⚠️ What is a root stimulator?

 

 

They are special fertilizers that cause a faster and stronger growth of the roots of the plants, thus accelerating their development, they are less prone to diseases and pathogens, and a much more powerful root and tipping system is achieved.

Root stimulators are formulated based on hormones such as auxins or gibberellins, vitamins, amino acids, and some food. They can be of organic or mineral origin, and for a few years they have been combined with other miraculous products for the roots such as the beneficial fungi trichoderma or mycorrhizae.
