Canna Start, 5 lt

Canna Start is the nutrient for seedlings and rooted cuttings from the Canna line: the first complete meal of the growth cycle. Its single-component, low-concentration formula delivers all the elements a young plant needs without exposing it to salinity that could damage newly formed roots. The 5-liter presentation is designed for nurseries and commercial propagation with high turnover.

Benefits

• Unique and complete formula: no A and B parts required.
• Works at low EC (0.7 to 1.3 mS/cm including water), appropriate for young tissue.
• Compatible with coco, peat plugs, germination mixes, and most propagation media.
• Can be combined with a root stimulator like Canna Rhizotonic.
• 5-liter container: yields up to 1250 liters of full-dose solution.

How to use

Shake the container before preparing the solution. Dilute in a 1:250 ratio—up to 40 ml per 10 liters of water—and adjust the pH between 5.2 and 6.2 depending on the substrate; for very young seedlings, a milder dose, closer to 2 ml per liter, is advisable. Apply as a light watering, switch to the Canna growth formula when the plant is established, and do not use in recirculation systems or cloning machines.
