How to use plant rooting agent

The growth of any crop is inseparable from a developed root system. Without a root system to absorb water and nutrients from the soil, the crops cannot grow well. For example, after transplanting some crops, the new soil environment cannot allow the roots of the crops to fully adapt to growth. This requires the use of plant rooting agents to promote the development of the root system of crops. Let’s talk about how to use plant rooting agents.

1. How to use plant rooting agent

1. Prepare the tools : You will need a small dish of rooting powder and a container filled with water. Make sure the container and tools are clean to avoid contamination of the rooting powder.

2. Prepare the plants: Select the plants that need to be rooted and make sure the cuts or cuts on their stems or branches are clear and neat, without too many leaves.

3. Soak in rooting powder: Soak the cut or incised part of the plant in water, making sure the entire cut or incised part is moistened.

4. Dip in rooting powder: Gently dip the moistened incision or cut into the rooting powder, making sure the entire incision or cut is covered. You can shake or tap gently to remove excess powder.

5. Insert into soil or medium: Insert the treated plant cut or cut part into the pre-prepared moist soil or suitable growing medium, making sure the cut or cut is deep into the soil or medium.

6. Careful care: Place the plant in a warm, bright place but avoid direct sunlight, and keep the soil or medium moist. Avoid overwatering, which can cause root rot.

7. Observe growth: Check the growth of the plants every day or every few days. If the plant begins to take root and show signs of new growth, the rooting powder has worked.

It is important to note that different plants and rooting powder brands may have different instructions and recommendations for use. Therefore, before using rooting powder, it is best to read and follow the product's instructions. In addition, for some special or difficult-to-root plants, more patience and care may be required to promote their rooting and growth.

2. What are the functions of rooting agents?

1. Promote the growth of crop roots

First of all, the function of rooting agents is to promote the growth of crop roots. It promotes the metabolic division of crop cells, thereby promoting plant growth. Secondly, rooting agents can also promote the germination of new roots and capillary roots and prevent root aging.

2. Improve and repair the soil

Rooting agents have certain effects on root growth and loosening the soil. They can also increase the ground temperature in winter, making crops less susceptible to frost damage and improving crop resistance to disease and stress.

3. Prevent root rot and frost damage

The combination of rooting agents and microbial agents has a good recovery effect on crop root rot, chlorosis and frost damage. Among them, rooting agents can promote root growth; the beneficial bacteria in microbial agents multiply in large numbers in the soil and can also reduce the spread of harmful pathogens; rooting agents combined with microbial agents can effectively promote crop root growth.
