Superthrive vs. Miracle-Gro for Sundew Leaf Cuttings: Don't Substitute

Weylin asks if Miracle-Gro can replace Superthrive in sundew leaf-cutting propagation (per SNW video).

Absolutely Not

Superthrive speeds rooting but isn't essential.
Clean conditions + fungicide work well.
Even plain distilled water in clear container under bright light roots many sundews.

Never use fertilizer on carnivorous plant propagations.
