WHY ARE RPM-PRODUCED PLANTS SELECTED MORE OFTEN?
FOUR PRIMARY REASONS
First, seed PROVENANCE. Provenance is like a plant’s internal clock, telling the plant when to break dormancy. It also helps ensure consistent flowering and fruiting at your planting sites. We travel to different parts of the country to collect seeds. Then, we code seedlings by region for the best performance in their final planting sites.
Second, FASTER RESULTS. Our all-natural RPM-production method yields twice the results in half the time. Studies show our RPM-produced plants grow, flower and fruit two times faster.
Faster growth comes in part from unsurpassed lateral root mass. Greater root mass improves transplant success and helps plants grow faster! And, those superior roots support a third reason. SUPERIOR SURVIVABILITY. More than 90% survivability on even the most challenging sites.
Finally, LIFETIME VIGOR. Our proprietary soil media is as alive as our plants. It contains abundant and beneficial microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and nematodes. These microorganisms, in turn, cycle and produce natural soil nutrients, suppress disease, and improve soil structure. This improves water-holding capacity, improves carbon sequestration, and helps unlock your plants’ natural ability to access nutrients as needed. It also leads to valuable effects, such as improved nutrient absorption, heightened drought resistance, and enhanced protection against insect and disease threats.
Advanced soil genomics expands our understanding of RPM technology’s superior plant production. We are moving forward with our patented production technology into the science of soil genomics. We are unlocking and reawakening the advantages of more vibrant soil through soil genomics.
Before shipping, each RPM-produced plant receives one-year’s slow-release fertilizer. It’s another of Forrest Keeling’s little extras that make our RPM plants extra unique and help make your projects a success!
