Rootlife is a proprietary water-retaining biostimulant manufactured by Chemiseed Sdn. Bhd. (Malaysia). It contains water retaining agent (WRA) with organic macro & micro nutrients. It is high in phosphorus and calcium. It is environment friendly and harmless to plants, soil, and animals. Rootlife is an excellent nutrient and water reservoir for plant roots, able to hold many times its own weight in water. With Rootlife, the soil surrounding the roots is loosened and aerated. The nutrients become available to the plant, and its root growth and formation are enhanced. The aim is to keep water and nutrients available around the root zone through dry spells. We make no yield claim for Rootlife. Growers commonly use it to support the establishment of transplanted seedlings. For enhanced soil conditioning, pair Rootlife with SoilBoost EA for comprehensive root zone improvement.
Application Methods and Recommended Quantities:
Seed Germination
- Rate: 5g/kg of seeds
- Instructions: Mix Rootlife with seeds and add sufficient water to moisten them. Allow the seeds to soak for 15-20 minutes until fully saturated. For seeds with thin coats, soak for about an hour before sowing. Seeds with thick coats require a longer soaking period.
Seed Sowing
- Rate: 5g/square metre
- Instructions: Apply Rootlife evenly along the furrow line. Cover the applied product with soil, then sow the seeds and water thoroughly.
Potted Plants
- Rate: 5g per pot (adjust based on pot size)
- Instructions: Spread Rootlife over the soil surface, cover lightly with soil, and water as usual.
Ornamental Plants/Lawns
- Rate: 5g/square metre
- Instructions: Apply Rootlife evenly into holes or drills near the root zone. Cover with soil and water adequately.
HERE IS HOW IT WORKS:
MANUFACTURED BY CHEMISEED SDN. BHD.
Rootlife is manufactured by Chemiseed Sdn. Bhd., a Malaysian supplier of legume cover crop seed and soil conditioners to plantations since 2003. Chemiseed holds valid export permits. Rootlife is a manufactured soil conditioner rather than plant material, so a phytosanitary certificate is generally not the applicable export document for it; it ships with its product specification and commercial documents. Import permits and admissibility in the destination country are the buyer's responsibility. For bulk enquiries, contact Chemiseed directly.
AVAILABILITY: WORLDWIDE ON REQUEST
We supply buyers worldwide on request, from Malaysia. Contact Chemiseed Sdn. Bhd. for a quotation and export logistics.

What is RootLife (Organic Water and Nutrient Reservoir) and who is it for?
RootLife is an organic water and nutrient reservoir designed for root-zone moisture retention in tropical crops. It absorbs and slowly releases water and dissolved nutrients, helping reduce irrigation frequency and supporting transplant survival in dry conditions. RootLife is applied in the planting hole or mixed with soil at transplanting to provide a moisture buffer during the critical establishment period. It is best suited for transplanting, nursery establishment, drought-prone areas, and container plants. It is not a substitute for irrigation in severe drought, and performance depends on soil type and application rate.
Quick facts: RootLife (Organic Water and Nutrient Reservoir)
| Product type | Organic water and nutrient reservoir |
|---|---|
| Material | Organic hydrogel |
| Application method | Applied in planting hole or mixed with soil |

| Primary function | Absorbs and slowly releases water and dissolved nutrients |
| Suitable crops | Oil palm, rubber, fruit trees, ornamentals, nursery crops, container plants |
| Organic status | Use where your organic standard permits it |
Where does RootLife (Organic Water and Nutrient Reservoir) work best?
Best for
- Transplanting and nursery establishment
- Drought-prone planting areas
- Container plants and potted crops
- Reducing irrigation frequency
- Supporting seedling survival during dry spells
Not ideal for
- Waterlogged soils or already-saturated planting sites
- Replacement for irrigation in severe or prolonged drought
- Established plantations with developed root systems
What RootLife (Organic Water and Nutrient Reservoir) will not do
RootLife is not a substitute for irrigation in severe drought conditions. It provides a moisture buffer that extends the interval between watering events but cannot replace consistent water supply in extremely dry environments. Performance varies with soil type, application rate, and environmental conditions. It is not designed for waterlogged or saturated sites where excess moisture is already a concern.
How to establish and use RootLife (Organic Water and Nutrient Reservoir)
Place RootLife in the planting hole during transplanting or mix with soil at the recommended rate before backfilling. For container plants, incorporate into the potting mix at the recommended proportion. The hydrogel absorbs water during irrigation or rainfall and releases it gradually as the surrounding soil dries, maintaining root-zone moisture between watering events. Follow product label instructions for application rates specific to your crop and container size.
What does the research say about RootLife (Organic Water and Nutrient Reservoir)?
- Hydrogel-based water retention technology is well-documented in horticultural and agricultural research for improving transplant survival rates and reducing irrigation frequency in tropical and subtropical systems.
- Application in root-zone moisture management follows established principles of soil water-holding capacity enhancement.
Frequently asked questions about RootLife (Organic Water and Nutrient Reservoir)
How does RootLife work?
RootLife is an organic hydrogel that absorbs water and dissolved nutrients when moisture is available, then slowly releases them back into the root zone as the surrounding soil dries. This creates a moisture and nutrient buffer around plant roots, reducing the frequency of irrigation needed and supporting transplant survival during establishment.
How much RootLife should I use per plant?
Application rates depend on the crop type, container size, and planting conditions. Follow the product label for specific guidance. In general, RootLife is placed directly in the planting hole or mixed into the soil or potting medium at transplanting time.
Can RootLife replace irrigation?
No. RootLife helps extend the interval between watering events by retaining moisture in the root zone, but it is not a replacement for irrigation in severe or prolonged drought. It works best as a supplement to your existing water management program, particularly during the critical transplanting and establishment period.
Can RootLife be used on organic farms?
RootLife can be used where your organic standard permits it; check with your certification body before use.
