The fungi provide long-term plant health as it has the ability to transport nutrients and water, reducing the need for chemical fertilisers. It also supports different growth stages of plants and, through its underground root network, these friendly fungi can connect with plants nearby and stimulate the plants’ own natural defence mechanism. Applying Rootgrow to your plants does not result in an excessive root system, as some customers occasionally ask. In fact, plants treated with Rootgrow have a smaller root system, than untreated plants, but with a far superior root architecture. Most gardeners buy or raise plants in sterile composts where the plants have easy access to the essential nutrients. However a soon as they are planted into soil, the root environment changes radically which can lead to plant failure and poor growth. Earlier and better growth. (In 2-4 weeks after planting the mycorrhizal fungi increases the active root area of plants by up to 700 times) When planted with rootgrow it takes 2-4 weeks under normal conditions for the fungi to start benefiting plants. In that time they attach themselves to the plant’s root system and grow out rapidly into the soil, searching for nutrients and water. They essentially become part of the plant’s own root system.

Sprinkle along the seed drill or add a pinch of granules just below the position of each seed or bulb In most soils there simply are not enough of the right type of native mycorrhizal fungi close enough to the new plants roots to colonise fast enough to show the incredible range of benefits complete colonisation of a host plants roots can achieve. Sprinkle the granules evenly, at the recommended dosage, directly into the prepared planting hole or pit.

Better uptake of fertilisers when applied 4-6 weeks after planting. (The network of mycorrhizal fungi act like a net catching nutrients and preventing leaching, especially with natural fertilisers) In 2-4 weeks after planting the mycorrhizal fungi can increase the active root area of plants by up to 700 times – it is approved by the RHS and we recommend that all bare root plants have their roots dipped into Rootgrow when you plant them.Mycorrhizal fungi are a remarkable group of organisms that have been benefiting plants for at least 500 million years. At the dawn of time when plants were just beginning to colonise our planet mycorrhizal fungi were there living in a symbiotic relationship with plants enabling them to extract nutrients and hold onto water in very difficult soil conditions. In effect, the fungus provides a secondary root system, a system that is considerably more efficient and extensive than the plants own root system. The pattern of root branching differs between (and is characteristic of) each fungus-plant association; pines, for example, have Y-shaped branches and beech branches are at right angles Increased survival rate of plants especially specimen and bare root plants and plants that are difficult to establish. (The extended root system nourishes the plant from very early on in its life) Laying a new lawn– Apply 20g per sqm to the soil BEFORE laying turf or seeding. This will lead to rapid establishment and better anchorage of the lawn. Once added at the point of planting our clever Rootgrow™ Mycorrhizal Fungi attaches itself to the plants’ roots and grows outward, searching for nutrients and water to feed them, helping to increase their tolerance to drought and adverse soil conditions.
