Benefits of Kelp

Using Seaweed extract helps to avoid transplant shock. These are the reasons why:

Seaweed fertilizers can be used as a soil treatment. And since most plants absorb their nutrients through the leaves, applying it with a foliar method will benefit the plant even more. As the plant absorbs sunlight, it will also absorb the nutrients in the fertilizer.
Alginates (sponge-like starches found in seaweed), hold water droplets near the plant roots, making moisture available to them without drowning them. They also help enrich the soil by feeding a myriad of beneficial microorganisms.
Soaking seeds with liquid seaweed prior to planting will improve seed germination, root growth, and early seedling vigor. Liquid seaweed also can be used as a rooting solution. Place cuttings in a solution of liquid seaweed and water until roots develop, then plant. It reduces transplant shock and speeds root growth.
