Roots Liquid Stimulator

We all love our favourite plants and trees, and often would like to see more of them grow. One of the ways to hasten the process is to take a cutting from the desired type of vegetation, plant it in a pot or other container, and transplant it when the new cutting has grown large enough. But the process can be delicate. That’s where our Liquid Root Stimulator comes in. It both speeds the growth of the roots of the cutting and protects them from soil-borne diseases. Simply dip the cutting about 15 mm into the nourishing liquid and then stick it into a moistened growing medium such as peat moss, vermiculite, perlite, sand, etc. And sit back and let your tiny cuttings grow on you.

Frequently asked questions about Wilson Liquid Root Stimulator

As its name suggests, Wilson Liquid Root Stimulator helps a plant cutting to quickly develop a strong and healthy root system. Its high strength rooting hormone will aid in the rooting of moderate to difficult-to-root species, accelerate root initiation, improve rooting uniformity, and increase the number of roots produced.

 

A cutting from your parent plant has no roots, so the sooner you can get new roots pushing out, the better is your chance of success. Wilson Liquid Root Stimulator is different from most rooting hormones, as it not only has a higher percentage of IBA hormone than most rooting products, but it also contains a fungicide that protects the cutting from soil borne diseases. No other product on the market has this kind of performance level ingredients.

It takes 1 to 2 weeks for roots to begin to show.

You can find both liquid and powder forms of rooting hormone on the market. Both forms can work, but with the liquid form success may be easier to achieve.

 

With the powder form, you need to ensure that a uniform amount of powder adheres to the cutting. If the powder is brushed off when the cuttings are stuck in the soil or if a non-uniform amount of powder is applied, there may be inconsistent results.

 

On the other hand, the liquid form envelops the stem completely when dipped, and stays on it when inserted into the media.

No. The rooting hormone stimulates new root growth on a bare cutting. For fertilizer to be effective, you need roots to take in the nutrients. Applications of fertilizer come after the plant roots are established.

After the initial dipping of the stem and placing it in a soilless media, Apply a few drops of Wilson Root Stimulator near the stem once every two weeks before watering for the first month.
