A root stimulator that promotes vigorous root growth, reduces stress, and enhances nutrient uptake for healthier, faster-growing plants. It indirectly contributes to increased yields by optimising root health.
Canna Rhizotonic is a concentrated extract obtained from Atlantic seaweed. It serves as an efficient natural root enhancer and stress alleviator. This product aids your plant in swiftly establishing a robust and healthy root system, which in turn promotes better absorption of water and nutrients. Additionally, it enhances the plant's capacity to withstand challenging conditions, such as drought shock.
Key Benefits Of Using Canna Rhizotonic
Canna Rhizotonic is a popular root stimulator that offers a range of benefits for plants.
- Boosts Root Growth: Vitamins, trace elements, and growth hormones promote vigorous root development, crucial for nutrient and water uptake, especially for cuttings, transplants, and seedlings.
- Enhances Plant Growth: Healthy roots lead to healthier plants, improving nutrient and water absorption, disease resistance, and overall vigour.
- Speeds Germination: Soaking seeds in Rhizotonic softens the seed coat and accelerates sprouting.
- Reduces Stress: Helps plants cope with transplanting, repotting, and environmental stress, promoting root regeneration and overall health. Can be used as a foliar spray.
- Improves Nutrient Uptake: Enhances nutrient absorption through a well-developed root system.
- Increases Yields: Stronger, healthier plants support heavier blooms and fruits, leading to better harvests.
- Versatile Use: Suitable for various growing media (soil, coco, hydroponics) and all growth stages. Can be used as a foliar spray.
- Natural & Safe: Derived from natural sources, free of harmful chemicals.
Overall, Canna Rhizotonic is a valuable tool for any grower looking to improve root development, enhance plant growth, and increase yields. Its natural composition and versatile use make it a popular choice among both amateur and professional cultivators.
How To Use Canna Rhizotonic
- Shake well before use: Always ensure the product is well mixed before diluting it.
- Dilute with water: Rhizotonic is a concentrated solution and needs to be diluted with water before application.
- Dosage: The recommended dosage varies depending on the specific application and growth stage of your plants. See below.
- pH Adjustment: After adding Rhizotonic to your nutrient solution, check and adjust the pH level as it can slightly increase the pH.
Specific Applications:
Seed Soaking:
- Dilute 40ml of Rhizotonic per 10 litres of water.
- Soak seeds in this solution before planting to soften the seed coat and accelerate germination.
Cuttings and Young Plants:
- Dilute 4ml of Rhizotonic per 1 litre of water.
- Soak the growing medium or drench the roots with this solution when planting cuttings or young plants. This helps them establish quickly and develop a strong root system.
Growing Plants:
- Vegetative stage: Dilute 2ml of Rhizotonic per 1 litre of water and use it throughout the vegetative growth phase.
- Flowering stage: Reduce the dosage to 0.5ml per litre during the flowering period.
Foliar Spray:
- Dilute 2ml of Rhizotonic per 1 litre of water.
- Spray the leaves of your plants until they are lightly coated. This can be particularly beneficial for stressed plants or cuttings as it allows for rapid nutrient absorption through the foliage.
Stress Recovery:
- Use 4ml of Rhizotonic per litre of water for plants recovering from stress, such as transplanting or environmental changes.
- Foliar application can be especially effective in these situations.
Storage, health & safety and other directions
- Use Canna Rhizotonic in combination with your regular feed
- Store closed in a dark and frost-proof place
- Keep out of reach of children
Can be used on all grow media including coco, hydroponics and soil.
Available in 250ml, 1 litre, 5 litres and 10 litres.
Additional Tips:
- For optimal results, consider using Canna Rhizotonic in combination with other Canna products, such as Cannazym, which further promotes root health.
- Always follow the specific instructions provided on the product label and adjust the dosage based on your plants' needs and growing conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Canna Rhizotonic be used as a foliar spray?
Yes, Canna Rhizotonic can be effectively used as a foliar spray, especially for stressed plants or cuttings. This method allows for rapid absorption of the beneficial components.Is Canna Rhizotonic suitable for use with cuttings and seedlings?
Absolutely. It's highly beneficial for cuttings and seedlings, as it stimulates rapid root development, which is crucial during these vulnerable stages. It also helps to reduce transplant shock.Does Canna Rhizotonic affect the pH of my nutrient solution?
Yes, Canna Rhizotonic can slightly increase the pH of your nutrient solution. Therefore, it's important to always check and adjust the pH after adding Rhizotonic to your nutrient mix.What is Canna Rhizotonic made from?
Canna Rhizotonic is a concentrated extract derived from Atlantic seaweed (Ascophyllum nodosum). This natural source provides a rich blend of organic compounds, vitamins, and trace elements that promote root growth and plant health.Can Canna Rhizotonic be used in all growing mediums?
Yes, Canna Rhizotonic is suitable for use in all growing mediums, including soil, coco coir, rockwool, and hydroponic systems.Can I Use Canna Rhizotonic For Transplant Shock?
Canna Rhizotonic is excellent for combating transplant shock. It promotes rapid root regeneration, reduces stress, and improves nutrient uptake, all crucial for recovery. Before transplanting, prepare the new hole and water it. Dilute 4ml of Rhizotonic per liter of water. Gently loosen the plant's roots and soak them in the solution for a few minutes. Plant and water thoroughly with the remaining solution. A foliar spray with the same dilution can provide extra support. Continue watering with the Rhizotonic solution for several days post-transplant. Avoid overusing it. Combining with Cannazym can further boost root health. Monitor your plants and adjust as needed. Rhizotonic helps plants quickly establish a strong root system, minimising transplant stress and encouraging healthy growth in their new location.Does Canna Rhizotonic Increase Yields?
Canna Rhizotonic indirectly increases yields by promoting a strong root system. Healthy roots are fundamental for efficient nutrient and water uptake, which directly impacts a plant's growth and its ability to produce flowers or fruit. By minimising transplant shock and other stressors, Rhizotonic allows plants to focus their energy on development rather than recovery, contributing to better yields. A robust root system also maximises nutrient absorption, enabling plants to utilise fertilisers more effectively for healthier growth and potentially larger harvests. Essentially, Rhizotonic lays the foundation for high yields by optimising root health and function. However, it's not a direct yield enhancer like bloom boosters. Other crucial factors like light, nutrients, and environment also significantly influence final yields. Think of it as building a strong base for a plant to reach its full potential.SKU: 1079Free delivery on orders over £60*
