Biostimulators and Boosters
Plant biostimulants and boosters – support for growth, roots and flowering
In the biostimulants and boosters category you will find products designed to support plant development at different stages of the growing cycle. We offer products for rooting, vegetative growth, recovery, flowering and improving overall plant condition.
Products from many renowned manufacturers are available, suitable for growing in soil, coco substrates and hydroponic systems.
Key information at a glance
- boosters support specific stages of plant development,
- biostimulants can support roots, growth and resilience,
- not every booster replaces a base nutrient,
- the product should be chosen according to the growth stage and cultivation method,
- when using several additives, it is worth monitoring pH and EC.
What is a plant growth biostimulant?
A biostimulant is a product designed to support natural processes taking place in the plant. Depending on its composition, it may support root development, above-ground growth, nutrient uptake, recovery after stress or the general condition of the plant.
Such products may contain amino acids, vitamins, plant extracts, enzymes, micronutrients, organic ingredients and compounds supporting substrate microflora.
How is a booster different from a fertiliser?
Base nutrient
Supplies the essential nutrients needed by the plant for healthy growth.
Booster / biostimulant
Supports a selected process or stage of development, such as rooting, growth, flowering or nutrient uptake.
Therefore, a booster should not always be treated as a replacement for a fertiliser. In most cases it is an addition to the basic feeding programme.
What boosters and growth stimulators are available?
Depending on your needs, you can choose products designed for different purposes:
- root stimulators – supporting development of the root zone,
- growth boosters – intended for intensive vegetative growth,
- flowering boosters – used during the generative stage,
- enzymes – supporting substrate activity and decomposition of organic residues,
- vitamin and amino acid products,
- additives supporting nutrient uptake,
- products supporting recovery after plant stress.
Not every product should be used throughout the entire cycle. It is best to choose boosters according to the plant’s development stage and the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Growth booster – when is it worth using?
Growth boosters are used when the aim is to support development of green plant tissue, the root system and the plant’s overall condition.
This group includes rooting products, amino acids, vitamins, organic extracts and additives designed to improve nutrient utilisation.
Flowering booster – what does it do?
Products intended for the flowering stage are designed to support processes taking place during generative development. Depending on their composition, they may contain ingredients that support flower and fruit development as well as phosphorus and potassium management.
It is important not to exceed the recommended dosage, as excessive concentration of additives may lead to feeding problems and excessive salt build-up in the substrate.
Biostimulants for soil, coco and hydroponics
Many biostimulants and boosters can be used in different cultivation systems, but the recommendations of the specific manufacturer should always be checked.
Soil cultivation
In soil, products may support both the plant itself and the root environment. Organic additives, enzymes and rooting stimulators are particularly popular.
Coco substrate
In coco it is worth using products designed for intensive feeding programmes and regularly monitoring pH and EC of the nutrient solution.
Hydroponics
In hydroponic systems, good solubility and compatibility with the irrigation system are especially important.
Can several boosters be combined?
Yes, but only if the manufacturer’s feeding programme allows such a combination. Combining several highly concentrated additives may result in duplicated ingredients and excessively high EC.
With an advanced feeding programme, it is worth measuring pH and EC after preparing the complete nutrient solution, rather than measuring only clean water.

How to choose the right biostimulant or booster?
When choosing a product, pay particular attention to:
- the plant’s development stage,
- the type of substrate,
- the base nutrient being used,
- the manufacturer’s recommendations,
- the current pH and EC of the nutrient solution,
- whether the product is intended for root application, foliar feeding or irrigation systems.
FAQ – biostimulants, boosters and growth stimulators
Summary
Biostimulants and boosters complement the basic feeding programme with products designed to support selected stages of plant development. When choosing a product, consider its intended use, cultivation method and the manufacturer’s recommendations, and regularly monitor pH and EC in more advanced feeding programmes.
