Question
Hello my name is Shane and i been using 7 oz with 2 caps of hydrogen peroxide for my fungicide. i just want to know that if this is safe to use. i didn't had any problems with it so far. i been using this ingredients for few months.

Answer
Hi Shane,

As long as it isn't too strong this is probably fine.  I know an orchid grower that used to water his plants with a concentration close to this, as it has on oxygenation effect on the soil.  Just watch for any signs of leaf damage and back off if you see problems.  What are you treating with the solution?

Good Growing!
