While it remains effective for a long period if kept dry, it is best used within the timeframe recommended on the packaging to ensure the highest concentration of viable fungi.
It is designed specifically for use at the time of planting bulbs, corms, or tubers as it needs to be in direct contact with the developing root system.
The product is a natural biological aid, but as with all gardening products, it should be kept out of reach of children and pets and handled with care.
Yes, this product is a biological aid for root health, not a complete fertilizer. You should follow your usual feeding program for your bulbs.
Absolutely, it is highly effective in containers as it helps the bulb maximize the limited resources available in potting compost.
The fungi act as an extension of the root system, significantly increasing the surface area available to absorb water and nutrients.
This is often the beneficial fungi colonizing; it is normal and usually disappears once the plant establishes.
Ensure the bulb was in direct contact with the granules; if the granules are too far away, the fungi cannot reach the roots.
To ensure success, the product must be applied at the time of planting. It is compatible with all bulb varieties, including tulips, daffodils, snowdrops, and alliums.
Keep the packaging sealed in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain the viability of the beneficial fungi. Wash hands after use and avoid breathing in the dust.
