; There could be a better growth by promoting the Wurzelwachstunms.

NES is probably not suitable for the Fördrung of shooting sleeping eyes.
For substances / growth regulators would rather from the class of Cytokinin (not cytokine!), which promote the shoots of sleeping eyes in certain concentrations.
An example of this is the Keiki paste that apply Orchdeenliebhaber to make sleeping eyes on flowering shoots of Phalaenopsis for example when shooting.

By your Alocasia with superthrive you can save probably the spraying friends; Keiki paste would be likely, but you have to try this out...

As konjac I don't know responds to superthrive.

Happy growing, Bernhard.

Hello Foussi,

No, in hardware stores, you can get so something certainly not - google times according to Keiki paste, then you will find Orchideenshops /-dealers who offer Keiki paste...

Happy growing, Bernhard.

Hello
Supertrive has been a big issue in the early years of the then large number of banana freaks as Bernhard writes. I had even 70-80 different banana varieties,
Since I've handled also with Superthrive. A real difference to other fertilizers I could not determine. In the meantime, I save me money and fertilize with horse manure and blue. Sufficient to bananas and bananenänlichem.

Back to the topic of your Alocasia to shoots of the eyes to move: you can share Alocaisa-"Tribes", already from small pieces of root, you can win new Alocasias. Goes well with Colocasiaknollen can you into quarters, then 4 plants can be drawn from a corm.

Greetings
Andreas
