The Daily Grateful with Michael Crose
The SUPERTHRIVE Deep Dive
Michael Crose digs into Superthrive, the cult-favorite plant vitamin solution he's used and loved since the 1980s. He shares the story of meeting its inventor, the mysterious Dr. John A. Thompson, on his old radio show, and recalls handing out sample bottles to his horticulture students. From reviving a famous transplanted oak tree in Clearwater to rescuing cold-damaged palms after Florida freezes, boosting orchids, houseplants, and grass plugs, Michael walks through decades of real-world results. He also compares the original formula's "50 vitamins and minerals" claim to today's more vague labeling, questioning what's changed — and promises to track down the company for answers. A nostalgic, candid, and slightly rambling love letter to a garden staple.
