Canna Rhizotonic is a powerful, algae based, vegetative root stimulator for fast-growing plants that already have roots. Besides stimulating root growth on plants that are already rooted, new roots are stimulated in cuttings, seedlings and transplants. The various trace elements and vitamins in Rhizotonic stimulate the production of hormones and root growth, thus providing healthy, strong white roots.
Whether you’re hand watering or using a sophisticated auto feed system, this root boosting wonder will do the job. Canna recommends adding at first sign of roots appearing until two weeks into flowering. Use 2-4 ml per litre of water during the vegetative phase, reducing to 0.5 ml per litre in the first weeks of flowering. Canna would recommend using it alongside their nutrient range, but we have many customers that use it with other brands. Rhizotonic contains multiple vitamins and is 100% natural, adding more than 60 microbiological substances that considerably speed up the growth of a balanced root environment.
Benefits of Rhizotonic include:
Stimulates new root growth on cuttings and transplants, as well as enhancing overall plant growth and chemical reactions in the plant to ensure a healthier, powerful and stronger plant. Because it stimulates root growth, it improves the strength of a plant. This is especially important during the first weeks of a plant’s life, since young plants are the most vulnerable. Rhizotonic stimulates further root development, increasing your plants’ resistance to disease and promoting its inner and outer strength. Should your plants have suffered the effects of stress, this will help combat its negative effects. This really is a jack of all trades additive!

If you dilute it (4ml/1 litre), you can use it to soak seeds. Rhizotonic softens up the seed skin, making it easier for the seed to burst and germinate. All Canna grow schedules are on our website, and you can find them by clicking here.
