Product Information

Full details

Rootgrow Mycorrhizal Fungi 150g is a professional-grade soil additive designed for gardeners looking to optimize plant health and vigor through natural biological interaction. By fostering a symbiotic relationship with root systems, this product helps plants significantly improve their uptake of water and nutrients, leading to faster establishment and greater resilience against environmental stress. While highly effective for a wide range of plants, it is important to note that the fungi must come into direct contact with the roots during the planting process to be effective, as it cannot be used as a simple top-dressing after the fact.

FAQs

Can I use Rootgrow on seeds?

Yes, it can be used for seeds as long as the granules come into contact with the developing roots.

Do I need to reapply this product annually?

No, Rootgrow is a one-time application. It remains active as long as the plant is alive.

Is this product organic?

Rootgrow contains natural mycorrhizal fungi and is safe for use in organic gardening practices.

Can I use it with chemical fertilizers?

While it can be used, avoid high-phosphorus chemical fertilizers as they can discourage the plant from forming the necessary fungal relationship.

Does the 150g pack go a long way?

Yes, it is typically sufficient for several trees or a large number of smaller plants, depending on the hole size.

Troubleshooting

Plant does not appear to be showing improved growth.

Ensure the granules had direct contact with the roots during planting. The product will not be effective if applied to the surface of the soil around an established plant.

Difficulty getting granules to stick to roots.

Lightly dampen the root system with water before applying the granules, which helps them adhere more effectively.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Promotes faster and more robust root establishment
  • Reduces the need for frequent watering due to better moisture absorption
  • Single-use application provides long-term benefits
  • Environmentally friendly and natural soil additive
  • Highly versatile across many different plant types

Cons

  • Must be applied directly to roots; cannot be applied to established plants
  • Requires careful handling to ensure direct contact
  • Not intended for use as a general soil fertilizer replacement

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To use Rootgrow effectively, ensure the roots of your plant are clean and exposed. For bare-root plants, simply dip the damp roots into the granules. For container-grown plants, place the granules in the base of the prepared planting hole so they are positioned where the root ball will sit.

Compatibility is broad; it works well with most standard garden soils and peat-free composts. However, avoid using high-phosphorus fertilizers immediately around the planting site, as these can inhibit the formation of the mycorrhizal relationship. No special storage is required other than keeping the bag in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to maintain the viability of the fungal spores.
