DODGY!!!

Sorry, but personally I wouldn't risk using this product on our plants. If you
happen to have a few spare D.Capensis (stupid question) try it out on this
first, but still I wouldn't risk it on anything like Neps or Heliamphora.

BTW, I have had a nice relief from the continual D.Capensis that seems
to be constantly springing up in my pots...Now it's D.intermedia, which
I am not at all cross about, as my parent plant died over winter. It
should provide stock for my outdoor bog. However, can i warn people
that fresh seeds of this species
*WILL* germinate and will overrun anyone with things like U.olivaceae
*(?)... I
advise keeping this species especially away from such plants. I say
especially, because my plants have already killed a few other seedlings
(including D.Capensis!!!!) by smothering them, they have grown so fast.
