Glucose spraying

Post by Pierre »

Hello everyone,
I came across a very interesting article (in french unfortunately) on a french bonsai website.

http://www.parlonsbonsai.com/Utilisation-du-glucose

It is about the usage of pure glucose diluted and used as foliar spray to help severely stressed trees (after collection for example) recover and grow roots quicker....
It also mention this technique being used by some in Japan.... As anyone used this method?
Thanks,
Pierre

Wondering if this will attract ...ants?
Always we hope someone else has the answer.
Bonsai is an art of shrinking.
