Propagation:
Use ½ teaspoon of Groconut per 500ml water for use in propagation. Mix well, and leave the base of the cutting in solution for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Discard solution and put cutting in your choice of growth medium.
TIP: Use as a foliar spray (instructions below) once a week to help encourage root and foliar growth.
FOR DIFFERENT PROPAGATION MEDIUMS:
perlite/pumice: Use Groconut once a week as a foliar spray on cuttings.
water: add ¼ teaspoon Groconut into the water 6 hours before each water change.
spaghnum moss/fern fibre/soil: instead of using water alone, add Groconut (½ teaspoon per 500ml water) when growing medium needs water. TIP: To help prevent rot, use hydrogen peroxide in every other water.

Foliar Spray:
Use ¼ teaspoon of Groconut per litre of water into a spray bottle. Shake well, and use mixed solution within 12 hours. Spray foliage (especially the undersides) of plants and cuttings once a week for best results.

Soil Ameliorant:
Use ½ teaspoon of Groconut per litre of water. Mix well. Pour solution generously over soil until water runs through the bottom of the pot. Use mixed solution within 12 hours. Use Groconut with every second watering for best results.

Right: Watered with fertiliser + Groconut
Hydroponics:
· Semi-Hydroponics:
Add Groconut to reservoir for 6-12 hours. Replace with clean water. For best results, add hydrogen peroxide (3ml per litre of a 3% solution) to the reservoir after use.
· Hydroponics
For use in full hydroponic systems we recommend using Groconut 6-12 hours before you’re due to do a clean and a water change.
Based on favourable EC/PPM levels, we recommend using Groconut in the following doses:
· Seedling Phase: ¼ teaspoon per litre
· Vegetative Phase: ½ teaspoon per litre
· Flowering Phase: 1 teaspoon per litre
Transplanting:
Mix ½-1 tsp of Groconut per litre of quality new soil medium when repotting toreduce/prevent the effects of transplant shock.
TIP: Add activated charcoal into your soil mix for best results. Learn more about the benefits of charcoal here.
Use mixed product within 12 hours for best results. Using it after this time may mean the active ingredients are no longer effective and beneficial bacteria may start to multiply. This is very useful for conditioning soil of potted plants/gardens, however not useful for unrooted/rooting cuttings or hydroponic plants which thrive in sterile conditions.
