Root Stimulators for Good Root Growth

Rootgrow is an organic treatment that improves the vigour of roses when incorporated at planting. Rootgrow helps to improve the uptake of water and nutrients from the soil. It encourages the roots to grow more quickly and also helps to prevent rose replant sickness. It is especially beneficial in poor soil but do not use with bonemeal as that inhibits growth of the fungi.

Plants use hormones to influence and promote the development of their cells. Root stimulators, like rootgrow from David Austin Roses, usually come packed with bacteria that can actually produce phytohormones directly into your plant. The hormones encourage much faster growth which results in bigger yields and faster harvests. Mycorrhizal fungi are now added when planting as there is a symbiotic relationship that encourages healthy root growth.

According to some, quality rooting stimulators come with certain strains of bacteria, most notably paenibacillus, designed to enhance the Nitrogen your plant receives so it can help maximize root and plant health. This bacteria provides your roots with a steady stream of reduced nitrogen by converting N2 gas in the air into a form of nitrogen that can help your roots grow to their potential.

Hydroponics growers have had to deal with the encroachment of harmful fungi, usually when their conditions becomes too humid but there are certain strains of fungi that can actually benefit root development. When these fungi are introduced to your hydroponic system, they can break down debris and turn any undissolved nutrients into materials that your plant can actually absorb by increasing nutrient uptake, releasing Growth Hormones and promoting Beneficial Fungi, with Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potassium.

A mixture of 5% nitrogen, 12% phosphoric acid, 3% soluable potash is highly effective as a plant starter. It stimulates early strong root formation and reduces transplant shock.
