Rapid Roots

The biggest thing in root stimulation since ‘the little blue pill’, Rapid Roots has just touched down at AutoPot UK. But this all-new, 100% organic, plant rooting gel isn’t a watering system, so why are we so jazzed about its arrival? Why are we offering it? What is the ‘sot’ of our besotting? 

Just occasionally we run across something irresistible in the course of our test or home growing. So it was with Rapid Roots. Our interest was immediately piqued by the product’s background and the issues that it claimed to address. The premise of Rapid Roots is that, unlike almost all other seaweed-based rooting products, it completely preserves the natural plant hormones, vitamins, trace elements, and nutrients present in the seaweed from which it is derived. The Bladderwrack seaweed used in Rapid Roots is micronised without recourse to high temperature treatment, helping it to retain very high levels of potency. That deliciously named ‘Bladderwrack’ is an interesting and specific choice as an ingredient in and of itself, for a variety of growth-enhancing reasons. 

Bladderwrack grows in the hostile ecosystem between high and low tide areas of the sea. This means it’s imbued with anti-stress properties and is, as such, an ideal nutrient for cuttings and very young plants. By utilising Bladderwrack, Rapid Roots helps instil hardiness and drought resistance from an early stage, predisposing your plants to robustness throughout their lives. Huge quantities of beneficial long-chain molecules are also present in the Bladderwrack, giving Rapid Roots enormous capacity to stimulate complex, accelerated growth. Enough Bladderwrack? Time then to consider Rapid Roots other virtuous ingredients. 

Uptake and transportation of nutrients is accelerated by Rapid Roots’ added extract of humic-rich Leonardite. By helping your plants feed faster, more efficiently, and more completely, this mineraloid substance, formed over many millions of years, helps boost cell division and prolific growth. A virtuous circle is created. Water and essential beneficial nutrients are absorbed quickly, helping to stimulate growth that drives your plants to extend their roots and take up further inputs more keenly, and so on. Sounds good? So how do you use it?

Simply dispense Rapid Roots into a small container to a 2cm depth, take your cutting and coat the bottom 2cm of the stem. Once the stem is coated transfer immediately to your propagator. Maintain the cutting in moist conditions conducive to growth until the plant has effectively rooted. It’s as easy as that!
