Product Information

Full details

Empathy Rootgrow Mycorrhizal Fungi 360g is designed for home gardeners and horticultural enthusiasts looking to enhance the establishment and long-term vitality of their plants. By fostering a symbiotic relationship between beneficial fungi and plant roots, this natural soil additive dramatically improves nutrient and water uptake, resulting in stronger growth and better stress resistance. While it provides lifelong benefits to most plant types, it is important to note that it must be applied directly to the root zone during the planting process, as surface application is ineffective.

FAQs

Can I use Rootgrow with fertilizer?

Yes, but avoid high-phosphorus fertilizers immediately at planting, as high levels of phosphorus can inhibit the development of mycorrhizal fungi.

Does it expire?

Yes, the fungi are biological organisms. Check the packaging for the expiration date and store in a cool, dry place.

How much do I need to use?

The amount depends on the size of the plant; always follow the dosage instructions on the specific packaging for the best results.

Is this suitable for indoor plants?

Yes, it is highly effective for indoor potted plants and can help prevent common issues related to irregular watering.

Can I apply it to existing plants?

It is not recommended for established plants as it requires direct root contact. It is designed to be used during the planting or repotting phase.

Troubleshooting

Plants are not showing improved growth.

Ensure the granules had direct contact with the roots during planting. Ensure the soil is not completely sterile or treated with heavy fungicides that might inhibit fungal growth.

Difficulty applying during planting.

If the planting hole is too small, mix the granules into a slurry with water to coat the root ball before placing it in the ground.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Promotes faster and more robust plant establishment
  • Reduces the frequency of watering required during dry spells
  • Single-use application provides permanent plant benefits
  • Environmentally friendly and natural soil health booster
  • Highly versatile for both indoor and outdoor gardening

Cons

  • Must be applied directly to roots; cannot be top-dressed
  • Not suitable for use with certain plant species that do not form mycorrhizal associations
  • Requires careful storage to maintain biological viability
  • Packaging variations may occur

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal results, always apply Empathy Rootgrow directly to the planting hole or the root system itself. It is not effective when scattered on top of the soil as a fertilizer. The product works with the vast majority of garden plants; however, some species like members of the brassica family (cabbage, kale) or ericaceous plants may not benefit as significantly. Always store the product in a cool, dry place to protect the live fungal spores. Because this is a biological product, ensure it is used within its shelf life to guarantee the fungi remain active and capable of forming the necessary root associations.
