Bonide Garden Rich Root & Grow Root Stimulator — 128 oz (4-10-3)

Boost Transplants with Bonide Garden Rich Root & Grow

Bonide Garden Rich Root & Grow is a ready-to-use concentrate that combines an IBA-based root stimulator with balanced nutrients to support early root formation and vigorous growth. While results can vary by plant and environment, many gardeners notice sturdier starter roots and greener growth when used as part of a thoughtful transplant routine.

What it does

This product blends rooting hormones with a 4-10-3 fertilizer ratio, designed to nourish roots at critical moments—when seeds germinate, when you transplant seedlings, or when you install plants into new beds or containers.

• IDEAL USES: transplants, houseplants, vegetables, fruit trees, berries, flowers, ornamental trees and shrubs
• ROOTING HORMONES: stimulates early root formation and better root systems, helping to ease transplant shock and support robust growth
• ACTIVE INGREDIENT: Indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) acts as a root-stimulating hormone during soil contact
• FERTILIZER BALANCE: 4-10-3 provides essential nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium for initial vigor
• EASY TO APPLY: mix with water and pour onto soil around roots according to label directions

How to use

Prepare a fresh solution by mixing the concentrate with water as directed. Use the diluted mix to water the root zone after transplanting or seeding. Avoid over-watering and follow label guidelines for dilution rates and safety.

• Transplant readiness: water the root zone at the time of transplant to support establishment
• Seedling care: apply during seeding or early transplant as roots begin to form
• Ongoing growth: use as part of routine watering for container or landscape plants

Real-life scenarios

Gardeners report that young tomatoes, peppers, and citrus start faster when roots receive steady moisture and nutrients right after transplant. For ornamental plants, early root formation can lead to quicker green canopy development and more resilient young plants in containers or garden beds.
