Kornevin: benefits for indoor plants
Its use increases the ability for cuttings to take root in a new environment and develop a good root lobe. The active ingredient is indolylbutyric acid.
It can be used for rare tropical plants of perennials, using them as indoor flowers. It increases the possibility of survival of seedlings and seedlings. When using green leaves as cuttings, it is enough to powder a section with a powder of a biostimulant. Then it is planted in a nutrient substrate previously disinfected. In the future, to obtain the best effect, water the soil with a root solution.
The action of root is based on the formation of callus; rootin as a phytohormone contributes to this. The awakening sleeping buds form roots much more intensively than without them. Using root for indoor plants, we provide their best survival rate.
What plants can be fertilized with Kornevin
In indoor flowers, when propagated by a leaf cuttings, its tip is dipped in powder by a centimeter, the excess is shaken off. So they process indoor violets, gloxinia, begonias.When propagating cuttings of geraniums, cyperus and other indoor flowers propagated by shoots, they are immersed in a root solution. The solution is used to soak the bulbs.
The garden is used to root cuttings of garden trees, when propagating bushes and perennial flowers.
Advantages and disadvantages of the drug
Like any chemical composition rootin has positive and negative sides.
Its advantages:

- A positive effect on the roots of the plant and their formation.
- It has a lasting effect on the plant, does not require re-processing.
- Simplicity in manufacturing a working solution and its application.
- Allows you to jointly use it with many fertilizers and protective preparations.
Disadvantages:
- It is dangerous for humans, animals. Requires precautions for use.
- It requires quick use of the solution after preparation, in the finished form it quickly loses its useful properties.

Instructions for use
Cornevin is a finely divided powder. If the opened packaging is not immediately used, the remaining powder should be poured into a glass jar with a tight lid. When buying, check the expiration date. It is stored for no more than 2 years.
The biostimulant is used in the form of a powder or a prepared solution.
Dry use
A dry mixture of root powder is cut into sections of cuttings before planting in the soil. It is useful to dip into the powder the small roots that have formed in the seedling before planting it in the ground. This method is used if no root formation occurs in the biostimulant solution.
The drug is quite concentrated, so a crushed tablet of coal is added to the powder when it is used for delicate exotic plants, ornamental shrubs. It will be useful to add insecticide to the powder, 1 part fungicide per 10 parts of root root. This will additionally protect the delicate roots from the harmful effects.
How to breed a drug
The proportions of the ratio of root and water are indicated on the package. The base solution is prepared from 1 g of powder and 1 liter of water. In preparation for planting large seedlings, a proportion of 5 g: 5 l is convenient. The solution is used fresh preparation, it can not be stored.
Using Kornevin solution
If the stalk is planted immediately in the soil, it is preliminarily placed in a solution of the biostimulant for 15 minutes. After that, the end of the shoot is dipped in crushed charcoal for disinfection.
If root formation occurs in water, activated carbon is poured into water. The seedling in the solution is kept for a week. During this time, roots should form or point formations (callus) should appear. It is the sleeping kidneys that awaken. The cuttings must be transplanted into the ground and carefully watered.
The solution is used to soak the bulbs, tubers, where they can withstand up to 20 hours. Young seedlings are watered under the root after planting, again - after 2 weeks.
Here is the flow rate of liquid rootin per plant for various crops:
- Saplings of large trees and bushes - 3 l.
- Saplings of medium and short bushes - 0.35 liters.
- Seedlings of flower and ornamental plants - up to 40 ml.
- Vegetable seedlings - up to 60 ml.
Seedlings are left in solution for 15 hours.
What plants are not suitable for fertilizer
If the plant, which is used to obtain cuttings, forms roots well, the use of a biostimulant will produce the opposite effect. When exposed to hibiscus cuttings, indoor roses and citrus plants, decorative pomegranate can rot in the soil when rooted. The best mix for this would be a root mixture with zircon or epin. It is not suitable for rooting herbaceous plants.
It is not always necessary to treat the seedlings with the drug.Under favorable growth conditions, the plant will not receive nutrition of green mass, everything will go to the formation of powerful roots.
It makes no sense to treat seeds with rootstock before planting. Noticeable beneficial effect and acceleration of germination is not observed.
Compatibility with other chemicals
The substance is compatible with many drugs used in domestic floriculture. This series includes other insecticides and fertilizers.
For greater safety, they perform this test: a small number of drugs that you will use together are mixed. If you shake the mixture and you don’t get sediment, sharing is acceptable. If a precipitate forms, do not mix these drugs, do not get the desired result.
