Examples of seaweed product actions
Considerable success has been demonstrated with a wide range of crops, including:
- tomatoes and cucumbers
- propagating and growing hardy nursery stock and hardy perennials
- houseplants and interior landscapes.
With tomatoes, regular use has shown many benefits, including:
- greatly improved root growth, resulting in better utilization of plant nutrients and fewer problems with nutrient imbalances
- healthier and darker green foliage
- improved calyx retention, especially in hot weather
- increased resistance to wilting in changeable weather
- rapid solving of mineral deficiency symptoms on leaves with a foliar spray.
With nursery stock, many benefits follow application, including:
- quicker and better rooting of cuttings followed by growth of bigger root systems
- more branching on cuttings
- leaf retention improved on slow rooting subjects
- plants look greener and healthier, improved chlorophyll production
- flower colors richer and retained, fading slowed down
- indications of better resistance to frost in container plants.
Regular use of liquid seaweed for house plants and interior landscapes has shown many benefits, including:
- healthier plants with richer green foliage from improved chlorophyll production
- more branching and thence better habit
- better use of nutrients especially in non-draining containers
- flower colors richer and retained longer, fading slowed down
- the better root system and plants keep longer even when kept in adverse conditions.
