Question from a blogger: What is pralinage used for and is it essential?
Pralinage is the proven technique of coating the roots of bare-root plants, trees, and shrubs—those sold without a soil ball—with a nutrient-rich paste called praline. Drawing from decades of horticultural practice, traditional praline combined earth and cow dung. Today, ready-to-use powders mixed with water offer a practical alternative available at garden centers.
This root dip stimulates new root growth, enhancing establishment and vigor. While not strictly required, experienced growers strongly recommend it for superior recovery rates and healthier plants.
