Tracked shipping

HESI Root Complex is useful during transitions, not as everyday plant food. Reach for it when a cutting, repotted plant or stressed specimen needs root support before normal feeding takes over.

For new starts

Use it when a plant is settling into a fresh pot, rebuilding after stress or moving from propagation into regular care. It is not the product for pushing top growth on a mature plant that simply needs food.

Support before nutrition

Root Complex works around the feeding plan; it does not replace it. Once the plant is stable and growing again, pair it with the correct HESI base fertilizer for the growing method.

HESI Root Complex fits soil, coco, hydro and passive semi-hydro care during transplant or stress periods. Use with rooted cuttings, new purchases, plants moved into LECA and specimens recovering from root loss.

Pair it with a gentle base feed once new root activity is visible.

What's inside:

NPK Ratio: No NPK / root additive with micronutrients, vitamins and amino acids
Nutrient basis: Root biostimulant with micronutrients, vitamins and amino acids

HESI Root Complex is a root-support additive for transitions, repotting and recovery. It is not meant to carry the plant’s regular NPK needs.

The formula focuses on micronutrients, vitamins and amino acids for root support rather than a fertilizer ratio. Once the plant is settled, the base feed should match the growing method.

How to use it

Use HESI Root Complex 50 ml per 10 L after repotting, during early growth or when plants need root recovery support. For repeated use on small pots, cut the dose to avoid adding more stimulant than the plant can use.

Water through the root zone. Leaf spraying only makes sense when there is a specific reason for it.

➜ A few notes before measuring, mixing or applying :

Root stimulants help only when moisture, aeration and temperature are also suitable. Keep damaged roots in a mild, brief treatment not a long strong soak.

Use clean water and clean containers when treating stressed or recently cut roots.

Frequently Asked Questions about HESI Root Complex

When should I use HESI Root Complex?

Use it after repotting, during early establishment, after root loss or when rooted cuttings need support. It is most relevant while plants are settling in or rebuilding roots.

Does HESI Root Complex replace fertilizer?

No. It supports rooting and recovery, but it is not a full NPK feed. Once the plant is rooting and growing normally, pair it with a gentle base fertilizer.

Can I use HESI Root Complex in semi-hydro?

Yes, it can be used in soil, coco, hydro and passive semi-hydro during transplant or stress periods. Keep the dose mild for small plants or damaged roots.

Die Pflanzen waren prima verpackt und ein heatpack war im Paket enthalten. Die Lieferzeit hat 2 bis 3 Tagen gedauert, was aus meiner Sicht wirklich gut ist. Alle drei Pflanzen haben die Lieferung gut überstanden. Ich habe mich auf Hoyas spezialisiert und habe schon die nächsten Pflanzen meiner Wunschliste auf der Website gefunden. Daher wird die nächste Bestellung nicht lange auf sich warten lassen.

The plants are carefully packaged and arrive in great conditions (I’m based in Spain) and they’re always there to help in any way they can with your purchase.I have and will always recommend Foliage Factory to every friend I can. I’m not only satisfied with their plants and prices, but their customer service is exceptional.

Very healthy and well packed plant. Unfortunately there was one plant that ordered couldn’t be delivered as it was out of stock hence 1 star less.

Die Sendung kam leider in keinem guten Zustand bei mir an, kann passieren. Habe mich darauf hin sofort an Foliage Factory gewandt und habe selten einen so guten, schnellen, freundlichen und kulanten Kundendienst erlebt.

Everything arrived in good condition and very well packed - it wasn't easy with a fragile plant and a heavy bag of substrate. I recommend it!

Bester online-Pflanzenhandel den ich kenne (habe davor 4 andere ausprobiert). Eine teure Pflanze wurde beim Transport beschädigt und mir ersetzt. Der Kontakt dabei war auch sehr nett (danke Jan) und hat mir gut geholfen. Die anderen Pflanzen sind in einem sehr guten Zustand, keine Schädlinge, super Bewurzelung. Nur zu empfehlen! :)

The plants have arrived in perfect condition, the roots and the foliage so so healthy! I had problem with 1 plant out of 16 and they have responded to my email almost instantly and the issue was resolved straight away. I'm really impressed and satisfied, definitely getting more plants from them again!

I received perfectly heathy and absolutely beautiful plants, even bigger than expected. The delivery within Europe was really fast. I think Foliage Factory has one of the best plant web shops in the internet. It‘s just great to get so much informations about the plants. I will definitely order again :)
