RootZone: an organic stimulant for better foundations

Healthy plants start below the surface. A stronger root system improves nutrient uptake, supports resilience, and sets the plant up for consistent growth.

RootZone is an organic plant stimulant designed to enhance your existing feeding routine—adding targeted support for root development and overall vitality.

First principles: essentials vs additives

Plants need 12 essential minerals to thrive. That core nutrition comes from a complete nutrient solution.

Additives can’t replace those essentials—but the right additive can improve the conditions for stronger growth.

RootZone is designed to do exactly that: boost the performance of your nutrient program by supporting root health and media vitality.

The science behind RootZone

What Rootzone is made from (and why it matters)

Rootzone is kelp-based and includes naturally occurring compounds that plants respond to strongly during growth.

Key components include:

  • Plant growth regulators such as auxins and cytokinins (associated with vigorous root development)
  • Fulvic acid, plus additional minerals and vitamins to support overall plant vitality

How Rootzone supports the growing media

Because it’s organic, Rootzone can also support beneficial microbial activity by enriching the media with organic matter.

That can contribute to a healthier root zone environment—supporting stronger roots first, and better above-ground growth as the plant develops.

"Rootzone has been a miracle when it comes to increasing root density, preventing rot, and establishing cuttings. Along with the forever favourites CCS and Clonex, there is not a cutting that these products can’t get growing."

How to use RootZone correctly

RootZone is designed to be used with a complete nutrient, not instead of one.

  • Pair it with a Focus Range nutrient (for example, Foliage Focus)
  • Dose: 1 ml of RootZone per litre of nutrient solution

Because Rootzone is organic:

  • Use the solution soon after mixing
  • Store Rootzone in a cool, dark place
  • Avoid letting mixed solution sit (to reduce unwanted microbial growth)

Key takeaway: Rootzone is a supplement that improves outcomes. Keep essential minerals as the baseline—then use Rootzone to enhance root strength and overall vitality.
