I have to admit, we have never tried this product on cacti and succulents. Several people who bought our Cactus Juice fertilizer reported extremely good results with this product.
It is made my Grow More. Grow More products are very good products. But when we saw it was pushing its high calcium content as a big benefit, I have to admit, we were a bit skeptical because of our soils. Our soils in the Mojave Desert are FILLED with calcium. They are more than filled. They are LOADED! So why add calcium?
Golf course superintendents have added calcium to sand-based greens and tees for many years and saw results. Sand typcially does not supply nutrients. They are nearly inert. So it makes sense that grasses growing on sand greens might run out of calcium during warm and hot weather particularly when leaf clippings are removed and not recycled back into the soil. Greens and tees are bagged and the clippings taken off these surfaces to improve play for golfers.
Corky spot in Keifer pear. |
This disorder is called bitter pit in apples and corky spot in pears. The same disorder is given different names because of the crop. The remedy? Spraying calcium liquid fertilizers on the fruit and leaves during fruit development.
It does not really surprise us that Cactus Juice fertilizer works but we had to wait and hear from you first.
Yes, it works and it is a very good product with solid reviews by growers here in the Mojave Desert.
By the way, we checked the price of it for Amazon Prime members. We compare VERY favorably.
