Overgro — 2 Oz. Powdered Kudzu Apical Meristem Fertilizer — Created by Four Prong Herbs
Overgro, a Kudzu-based Plant Fertilizer, is a natural and organic product made from the apical meristem of the growing kudzu (Pueraria Montana) vine, providing essential plant nutrients like nitrogen, potassium, and potash. The apical meristem of the vine is also where the growth hormones for this amazing plant are concentrated, potentially giving this all-natural fertilizer some of the power of the kudzu vine’s unbelievable growth, which can be up to one foot per day.
Key Hormones & Their Role in Apical Meristems:
Auxin (IAA): Primarily produced in the shoot apical meristem (SAM) and young leaves, auxin promotes cell elongation, inhibits lateral bud growth (apical dominance), and helps plants grow towards light (phototropism) and gravity (geotropism).
Cytokinins: Produced in the roots and transported upwards, cytokinins often work with auxin, promoting cell division and releasing lateral buds from auxin's inhibition, allowing for branching.
Gibberellins (GAs): Synthesized in apical meristems, young leaves, and seeds, GAs stimulate stem elongation, break seed dormancy, and promote fruit/flower development.
Why it Matters:
Primary Growth: The division of cells in the apical meristem, guided by these hormones, allows roots to grow deeper for water and shoots to grow taller for sunlight.
Plant Architecture: The balance of auxin and cytokinin determines how a plant branches and forms its overall shape, influencing yield for crops like grapes.
This powder is compatible with both indoor and outdoor plants, specifically flowers and fruits, and won’t harm soil structure or microbial biodiversity. The powder contains only the milled apical meristem of the kudzu vine, so there are no harsh substances like chemical fertilizers can contain, which can harm the beneficial microbes in soil essential for plant health.
