Root Stimulator

Because Fall is for Planting........Use Root Stimulator for success!
Root Stimulator is sold by many companies and is available in many garden centers.
Most root Stimulator's have a fertilizer ratio made up of low numbers, higher in the middle number (phosphorus). Some contain vitamins and hormones. Phosphorus rich plant foods encourage root growth, blooms, stronger stem growth and seed production. When you are planting any plant a root stimulator is going to help to get it established. It will make the smaller roots grow off the root ball and help the plant to thrive. It helps to keep the plant from going into "shock". If you planted some shrubs or trees in the late spring or summer but they dropped all their leaves chances are they are in shock. The new roots will try to grow off the root ball and then something causes them to die back. Maybe too much water, maybe not enough....maybe the wind blew too hard on your young trees. If they are still in the ground...give them Root Stimulator.
If you are moving plants that have already been planted to a new spot....Root Stimulator.
Houseplants....RS will encourage growth and you will have better luck with them.
Bedding plants....Sure!
Root Stimulator will help get them going so you wont need to water so much!
When planting new shrubs and trees from the garden center....dig your holes, add diluted Root Stimulator to the hole. Place your tree or shrub in the hole, replace soil around the root ball and water with RS. Use RS once a month or more often on any plants under a year old. Sometimes older plantings defiantly benefit from RS.
If you have any questions about new planting or Root Stimulator just ask in my comment box....... Happy Gardening!
