To accelerate seed growth. Growth stimulants for indoor plants

There are many ways to help your plants grow faster, for example, the right fertilization or songs you sing can give great results. The faster the plants grow, the more harvest you can collect or bouquets you can make as a gift. Once you decide what kind of plant you plan to grow and what kind of fertilizer you plan to feed it, you are on the right track to grow your plant quickly.

Steps

Plant fertilization

Test the soil. In order to find the right fertilizer, you will need to know the composition of the soil. Many home and garden stores offer special soil testing kits. From the test results, you will be able to figure out which additives you should use to create the best balance for your plant's growth.

Choose an organic or inorganic fertilizer. Choose between organic and non-organic fertilizer. When choosing an inorganic fertilizer, look for one that offers the best balance of nutrients the soil needs. Organic fertilizers are more difficult to assess, since they differ in the content of nutrients. In order for the plant to get the maximum benefit, the organic fertilizer must break down into inorganic substances. This means that it will take a longer amount of time before you can see the result.

• Inorganic fertilizers provide nutrients to plants almost immediately and help them grow faster. It takes longer for the soil to absorb the inorganic fertilizers, but the soil becomes healthier over time. If your goal is to accelerate the growth of an existing plant, then use inorganic fertilizers. If you want to create a garden or flower beds that will delight your eyes for a long time, then organic fertilizers are more suitable for you.

1. Choose granular or liquid fertilizers. Granular fertilizers are usually in the form of small balls. Like organic fertilizers, they are ideal for long term projects like growing flower beds. Rubber serves as a shell for granular fertilizers. It allows nutrients to be absorbed into the soil gradually. Liquid fertilizers work much faster. However, they require more applications. It is usually necessary to spray liquid fertilizer onto the plants every few weeks. They are also superior in price.

   • Choose a fertilizer based on the urgency of your project. If you want your future plants to grow faster, then choose granular fertilizers, as they allow the soil to be saturated with nutrients gradually. If your plant needs urgent attention, then use liquid fertilizers.
   • If you choose a liquid fertilizer, be sure to read the directions for use on the bottle before using. Using it too often can overwhelm your plant with nutrients, leading to its death.

2. Pay attention to the nutrient content of the fertilizer. Plants need 16 nutrients to grow successfully. The three main nutrients are nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. They belong to the group of macronutrients. The essential minor nutrients are sulfur, calcium and magnesium. Of the micronutrients, plants need primarily boron, cobalt, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum and zinc.

   • Without three macronutrients, the plant cannot grow.
   • Some fertilizers may contain plant food. If you are growing only one plant, such as a particular type of flower, then this fertilization will help it grow. However, if you are growing several different types of plants at the same time, then it is best to pick up fertilizer without feeding.

3. Find out the amount of nutrients in the package. Different types of fertilizers have different nutrient mixes. For example, a 6-12-6 fertilizer contains 6 percent nitrogen, 12 percent phosphorus, and 10 percent potassium. Based on your soil test results, select a compound that will maximize the quality of your soil.

   Add fertilizer to the plant. It is best to add fertilizer evenly to the soil. If you have opted for granular fertilizer, then a watering can will help you with this.

   • If you are fertilizing plants outside, be sure to clean the street or sidewalk of any accidental fertilizer spilled on them. This will prevent fertilizer from entering the drain.

4. Fertilize your plants frequently. Plants consume nutrients quickly. To keep the plants "full", feed the plants as often as they need it. The fertilization requirements of plants will depend on both the type of plants themselves and the type of fertilizer. Read the instructions on the packaging carefully for the necessary recommendations.

   What about vegetables? If you are going to grow vegetables, choose ones that grow fast. Fast growing vegetables include common beans, beets, broccoli, green onions, radishes, pumpkin, cucumbers, okra, and peas.

   Choose fast growing flowers. The fast growing flowers will be useful as gifts or garden decoration. Calendula, Kosmeya and Kasatik Yellow grow fast and look great. Other great flowers are sunflowers, sweet peas, and nigella field.

How to help plants grow

Grow seedlings inside. If you're growing outside but need to wait until spring, plant the seeds indoors. The seeds will sprout in about 4-12 weeks. If you allow the seeds to sprout indoors and then transfer them to the garden, the plants will grow 4-6 weeks earlier than if you planted the seeds directly in the flower bed.

• Take several containers 5-10 centimeters deep with holes in the bottom.
• Don't use fertilizers. Instead, add a mixture of peat bog and vermiculite to the containers.
• Move the plants to fresh air for about 2 hours each day. Do this for at least two weeks before transplanting them into the flower bed. This will help them get used to direct sunlight.
• Tomato, pepper, eggplant and melon are best tolerated. Some plants, however, do not tolerate transplanting very well. Some of these plants are zucchini, beans, beets, corn, spinach, turnips and peas.

1. Talk to your plants. Research has shown that plants respond especially well when they interact with them. When you fertilize the plant, talk to him or sing to him. Record your voice, and play the recording to plants when you are not around. This will help your plant grow faster.

The cultivation of fruit, vegetable and flower crops is not complete without the use of substances that improve productivity and accelerate the development of plants. Every gardener uses organic or mineral fertilizers at certain stages of growth, but it is not always possible to create optimal conditions.

Unbalanced soil composition, heat or frost nullify efforts. To increase the percentage of rooting and the resistance of the green organism to unfavorable factors, stimulators of growth processes are used.

What are stimulants?

These are special preparations made of biologically active substances - organic compounds that govern specific vital functions: they affect growth, flowering, and fruit formation. These substances include:

• fulvic and humic acids;
• amino acids;
• vitamins;
• peptides;
• enzymes;
• proteins;
• polysaccharides;
• trace elements.

Planting material (seeds, bulbs, tubers) and plant roots are treated with stimulating substances, and they also serve for foliar feeding. Stimulants and growth regulators promote the production of phytohormones - organic substances that affect various processes of the plant organism. Phytohormones include auxins, gibberellins, and some other compounds:

1. 1. Auxins control the direction of growth: due to their action, the aerial part grows vertically upward, and the root part grows downward. They also stimulate cell growth and the formation of generative organs - fruits and fruit buds. Auxins are synthesized and accumulated in the young parts of the plant (on the tops of fresh shoots).
2. 2. Gibberellins are the largest group of phytohormones. Concentrated in leaf plates, unripe fruits and grains. They influence the processes of seed germination and preparation for flowering.
3. 3. Cytokinins accelerate the division of plant cells and the transport of nutrients, inhibit the development of lateral roots. Another interesting function is the slowing down of leaf aging. A high content of cytolysins is observed in the root system and ripening seeds.
4. 4. Abscisins - antagonists of the previous types of hormones. They have an inhibitory effect, due to which the ripening of fruits, seeds and buds, the preparation of the plant for the dormant period, passes faster. The absorption of water by the root system is activated, while the respiration process is minimized. This effect of abscisines is used in the manufacture of preparations that increase the resistance of crops to drought and frost. Such hormones are synthesized in all organs of the plant in response to changes in weather conditions, and accumulate in the leaves and root caps.
5. 5. Brassinosteroids are involved in maintaining immunity. Due to the content of these phytohormones in the cells, the plant becomes more resistant to soil salinity, dry conditions and frosts, the negative effect of pesticide treatments (adaptogenic property) decreases. Brassinosteroids are found in young organs - immature pollen, seedlings - in microscopic quantities, therefore such substances are produced chemically.
6. 6. Ethylene stimulates seed growth. The presence of this plant hormone also causes a harmonious ripening of fruits. It is actively produced in all parts in response to the impact of the same ethylene. Falling leaves, color of flowers and their aroma are also associated with the action of ethylene.
7. 7. Jasmonates influence the formation of storage organs (tubers). Activate protective functions against pests and diseases.
8. 8. Polypeptide hormones, along with jasmonates, are involved in enhancing immunity to insect damage and disease. An example of this type of hormone is systemin, which stimulates the production of jasmonic acid.

Phytohormones are formed in some parts of the plant and affect others. They have an active effect at very low concentrations (micro doses).

Types and properties

Both biologically active substances and phytohormones themselves can be obtained from plant or animal material - peat, coal, fungi, pollen, chitinous membranes.

Some stimulants are made exclusively by laboratory methods. In terms of their properties, such compounds are almost indistinguishable from natural ones.

Natural preparations

They can be made at home using improvised means: nettle greens, aloe juice, yeast or bee honey. Such extracts are used to stimulate seed germination and micro-fertilization of indoor and garden crops. Water from the container in which the willow twigs were planted accelerates root formation.

A popular line of natural stimulants is humates. Humus is an organic substance, the main component of fertile soils. It is found in large quantities in peat and brown coal. Humate enriches the soil with microelements, improves its structure, being a breeding ground for beneficial microorganisms.

In the past few years, algae-based preparations have also appeared. The content of plant hormones and trace elements allows these agents to be used to increase resistance and yield.

Obtained by artificial (laboratory) method

These substances are synthesized in chemical production. Used in amateur and professional gardening. This includes "Heteroauxin" and "Kornerost", "Kornevin", "Zircon", "Kresacin", "Epin", "Athlete", "Immunocytofit".

Methods for using stimulants:

• soaking seeds and tubers;
• watering the soil and plants;
• spraying (leaf processing);
• soaking or dusting the cuttings and root system;
• local treatment (partial application to certain plant organs).

In case of violations of the conditions of agricultural technology - overflow or overdrying, severe damage by pests, lack of weeding - stimulants will be useless. They increase the immunity of plants, but do not eliminate the consequences of improper care.

Best stimulants

The use of stimulants helps to increase the yield by 1/3 and improve the quality of the fruit. Thanks to timely treatment with drugs, plants are more active in coping with stress factors (chemical exposure to pesticides, difficult weather conditions).

Classification of stimulants:

• drugs that have an adaptogenic effect;
• rooting (root formation) stimulants;
• plant growth stimulants;
• fruiting activators;
• substances for inhibiting growth processes (inhibitors or retardants).

Humates

Supplied as a powder or diluted concentrate. Liquid preparations on a humic basis dissolve well in water.

They stimulate the reproduction and activity of microorganisms, which improve the chemical composition and structure of the soil (moisture capacity, air permeability). Thanks to humic compounds, metabolic processes in plant tissues are more active.

Sodium humate

It is a dark powder with an active ingredient content of 300 g / 1 kg. Reduces the consumption of nitrogen fertilizers, helps to increase yields up to 20% and a greater accumulation of vitamins in fruits. It activates the synthesis of natural phytohormones, increases the rooting rate of seedlings. The effect of radionuclides decreases after the treatment of plants with sodium humate. Before use, it is recommended to pour 5 g of powder - 1 heaped teaspoon - 1 liter of hot water (70-80 degrees). After 5-6 hours, the solution is filtered through a thick sieve or cloth. Apply:

• To soak the seeds of vegetables and flowers, the base is diluted at the rate of 1:10 (100 ml of mother liquor per 1 liter). The grains are dipped in liquid for 1-1.5 days, then dried and sown.
• For watering at the initial stage of seedling growth, 10 liters of water are added to 1/2 l of the solution, the seedlings are watered with the resulting liquid three times - after germination, after 12-20 days and at the beginning of budding.
• For spraying, a solution of 1:20 is prepared, as for irrigation. Processed until the leaves are completely wetted.

You can improve the soil by adding 50 g of dry humate per 10 square meters. For even distribution, the powder is mixed with sand.

Potassium humate

More expensive in comparison with sodium humate, but does not contain impurities of heavy metals. Promotes the acceleration of flowering and fruit formation, increased immunity.

The use of dry potassium humate is similar to sodium humate. The tubers are immersed in a 10% solution for a day or two. Cuttings are placed at a depth of 2-3 cm and kept for 5-6 hours. For spraying, dilute 1 ml of liquid humate in 1 liter of water, the frequency of treatments is 3 or 4 every 2 weeks.

Humate + 7

In addition to humic acids, it contains 7 trace elements. It contains nitrogen, potassium, copper, manganese, zinc, molybdenum, cobalt, boron and iron.

One gram of the substance is dissolved in 10-15 liters of water. Used for watering during active growth 1 time in 2-2.5 weeks. Consumption per 1 sq. m - 4-5 liters.

"Baikal EM-1"

The biological product contains cultures of beneficial microorganisms. Restores soil fertility, improves soil structure. Increases plant resistance to temperature drop. How to use:

• To prepare compost, 0.5 glass of the drug is dissolved in 10 liters of water and organic residues are evenly watered - sawdust, plant tops, manure. Stir and cover with foil for 2-3 weeks.
• For watering 1 tbsp. l. add to 1 bucket of water. The frequency of treatments is once every 1-2 weeks.

"Athlete"

Belongs to the category of growth regulators. It causes a slowdown in the development of the aerial part and a thickening of the stems. The main part of the nutrients is distributed in the root system, stimulating its active growth and branching. "Athlete" accelerates the formation of ovaries and increases their number. For most treatments, dilute with 1.5 ml of the preparation in 1 L of water. Used for watering:

• Seedlings of solanaceous plants (tomatoes, peppers and eggplants) at the age of 3-4 true leaves. One treatment is carried out, distributing 30-50 ml of solution for each plant.
• Cabbage in the 3rd or 4th true leaf stage. The frequency of watering is 3 every 7 days, the consumption rate is 1 liter per 1 sq. m.

For spraying: pepper and eggplant are sprayed 1 time when they have the 4th leaf.

Tomatoes are processed three times with an interval of 6-8 days:

• 1st time - in the presence of 3-4 leaves with a liquid of the same concentration (1.5 ml per 1 liter);
• 2 subsequent times the amount of water in the solution is reduced (1.5 ml by 0.5-0.7 l). If the seedlings have to be overexposed without planting, it is allowed to process them for the 4th time.

And sprinkle seedlings of flowers and ornamental shrubs with "Athlete" twice every 5-7 days. Flower crops - in the case of stretching, bushes - during the budding period.

The positive aspect of the product: vegetable and flower seedlings do not stretch in low light and high temperatures. Processing is carried out strictly according to the instructions for use. Insufficient effect of the drug (single spraying) causes strong growth in 6-8 days, and overdose - inhibition of plant development.

"Alar"

In contrast to the "Athlete" means, it is more often used to dull the growth of ornamental and fruit crops. The inhibitory properties of N-dimethylhydrazide of succinic acid (the active substance of the drug) are also used in gardens with the aim of actively laying fruit buds for the next year's harvest.

The drug is not certified for use in private farms due to its high toxicity to fish. Industrial agricultural enterprises carry out the following treatments with "Alar":

• spring spraying of winter varieties of apple trees to accelerate fruiting and prevent fruit falling off before harvesting;
• garden processing 2-3 weeks after flowering (solution concentration - 0.16-0.32%);
• watering low varieties of chrysanthemums to achieve a more compact, branched bush (0.15%).

"Heteroauxin"

Stimulant of root formation, the active ingredient of which is β-indoleacetic acid (IAA). Promotes the activation of cell metabolism, an increase in regenerative capacity (the properties of cells to divide and form a new plant from its part). Improves seed germination, accelerates rooting of cuttings and seedlings of herbaceous and woody species. Thanks to the treatment with "Heteroauxin", a high yield of daughter bulbs is obtained during reproduction.

The substance has a powerful effect. Overdose leads to developmental disorders, therefore "Heteroauxin" is produced in the form of 0.1 g tablets: it is easier to control the consumption of funds in small portions at home.

The drug is almost insoluble in water. Medical alcohol is used to prepare the solution. The operation is performed with rubber gloves. The required number of tablets is placed in a spoon, a smaller device (a teaspoon) is applied by rubbing, and the tablets are crushed into powder. After pouring it into a small glass container with a tight-fitting lid, add alcohol (5 ml per 1 tablet). Shake, periodically heating the container in a vessel with warm (up to 70 degrees) water, until complete dissolution. After that, the liquid is brought to the desired concentration.

Application methods:

The processing of rootstock and scion sections before grafting grapes involves the preparation of a high concentration solution - 1 g (10 tablets) per 1 liter of alcohol. There is enough liquid to lubricate 500 grafts.

Both the substance itself and the finished solution are kept in a dark place. Processing temperature - +18 ... + 22.

"Kornerost"

Analogue of "Heteroauxin". The advantage of the Kornerost preparation is its ease of use.

The substance is in soluble capsules. Prepare a working fluid for several minutes, use water at room temperature for this. Planting material processing methods correspond to those described for "Heteroauxin".

"Kornevin"

The basis of the preparation is indolylbutyric acid (IMA) 0.5%. It is used to stimulate root formation and improve survival. Kornevin is produced in the form of a fine cream-colored powder. Methods of using the substance:

• the lower part of the cuttings is moistened with water, shaken and dusted with powder, planted in a substrate for rooting;
• the root system of seedlings during transplantation is soaked for 6 hours in a suspension prepared at the rate of 1 g per 1 liter of water;
• planted plants are watered with a similar solution after 7-10 days.

The suspension is prepared by diluting the powder in a small amount of hot (90 degrees) water, then the liquid is brought to full volume with cool water. The prepared solution retains its properties for 12 hours.

Good results are shown by the use of "Kornevin" in combination with other drugs:

• cuttings from a powerful plant will take root better when used in combination with "Heteroauxin";
• rose shoots give a strong root system with the use of "Zircon";
• weak shoots are rooted with the help of "Kornevin" and "Epin".

After planting rooted plants, it is advisable to feed with phosphorus or potassium-phosphorus fertilizers.

"Zircon"

It is a stimulant of the plant's immune system. The active ingredient is hydroxycinnamic acids (caffeic, chicory, chlorogenic), dissolved in alcohol 0.1 g / l. A prophylactic agent against diseases of fungal and viral etymology (late blight, peronosporosis, scab, bacteriosis and others). "Zircon" accelerates the formation of roots during grafting and transplanting, for this reason its combination with rooting is unacceptable. Use with fertilizers will have a positive effect.

The solution is prepared by diluting the product in a glass, enamel or plastic container. First, take 1/3 of the volume of water at room temperature, mix thoroughly with the rate of "Zircon" and add the remaining liquid.

The active acids of the drug are destroyed in the light within 30 minutes. Processing is carried out in low light - in the evening, with an exceptionally fresh solution.

Application of the drug "Zircon". 1 ampoule = 1 ml = about 40 drops:

The product is quickly absorbed by plant organisms. For the action of the drug, 18 hours are enough.

"Epin"

A plant growth regulator that increases resistance to diseases and environmental stressors. Reduces the content of heavy metal salts, nitrates and toxic substances in tissues. Improves germination, increases productivity and promotes rapid fruit ripening.

The active ingredient of "Epin" is epibrassinolide from the brassinosteroid group. It is used as an independent stimulant and in tank mixtures with fertilizers, disinfectants and fungicides. At the same time, the consumption of pesticides is halved. It goes on sale under the name "Epin-Extra".

Using "Epin":

For preventive spraying of various crops, the following terms are used:

• nightshade and decorative - 1-2 treatments during budding and early flowering;
• root crops - after germination;
• cucumbers - 2 sprays: in the 3-4th leaf phase and at the budding stage;
• cabbage - full leaf rosette;
• onion sets - the formation of the 4th leaf;
• fruit and berry - budding period with re-processing after 3 weeks.

Epin is environmentally friendly. The prepared solution is used within a day. The substance decomposes quickly under the influence of light.

"Pennant"

Complex adaptogenic preparation. Consists of polyethylene oxide (PEO) 770 g / l and humic acid salts up to 30 g / l. Increases germination and productivity, resistance to unfavorable growing factors. It activates the development of beneficial microorganisms in the soil, enhances the effect of pesticides when used in tank mixtures and separately.

Using the Vympel stimulator:

New modifications of the line - the drug "Vympel-K", which enhances energy metabolism in cells due to succinic acid, as well as "Vympel 2". This remedy is fortified by the constituent carboxylic acids, which activate the processes of respiration and photosynthesis.

"Emistim-S"

The natural preparation "Emistim" is made on the basis of epiphytic mushrooms. Contains a number of phytohormones (cytokinins, auxins), carbohydrates, amino acids, trace elements, and fatty acids.

Increases the percentage of germination and vigor of seed germination, productivity, stimulates the development of a powerful root system and aerial parts of plants. Increases resistance in difficult weather conditions, resistance to phytopathogens and pests, including nematodes.

The rate of treatment of seeds and tubers is 1/4 ml per 10 kg of material. For foliar application, 0.2 ml of the drug is enough for spraying 1 hundred of plantings.

The drugs with improved characteristics from this series are Biolan and Stimpo. They are used by amateur gardeners and farmers of large farms.

"Biosil"

A product of biological origin, obtained from the needles of the Siberian fir plant (Abies sibirica). The main component - triterpenic acids - is used for processing planting material and plants during the growing season.

Biologically active compounds stimulate the immunity of vegetable, fruit and ornamental crops. Wheat processing increases the gluten and protein content of the crop. The drug is completely safe, this quality allows it to be used for the production of environmentally friendly products, including baby food. It is combined with most of the pesticides - disinfectants, insecticides.

Application methods:

1. 1. Treatment of cereal seeds is carried out with a solution with a concentration of 0.05% (50 ml / 10 l). A bucket of working fluid is enough to spray 1 ton of grain.
2. 2. Foliar feeding of cereals is used twice: during tillering and heading of plants. The liquid is prepared at the rate of 30 ml / 300 l / 1 ha of area.
3. 3. For tomatoes, 3 sprays are carried out during the formation of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd brushes. It takes 300 liters of water per hectare with the addition of 50 ml of "Biosil".
4. 4. Cucumbers are often treated with a solution of lower concentration - 15 ml / 300 l / 1 ha. The sequence of spraying: on the 3rd leaf, at the beginning of budding, during the period of mass flowering and 1 week after the 3rd treatment.

"Immunocytophyte"

Arachidonic acid preparation. Strengthens resistance to diseases of fungal origin and bacteriosis. The durability of the effect is up to 2 months after treatment. Shows adaptogenic properties. Combines with a wide range of insecticides.

Preparation of working fluid: 1 tablet is crushed and dissolved in 1-15 ml of water at room temperature, stirring occasionally for 1/2 hour. The concentrated solution is brought to the desired proportion. Usually 1 tablet per 2 liters of water is enough for sheet processing of 50 sq. m area.

Application methods:

It is strictly forbidden to use the product before precipitation falls. Also, you can not mix "Immunocytofit" with biological products and alkaline compounds, potassium permanganate. An analogue of the drug is a stimulant "Amulet".

Gibberellin

The stimulating effect of gibberellic acids was discovered relatively recently and is more pronounced than that of auxins. Gibberellins stimulate the growth of aerial plant parts at specific temperatures. Such preparations are used to increase productivity, improve seed germination.

Stimulants that contain gibberellins: "Ovary", "Fertility", "Bud". Designed for foliar application. Particular attention is paid to top dressing: on poor soils, the effect of drugs of the gibberellin series will be ineffective or opposite to the expected one.

The use of stimulants does not replace fertilization. Optimal results are achieved by using a set of tools. The action of various plant hormones and minerals is interrelated. Combined with the right growing techniques, there is a positive effect on the plants.

When choosing a houseplant, we always pay attention to the appearance of the leaves and flowers, the shape. But each plant has its own individual energy, influencing the human condition.

Beautiful houseplant- this is, first of all, proper care and conditions of detention. Even small care errors can cause dry brown spots or dry leaf tips or edges.

Also, the temperature and humidity in the room play an important role. And so that your flowers grow beautifully, magnificently and pleasing to the eye - heed the advice of experienced florists! These guidelines are sure to help you plant a gorgeous blooming garden on your windowsill!

Water is the main base of life for all plants. Watering should be individual for each type of plant. Houseplants also need to be fed if you want beautiful flowering and lush foliage.
— Sugar. The most natural way of fertilizing, for feeding indoor flowers. Sugar breaks down into glucose and fructose. It is glucose that does wonders. It is the source of energy for all vital processes of plants. To prepare such a top dressing, you need to dilute 1 tbsp. a spoonful of sugar in 0.5 liters of water, or simply sprinkle the earth with sugar in a pot, and then water.

— Castor oil. Ideal for flowering plants. You will need 1 teaspoon of castor oil per liter of water. When using castor oil: plants grow faster, bloom beautifully and do not get sick.

— Wood ash. Florists recommend it for the prevention of plant diseases. The most common way to use ash is to add it to a liquid. Not a large amount, usually 100-150 grams of wood ash is bred in a bucket of water, mix and watering is ready. Apply ash no more than 1 time per month.

— Pomegranate or any citrus peel. It is also a healing and excellent feeding. We take the crusts of any citrus fruits and fill them with water, leave to brew for a day, and water.

— Aspirin. Every two months, add an aspirin tablet to the irrigation water. One tablet for one liter of water. If this condition is met, then the plants will be resistant to diseases, and their leaves will have a rich green color. In addition, the growth rate will also increase.

— Aloe juice. It is a biogenic stimulant of plant origin. It is an ideal natural growth promoter for plants. The use of aloe juice will help to grow a strong and beautiful plant in a short time. Preparation: dilute one teaspoon of juice in one and a half liters of water.

— Milk. Milk is recommended not only for watering (1 teaspoon per 1 liter of water). You can also wipe the leaves with a solution of milk and water in a ratio of 1:10. After wetting a cotton pad with prepared liquid, wipe the leaves once a week. The leaves will shine, giving them their beauty and freshness.

In order for indoor plants to bloom and develop, it is necessary to carry out a regular transplant. When transplanting, the plants receive nutrients, and when replacing the soil, the development of the root system. Spring is the best time to transplant.

For the successful cultivation of indoor crops, proper watering is one of the most important conditions.

Video recommendations will help your favorite indoor plants gain strength and protect them from disease.

Plant growth stimulant is a preparation that is used to improve the development of vegetable and fruit crops.

The composition of the synthetic product includes:

• vitamins;
• trace elements;
• proteins;
• amino acids.

Using these products in horticulture and vegetable growing for different types of crops, you can get a high yield. They are used in private household plots, as well as in the agricultural industry.

What are the plant growth stimulants

Today, various means for the production of plant growth are widely used. Some of them increase root formation, while others contribute to normal development, flowering and ovary formation. They are more often used for the growth of "frail" seedlings.

There are also stimulants made from extracts of fungi, bacteria, algae, and more. In addition, they are created artificially and the effect does not change. Below we list the most popular drugs in this group.

Not so long ago, summer residents began to use stimulants and growth regulators more actively for growing plants.

succinic acid

It is present in brown coal, amber, in certain plants and even in the body of some animals. The product is available in the form of tablets or a white powder that dissolves perfectly in water. The drug does not cause any danger, even if the norm is exceeded. Quite often, the agent is used for the prevention and treatment of various diseases on an infected plant, it also stimulates the root system, and increases the number of inflorescences. We can say that this is a universal preparation, but it cannot be called a fertilizer. The solution prepared from it must be used within three days.

Humic fertilizers

They are also mined from brown coal, and they are also present in peat and sapropel. Such substances are capable of stabilizing the condition of the soil. In other words, after adding them to the soil, its density decreases, and moisture capacity and water permeability also increase. Any plant planted here will feel great, because it will receive all the nutrients necessary for growth and development.

The best way to treat with humic fertilizers is to soak the seeds or roots of the seedlings before planting. In the process of diluting the solution, you must strictly follow the instructions.

Boric acid

To speed up the growth process of indoor plants, you can use top dressing, and it is for this that is most often used. The substance is also able to increase the number of ovaries, and improve the taste of the fruit. An excess of such feeding can cause burns on the leaves of plants, which will manifest itself in the form of yellowing and twisting.

Remember, do not alter the application intervals or change the application rates.

Plant growth stimulant for flowering

An expert's opinion on growth promoters:

At different stages of the development of cultures, there is a slowdown in development. Growth stimulants act as assistants in solving this problem. Depending on the needs of the culture, the stage of its development, drugs are used that stimulate: root formation, flowering, the growth of green mass, the formation and preservation of the ovary. Compliance with the rules of use, competent selection of the drug can save time and physical costs for gardeners.

Anatoly Baykov

If you use such stimulants as stated in the instructions for use, then the result will be positive. On individual household plots, they began to be used quite recently, and many still do not know about them. Therefore, consider two examples of a stimulant.

"Bud"

This unique preparation stimulates accelerated plant growth, increases the number of ovaries, prevents them from dropping and reduces the number of barnacles. In addition, it increases frost resistance and drought resistance, helps seedlings to take root, and also prevents leaves from falling. The drug increases the yield, shortens the ripening time, makes the fruits more tasty and nutritious, increases the amount of vitamins in them and even makes plants immune to diseases.

It is necessary to use this tool several times, strictly following the instructions. Plants can be sprayed or soaked in a solution prepared strictly in the proportion indicated by the manufacturer.

"Ovary"

"Universal ovary" is a fruit-forming stimulator, which is practically universal, since it can be used for both fruit and vegetable crops. It helps especially well if there are no pollinating insects. The "ovary" is also able to protect plants from diseases.

These preparations are used to accelerate the flowering of plants and obtain seeds.

Treatment with this agent is carried out in open and closed ground. For each plant, the procedure is carried out at a certain stage of development. This information can be clarified by reading the instructions.

Root formation stimulant

The root formation stimulant is used to promote plant growth, as well as to form a strong root system. There are several drugs in this category, we will consider the most in demand.

"Kornevin"

With its help, you can root seedlings of various plants, influence the acceleration of the formation of the root system in cuttings and improve the survival rate of seedlings after transplantation. It is necessary to use the product in the form of dusting the roots of the cutting with a brush. But do not get carried away, because an overdose has the opposite effect, and the roots will simply rot.

"Zircon"
