Product Information

When planting bulbs or seeds, sprinkle a little of the mycorrhizal fungi into the soil or planting hole first Better drought tolerance (due to the vast fungal root making best use of all available soil moisture) Phosphorus is often in very short supply in natural soils. When phosphorus is present in insoluble forms it would require a vast root system for a plant tomeet its phosphorus requirements unaided. It is therefore thought that mycorrhizas are crucial in gathering this element in uncultivated soils. Phosphorus-rich fertilisers are widely used in cultivated ground and not only reduce the need for this activity but are thought to actually suppress the mycorrhizas. For this reason it is best not to use phosphorous rich fertilisers in conjunction with mycorrhizal fungi.

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. 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. Why do I need Rootgrow 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. 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 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. We strongly recommend planting with Rootgrow, however there are certain types of plants that benefit more than others, such as: flowering or fruiting hedging; evergreen species (it takes more effort to make an evergreen leaf than a deciduous leaf) and tall pot grown plants when the root to shoot ratio is off balance.

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 All plant roots in all soils have a relationship with a staggering array of microorganisms. One of the most important families of these microorganism are the mycorrhizal fungi. 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. Mycorrhizas are not a cause for concern. The fine fungal strands that make up mycorrhizas associate with roots in two ways: Ectomycorrhiza (mycorrhiza living on the outside of a plant): Mycorrhizal fungi is a living organism, essential to all plant root development, which enables plants to extract nutrients and absorb moisture more efficiently.

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.

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) 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) rootgrow™ 1Kg 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. Suitable for garden designers, landscapers and private individuals with large gardens or planting projects.If you are only going to buy 1 product to aid your plant's growth - make it Rootgrow. The only plant treatment endorsed by The Royal Horticultural Society 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. 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. All RGpro tubs contain sachets of gel powder to be used on bare-root plants if required and a handy 25ml measuring scoop The desired consistency will depend on the root density of the plant species used. The appearance of the solution, when mixed, should be similar to wallpaper paste. For more dense or fibrous roots, the solution should be thinner.

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. To calculate the amount of rootgrow™ required for your project please use the rootgrow™ calculator:In its simplest sense, mycorrhizal fungi do everything plants roots do just BETTER in an entirely natural and organic way. Our Nominated Day Delivery is available year-round on the weekdays Tuesdays to Fridays, excluding the day after any bank holiday. 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. Rootgrow™ Gel has been specially developed for bare root plants and trees, simply add the solution to water and dip the roots before planting as normal. 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.
