Nurseries, Seedlings & Transplanting
Lower transplant shock and fewer seedling losses.
Why water matters for nurseries, seedlings & transplanting
Seedlings in polybags and trays dry out within hours in summer, and transplant shock is largely a water problem.
When to apply
- When preparing the potting mix.
- As a root dip at transplanting.
How to apply
- Blend dry hydrogel evenly into the mix before filling bags or trays.
- For a root dip, pre-swell a small quantity in water to a slurry and dip roots before planting.
