Plantworks Ltd RG360 Empathy RHS Endorsed Rootgrow Mycorrhizal Fungi ,White,360g

Product Information

Ericaceous (lime hating) plants like rhododendrons, azaleas, and blueberries need a particular type of mycorrhizal fungi 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 Mycorrhizal fungi is a living organism, essential to all plant root development, which enables plants to extract nutrients and absorb moisture more efficiently. Sowing seeds– Add 25g per sqm to the compost before sowing seeds. This will lead to much stronger root production and stronger plants.

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. 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. 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 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. Some products are sent direct from our suppliers and as such are not available for Nominated Day Delivery. These include:

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 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. Delivery Time - Please note that delivery times are currently 3-7 days. *Some troughs and trees may take up to 14 days delivery.

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. Applying Rootgrow to your plants does not result in an excessive root system, as some customers occasionally ask. In fact, plants treated with Rootgrow have a smaller root system, than untreated plants, but with a far superior root architecture.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. 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. Neither fungi nor plants could survive in many uncultivated situations without this mutually beneficial arrangement. The pattern of root branching differs between (and is characteristic of) each fungus-plant association; pines, for example, have Y-shaped branches and beech branches are at right angles

To calculate the amount of rootgrow™ required for your project please use the rootgrow™ calculator: 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. 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. Do not use if fungicidal chemicals have been applied recently as the fungicide will kill the beneficial fungi When planting bulbs or seeds, sprinkle a little of the mycorrhizal fungi into the soil or planting hole firstAll RGpro tubs contain sachets of gel powder to be used on bare-root plants if required and a handy 25ml measuring scoop

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. 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.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. Our Nominated Day Delivery is available year-round on the weekdays Tuesdays to Fridays, excluding the day after any bank holiday. Toadstools, especially ones that follow root runs and appear below trees, can be a sign of ectomycorrhiza (mycorrhiza living on the outside of a plant), as are the fungal coating and odd branching structure of affected tree and shrub roots.
