CRP Frequently Asked Questions

·         How long does it take to see root development?

 

Usually, root development can be seen between 2.5 to 5 weeks, with an average of 3-4 weeks, for most users. Keep in mind that many variables can change rooting times. Below are things to consider:

 

*Always follow CRP directions first.

- Once calloused, either plant your cuttings or keep them vertically, on top of a slightly moist, well-draining soil. While shelving your cuttings to watch for roots can be fun, it generally increases the time for root development.

- Small cuttings will generally take longer to root.

- Cuttings that are etiolated, stressed, or damaged may take longer to root.

- Cold temperatures and low lighting can hinder your cuttings from producing roots.

We recommend bright indirect light, or if your garden is in direct sunlight, then root your cuttings under 30% shade cloth or filtered light.

 

·         Can CRP be used on a cutting that is already callused?

 

Yes.

 

We recommend making 5 or 6 fresh slices into the callused end. Apply CRP to the fresh cuts and then allow them to callus again. After, follow the normal directions.

 

*CRP can be applied as a paste by mixing a small amount of water & CRP, then applying the paste to the callused end with a brush; however, better results are found with the first method described.

 

·         Can CRP be used as a foliar feed, top dressing, or applied to already established roots?

 

No, we do not recommend any of these. CRP is mainly made of micronized sulfur, which can be beneficial in small quantities, but in large amounts can be detrimental to the plant and soil to which it's applied.

 

*CRP is not responsible for the misuse of this product. It should only be applied or used the way described in the directions or by a CRP representative.
