FloraMax Root-XS is a professional root stimulant and growth booster designed for explosive root mass. This system-clean additive shortens crop rotation by accelerating the establishment of cuttings and seedlings. Ideal for hydroponics, coco, and soil, it ensures superior nutrient uptake and prevents transplant shock for a healthier, more resilient garden.
Establish a superior foundation for your crop and achieve explosive underground growth with Root-XS from FloraMax. This professional-grade root stimulant is an essential additive for any grower looking to maximise nutrient uptake and accelerate the early vegetative phase. By providing a complex blend of organic stimulants, vitamins, and refined minerals, Root-XS ensures that seedlings, clones, and established plants develop a dense, white, and highly branched root system.
Root-XS is particularly vital in hydroponic systems and coco coir, where rapid root establishment is the key to a fast crop turnaround. Unlike many thick, organic root boosters, this formula is "system-clean," meaning it remains perfectly stable in your reservoir without causing the foaming, blockages, or unpleasant odours that can lead to root diseases like Pythium.
Key Benefits of FloraMax Root-XS
- Explosive Root Mass: Stimulates rapid lateral root branching and the development of microscopic root hairs for maximum surface area.
- Faster Crop Rotation: Significantly shortens the time required for clones and seedlings to establish, allowing you to move to the flowering stage sooner.
- Reduced Transplant Shock: Provides the essential vitamins and hormones needed to help plants transition into new media without stalling.
- Superior Nutrient Uptake: A healthier, larger root zone allows the plant to process more water and nutrients, leading to faster foliage growth.
- Clean Reservoir Technology: Fully soluble and filtered; it will not clog pumps, drippers, or irrigation lines.
- High Concentration: Economical dosage rates ensure you get more value out of every bottle compared to diluted competitors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does FloraMax Root-XS work in soil?
Yes, Root-XS is highly effective in soil, coco coir, and all hydroponic mediums. It provides the biological building blocks that help roots penetrate even the densest soil mixes, ensuring your plants remain stable and well-fed.Is Root-XS better than standard kelp-based root boosters?
Standard kelp products often contain raw organics that can rot or cause "sludge" in hydroponic reservoirs. Root-XS uses purified, extracted organic molecules that offer the same growth-boosting benefits as kelp but with far greater stability and zero risk of clogging your system.Will Root-XS help a sick plant with root rot?
While Root-XS is a growth stimulant rather than a fungicide, its ability to trigger rapid new root growth can help a plant recover from stress. For active root issues, we recommend cleaning your system with FloraMax System Maintenance before reintroducing Root-XS.Can I use Root-XS with my cloning gel?
Absolutely. Root-XS is the perfect partner for cloning gels or powders. Once your cuttings show their first root nubs, adding Root-XS to their first feed will dramatically speed up the transition to full vegetative growth.SKU: 1725Free delivery on orders over £60*
