Dissolving Rhizopon tablets

Rhizopon tablets basically consist of two parts:

The active ingredient – indolylbutyric acid (IBA), the hormone that stimulates root formation.

The carrier or binding agent – this holds the tablet together in a solid form.

Indolylbutyric acid is naturally insoluble in water. However, thanks to the unique composition of our tablets, it is possible to dissolve IBA in water.

How do you dissolve the tablets correctly?

Add the correct number of tablets to clean water.

Let the tablets sit for about 5 minutes. They will dissolve on their own.
After 5 minutes, stir or mix well. This can be done with a clean stirring stick or, for example, a small hand blender.
After mixing, the active ingredient (IBA) is completely dissolved in the water. What you then see floating in the water or on the bottom is not the active ingredient, but the tablet's carrier/binder.

Is the white residue normal?

Yes, that's perfectly normal. Some growers think the tablet hasn't dissolved properly, but that's not true. Because IBA naturally dissolves poorly, the tablet actively helps it dissolve. The floating or sinking residue is simply the tablet's support material and doesn't affect the effectiveness of the mixture.

Be careful when using with hoses or sprayers. The binding agent is harmless to plants, but it can clog filters, hoses, or nozzles in fine systems. In that case, use a fine filter to strain the mixture before using it in your system. With proper application, you'll get the most out of the tablets – safely, effectively, and without surprises.
