Vitamin B-1 and Fungicide for Heliamphora and Drosera Seedlings

Shane's crowded Heliamphora bowl needs vitamin B-1 solution (Lowes doesn't carry). Also needs liquid fungicide for Drosera seedlings; asks brand.

Expert Response: Referral and Fungicide Advice

Christopher: Doesn't grow Heliamphora—suggests Sarracenia Northwest. For fungicide: any sulfur or Neem oil based product works. Avoid soap-based solutions (break down, add nutrients to soil).

Good Growing!
