What’s really in Liquid Seaweed
Liquid Seaweed contains all the essential minerals required for a healthy plant, as well as a range of vitamins and enzymes all which help boost not just plant growth and health but are essential to improving soils and the microbial life within the soil.
Liquid Seaweed also contains amino acids, bioactive carbohydrates, and growth hormones essential to a plant’s growth. Amino acids play a key role as building blocks for not only plant proteins but also soil microbes, which in turn help enhance nutrient uptake in a plant’s roots. Seaweed contains phytohormones within their cells when they are harvested. Auxins, cytokinin and gibberellins are phytohormones that are essential to a healthy plants growth as they help stimulate and initiate growth, increase frost protection and help enhance water uptake in plants. Liquid Seaweed also contains minerals that benefit specific fungi and bacteria within the soil that also produce amino acids, carbohydrates and phytohormones leading to further enhancement of your plant’s growth and health.
