rootgrow™ 360g with Gel contains mycorrhizal fungi which naturally increase nutrient and water uptake by forming a highly efficient secondary root system . It is completely natural and plant-friendly fungi suitable for use on flowering plants, trees, shrubs and edibles. 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. Ericaceous (lime hating) plants like rhododendrons, azaleas, and blueberries need a particular type of mycorrhizal fungiSprinkle along the seed drill or add a pinch of granules just below the position of each seed or bulb When planting bulbs or seeds, sprinkle a little of the mycorrhizal fungi into the soil or planting hole first Our Nominated Day Delivery is available year-round on the weekdays Tuesdays to Fridays, excluding the day after any bank holiday. Some products are sent direct from our suppliers and as such are not available for Nominated Day Delivery. These include: To grow well, plants need a wide range of nutrients in various amounts, depending on the individual plant and its stage of growth. The three key plant nutrients usually derived from soil are nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, while carbon, oxygen and hydrogen are absorbed from the air. Other vital soil nutrients include magnesium, calcium and sulphur. Gardeners can add nutrients by applying fertilisers (either artificial or naturally derived) to boost plant growth and improve flowering and fruiting. nutrients gathered from the soil by the fungal strands. The mycorrhizas greatly increase the absorptive area of a plant, acting as extensions to the root system.

Sheathing fungi often send up fruiting bodies. These include the many toadstools commonly seen around trees that often alarm gardeners who mistake them for honey fungus The most important use of mycorrhizal fungi is as a one-off aid when planting, especially of bare rooted trees, shrubs, roses, hedging, fruit, and perennials. Mycorrhizal fungi is also beneficial when growing from seed, including lawns, and bulbs Mycorrhizal fungi has become a planting essential thanks to its incredible abilities to create a secondary root system, supporting plants and trees throughout their lifetime, helping them to grow stronger and healthier. Applying to an established lawn– Spike the lawn and apply 20g per sqm before brushing into the holes. Results in denser grass and helps lawns recover from stress. Do not apply chemical fertilizers, or phosphorus-rich organic ones such as bonemeal, as these would suppress mycorrhizal fungi activityrootgrow™ 360g contains mycorrhizal fungi which naturally increase nutrient and water uptake by forming a highly efficient secondary root system . It is completely natural and plant-friendly fungi suitable for use on flowering plants, trees, shrubs and edibles. 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.

Neither fungi nor plants could survive in many uncultivated situations without this mutually beneficial arrangement.

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) Delivery Time - Please note that delivery times are currently 3-7 days. *Some troughs and trees may take up to 14 days delivery. Avoid using mycorrhizal fungi alone on poor or over-cultivated soil. Improve the overall soil condition first by applying plenty of organic matter, such as garden compost, well-rotted manure, composted chipped bark or garden shreddings, or leaf mould This is why it is so important to use rootgrow. Just 1 teaspoon can contain up to 5000 pieces of fungi all ready to explode into growth, colonising every millimetre of a plants roots in a matter of days. These fungi are living organisms and will live with the plant, sourcing a continued nutrient supply for its entire lifetime – a truly sustainable plant nutrition solution. In exchange the plant provides carbon and sugars to the fungi. Not unsurprisingly, 90% of all land plants employ this relationship to enhance their own root system’s capacity to deliver nutrients.
