Broadleaf Root Dip is a professional-grade, water-retentive gel powder designed to protect bare-root plants and trees during planting and transit. When mixed with water, it forms a viscous gel that coats the roots of bare-root stock, reducing moisture loss and transplant shock. This makes it especially valuable for landscape contractors, tree planters, nurseries, and horticultural professionals looking to improve survival rates and early establishment.
This advanced formulation helps maintain essential hydration at the root zone, giving bare-root plants a better chance to thrive in their new environment—particularly in dry or exposed planting sites. The gel is safe to use on a wide variety of plant types including whips, transplants, shrubs, hedging, and trees.
