I too have lots of cannas so yea I put the copper into an end sprayer, over and under leaves and drench the ground...it's cheap as well I think it was around $5.00 or so for the bottle (? 3 tablespoons per gallon or something?) The H.P. I also used in the end sprayer for cannas 1/2 N 1/2 but that was tricky in the dark all I could hear was noise when I hit the leaves and the gurrgle of when the container was empty.
No I don't use a sticker, but a few drops of dish detergent works fine as a sticker, I find oil has a tendency to fry things and stop the leaves from breathing.
There again the later in the day you use these things... sticker, oil and soap the better.
I use the dish detergent method at night on my snail vines when they get aphids.
The soapy water stays wetter longer and there is no burn, if I want I can always rinse early in the morning.
Hope this helps :-)
