Strong, healthy plants are the key to achieving a thriving indoor jungle, and it all starts below the soil. Shogun Katana Roots is a powerful root stimulator designed to give your seedlings and cuttings the best possible start in life.
It doesn't just make roots grow longer; it encourages the development of a complex, efficient root system capable of maximum nutrient uptake. Whether you are propagating rare Aroids or managing a full hydroponic setup, this is the fuel your engine needs.
Please allow a 7-10 day processing time for the 1L, 5L and 10L bottles before your order is dispatched.
Explosive Root Growth: It drastically improves the success rate of cuttings and transplants by helping them develop large root systems quickly.
Disease Shield: Healthy roots are resistant roots. Continued use helps protect your plants from nasty pathogens and fungi, specifically Pythium, which can turn a flourishing root system into dark brown sludge.
Efficiency Boost: By creating a more complex root zone, Katana Roots improves the uptake mechanism, ensuring your plants can absorb the maximum amount of nutrients to fuel faster growth above ground.
Stress Recovery: It is highly effective when used as a foliar spray to help stressed plants recover quickly.
For Propagation (Seedlings & Cuttings): Use 5ml per litre. You can soak your propagation media (plugs/moss) in this solution for 15 minutes before use to improve success rates. Continue to use once per week for the first 1-2 weeks.
For Established Plants: Once established, lower the dose to 0.2ml per litre. Use this throughout the vegetative stage and the first 3 weeks of flowering to maintain root health.
Foliar Spray: Mix 5ml per litre and spray 1-2 times per week to revive stressed plants.
Best Used With: Works well alongside Shogun Start and Shogun ZenZym.
Available Sizes: 250ml, 1L, 5L and 10L bottles.
Pro-Tip: Don't Forget the Soak If you are struggling with rooting stubborn cuttings, try the "soak method." Soaking your propagation plugs in a 5ml/L solution of Katana Roots for 15 minutes before inserting the cutting gives the stem immediate access to the stimulants it needs to pop those first roots.

We always aim to make sure our customers love our products, but if you do need to return an order within 14 days of purchase (not including plants*), or any items are damaged, we’re happy to help. Just email us directly at hello@growtropicals.com, and we’ll take you through the process.
Please note: we cannot be held liable for any packaging costs should the original packaging be discarded.
*Unfortunately we cannot accept returns of undamaged plants as these are perishable items and are not saleable upon return. If a plant is damaged, we will compensate for this as per our live arrival guarantee.
When placing your order, you can choose from three dispatch speeds to suit your needs: Economy (prepared and shipped within 4-5 days), Standard (3-5 days), or Express (dispatched the very next day). Please keep in mind that "dispatch" refers to the time it takes our team to prepare and pack your items before handing them over to the courier, not the total delivery time.
Shipping costs are based on your total order value and will be calculated at checkout, with free shipping automatically applied to all orders over £60. For a full breakdown of shipping prices see our Help Centre.
Additionally, to protect the health and quality of our live plants, orders containing plants are exclusively shipped Monday through Thursday. This careful scheduling prevents your plants from being stuck in a dark shipping depot over the weekend, ensuring they arrive at your door vibrant and healthy.
We could not find a close match for that. Ask us directly and a real plant person will reply.
