Rodney,
In my experience I have found that Vitamin B1 root stimulator has worked
fine for me. Soak the rhizome for a half hour in this solution, plant
the rhizome then pour the solution in a circle around the rhizome.
The brand I use is made by Liquinox, however I have seen many brands
available. Other ingredients in Liquinox are Alpha Naphthalene Acetic
Acid (A hormone-like substance), chelated iron and phosphate.
