Composition and action

The main substance that is contained in the composition is a special type of acid belonging to the indolyl species. Once this acid is absorbed into the soil, it takes on the characteristics of a hormone that stimulates root development. This will allow the plant's root system to grow faster.

Kornevin's action has a positive effect on other areas of orchid development:

  • to speed up the beginning of the flowering period;
  • increasing the number of shoots and shoots;
  • accelerating the development of flowers, which prolongs the flowering period.

The substance should be diluted for each of the directions in different ways. The flowering period will accelerate if you dilute 5 g of the rooting agent in 2 liters of water. The sprouts will increase their number if no more than 6 g are bred in 3 liters. It is possible to increase the flowering period when 10 g of the drug is diluted in 10 liters of water. Some gardeners prefer to use this substance to speed up the formation of seedlings (their growth is accelerated, roots develop and leaves appear). Modern weather conditions are negative, as a result of which seedlings often die. To stimulate their immune system, which will protect against drought or heavy rains, Kornevin is also used for orchids.

Agrotechnical use

Kornevin is used to care for orchids and other flowers at home. Often, the rooting agent is also used to process plants in the industrial sphere (public plantations, greenhouses and greenhouses), from where the flowers are then sent for sale. A solution of this drug is used to accelerate the ripening process of fruits in vegetable crops.

Use for regular orchids

Regular orchids also need full care. It can be used both in powder and diluted form. In dry form, the drug is applied before planting. To do this, it is poured into the roots of the plant. To protect against fungus, a mixture of Kornevin and wood ash is used, in a ratio of 2: 5. If you are going to pour the powder into the soil itself for planting, you should study the instructions for use so as not to be mistaken with the dosage of the substance. In 1 pot, with a volume of 500 ml, pour no more than 30 g of the drug. If you increase the dosage, the roots will burn.

A solution with water is used to form shoots and leaves on the main stem of the orchid. The processing procedure is carried out 2 months before the start of planting. The drug should be diluted in water (40 g per 1 liter of water) and put a sprout in this container. From the moment the first roots appear, they are planted in an ordinary substrate. After that, within 2-3 months, the orchid is treated with Kornevin.

  • as soon as the place where the cut was carried out became dry, it is immersed for 30 minutes in Kornevin's solution, which is prepared according to the following principle: the package of the drug, the volumes of which are 5 g, must be diluted in 3 liters of warm settled water, each plant should have up to 40 ml of solution;
  • 500 g of boiled warm water is poured into a transparent pot and 3 pieces of activated carbon are thrown there: a sprout is placed in the prepared mixture - put in a cool dark place, literally for 3-4 months.

This procedure is carried out for the correct formation of leaves and roots in the Phalaenopsis variety. As soon as the first signs appear indicating the possibility of planting, the sprout must be transplanted to a permanent place.

Security measures

In the instructions for use there is such a point as safety measures. Not all gardeners pay attention to it. So that the treatment does not harm human health, it is carried out in accordance with certain rules.

  1. Do not process orchids in a confined space. Some elements of this substance remain in the air, inhaling which, you will experience discomfort and dizziness. Elements in the air, falling on the leaves of the flower, cause it to burn.
  2. Always carry out the procedure in special equipment. Remember to wear glasses over your eyes and gloves. Avoid getting the drug on the skin, otherwise not only an allergy, but also a chemical burn is possible. After handling, wash hands and all tools under plenty of running water and soap.

Conclusion

Kornevin is suitable for strengthening the immune system of the plant and protects its roots from bacteria and fungi.
