Has anyone had ill affects from using 'leafshine' spray products on their bonsai? We have hard-water here and I was wondering if you use this every so often to clean off the calcium deposits, does this hurt the plant in the long run? I know this is not good for 'hairy-leaved or fleshy plants but would this hurt a yaupon holly or boxwood? Thanks, Rob __________________ Bonsai Apprentice

I had no ill effects at all. Regards, Matt __________________ Want to be a seller on bonsaiAUCTIONS? Get authorized today! bonsaiTALK: Over 100,005.36 Megabytes Served this Month!

I was just worried because after I sprayed the leaves it had such a strong chemical smell...I thought, I finally did the poor thing in!!! __________________ Bonsai Apprentice
