Know before you buy
CytoGro supplements a plant's natural levels of cytokinins and auxins. These hormones work to stimulate deeper root growth and improve the plant's ability to absorb nutrients, which helps it recover faster from environmental stress.
Yes, CytoGro is formulated for use on a wide variety of plants, including turfgrass, trees, shrubs, and even cuttings. It is particularly effective for helping new plantings establish themselves more quickly.
No, CytoGro is not a traditional fertilizer. With an NPK ratio of 0-0-14, it focuses on root development and stress tolerance rather than providing nitrogen for leaf growth. It is best used as a supplement alongside your regular fertilization program.
Because it helps with stress tolerance and establishment, you can apply it throughout the spring, summer, fall, and winter. It is especially beneficial during the initial transplant phase to increase survival rates.
As a liquid concentrate, it must be diluted with water before application. Always refer to the product label for specific dilution ratios based on the type of plant and the desired application method.
