    Hello –

    I have a stained glass hosta I planted in the garden after having it indoors over the winter; has sparse leaves on it. when I planted it, there were no rots hanging down from its eye. I planted it with a healthy does of granular sea kelp and liquid root stimulator. What can I use to promote faster root development? Bone meal? Sea kelp? Periodic doses of liquid root stimulator? I don’t want to have to replace the plant. I appreciate any feedback offered.

    Thank you,

    Diana

    Kelp provides plenty of micronutrients to help against plant stresses and in my opinion is not used enough by organic growers. However, to stimulate root growth I suggest adding a root stimulator in liquid form that will provide the following:

    โ€ข macro-nutrients
    โ€ข trace elements
    โ€ข organic compounds
    โ€ข disaccharides
    โ€ข beneficial microbes

    I’ve provided links to two of my favorites below.

    Hope this helps!
