Canna Start, 500ml

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. It solves the problem of starting with growth nutrients that are too strong for this stage.

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.
• 500 ml container, practical for trays and home propagation stations.

How to Use

Shake the container before preparing the solution. Dilute at 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 once the plant is established, and do not use in recirculation systems or cloning machines.
