HiGrow® RootStart™ Propagation Blend – Fine Buffered Coco & Soft Perlite 

Made for Seed Success | Clean, Gentle, and Ready to Grow

When it comes to starting seeds, early root health is everything. RootStart™ was developed specifically for germination and propagation, offering a stable, low-salt environment with just the right balance of moisture and air to support delicate young roots.

Made from triple-washed, buffered fine coco and soft-grade fine perlite, this smooth, non-compacting blend gives seedlings the support they need to sprout fast, develop evenly, and transition smoothly to stronger stages of growth.

Unlike many coarse or unbuffered media that can shock tender roots or dry out unevenly, RootStart™ is clean, pH-balanced, and optimized for reliable, uniform performance in trays, plugs, or small pots.


✅ Ideal For:

Seed starting trays, plug cells, or pots where early-stage moisture balance and low EC are critical.

Also works well for softwood cuttings, houseplant clones, and young propagation projects.

Plants include:
– Tomatoes, chilli, capsicum, cucumbers, leafy greens, herbs (basil, coriander, parsley, oregano, mint)
– Microgreens, edible flowers
– Coleus, fuchsia, philodendron cuttings, pothos, alocasia pups, young aroids

🌿 *Excellent for blending into other mixes to add fine structure and water-holding ability during transplant stages.
