Root damage after transplants (3)
FYI, the arnica seemed to work well with the transplants. I haven't lost a one! (334)
We pruned and poured Arnica 30C once over a cherry laurel (sometimes called an English laurel) that we had already presumed unlikely to survive a harsh winter and transplanting (roots badly damaged). It recovered magnificently. (496)
Late last spring, at the end of May with all the plants in full bud, I sold three valuable trees - a yew, a special maple, and a Gleditsia. They were to be transplanted to a customer's garden around the middle of July. I wanted to dig up the trees immediately and put them in a tub, watered with Arnica 30 C (3 to 4 pellets in 10 L water). The weather was slightly overcast and therefore ideal. A week later I returned to the plant nursery and saw that the trees had still not been dug up. And they had therefore continued budding for another week. Our two gardeners said I was crazy to even think of digging up large trees at this time of year - they flatly refused to follow my orders. I insisted they did so and said I would take full responsibility if the trees later failed to thrive. So the plants were dug up, carefully treated, and watered with Arnica 30 C (for the shock of transplanting and to heal wounds). One week later we also watered them with Calendula 30 C (3-4 pellets in 10 L water) to encourage better root formation. The trees showed no signs of weakness at all. In mid-July they were loaded up for transplantation. One of the gardeners called me over and said I should really take a look at these trees. The new roots were simply fantastic! I felt a surge of pride. The trees were transported in the heat of summer and the next day they were planted in the new location. They looked as if they had already been there for a year. Arnica and Calendula are my main remedies. We have had great success with pricking out (transplantation of seedlings), repotting, and transplantation in general - the plants settle in and the wounds heal better. (496)
Results indicated that treated seeds of mung bean, sunflower, okra and mash bean with pure homeopathic drugs (100% v/v) by A. montana and T. occidentalis (30C) showed complete germination (100%), greater root length and excellent inhibition of root infecting pathogens (1707)
Root cuttings - Plant homeopathic treatments had a significant effect on fresh and dry mass of the above ground part. A 92,9% rate of rooted cuttings was obtained, and only as of 14 days were dead cuttings, senescent leaves and new shoots observed. (1722)
Were obtained 71% of alive cuttings and 56,7% of rooted cuttings. The presence of leaves in cuttings of Mikania glomerata favored the emergence of roots. The homeopathic prepared by Arnica montana can contribute to rooting of Mikania glomerata cuttings reducing shocks and traumas in cuttings. (1746)
the number of shoots, the length of the largest root, the percentage of sets and the quality of stakes were assessed. Data were analyzed through variance analysis, mean were compared by Tukey’s test at 5% level of statistical significance. Arnica montana 3cH, 6cH and 12cH had a stimulatory effect on all variables regarding the issuance of roots in both species studied, showing the similarity of this homeopathic preparation to the physiological picture arising from the process of cutting, promoting an increase in the percentage and quality of roots.

Observations showed that A. montana ... (30Q) when used in 100% v/v concentration not only
improved plant growth but showed complete inhibition of root rot fungi like R. solani, M. phaseolina and Fusarium
spp. followed by 75 and 50% v/v concentrations which also enhanced plant growth and showed maximum inhibition
in both leguminous and non-leguminous plants by using seed treatment and soil drenching methods, respectively. (1790)
