Description
Gets a root system moving before the plant has to carry a canopy
Terra Aquatica Root Booster is a rooting additive for cuttings, seedlings and freshly potted plants. It combines vitamins, amino acids and trace elements to push out fine feeder roots early, which is the part of the root system that actually does the feeding.
Key Benefits
- Fine root mass, not just length - feeder roots are what take up water and nutrients
- Faster establishment after potting on - less standing still in the week after a transplant
- Suits propagation - gentle enough for cuttings that have no roots at all yet
- Works in every medium - rockwool, coco, soil and clay pebbles
- Pairs with a biostimulant - use alongside Seaweed at transplant for a stronger start
Weak roots that never fill the pot
A plant with a shallow root system can be fed perfectly and still underperform, because it cannot take up what it is offered. Slow rooting also drags out the whole cycle - a week lost in propagation is a week lost at harvest. Transplant shock and weak roots are the two problems this addresses.
How to Use
- Cuttings and first roots: 5 ml per litre in the propagation water or as a light drench
- First true leaves: 3 ml per litre
- Transplanting: 5 ml per litre as a drench on the day - Terra Aquatica's first-roots rate
- Foliar: 3 ml per litre at either stage, lights off
- Note: a rooting additive, not a feed - keep the base nutrient running alongside at a reduced rate
