Quality UK Grown Plants

100% SSL Secured Shoppingrootgrow™ can offer huge benefits to almost all garden plants. It is the only product that will support your plants for their entire lifetime, making it probably the best value purchase you will make. Comprising of (UK origin) Mycorrhizal fungi, rootgrow™ is 100% natural and is the only planting aid to carry the RHS seal of approval.
For better establishment, naturally healthier plants, better drought resistance and stronger flowering and fruiting, rootgrow™ is all you need. Mycorrhizal fungi will colonise the plant and develop into a huge secondary root system that will increase the root area of your plants by up to 700 times in just a few weeks. This will help the plant find essential nutrients, minerals and moisture, enabling the plant to establish quicker and reducing the risk of failure.
One simple application at planting time is all that is required. Once you have used this amazing product you will wonder how you ever managed to grow your plants without it!
Almost all new plants will benefit from rootgrow™ but there are a few exceptions: blueberries, cranberries, lingonberries, rhododendrons, azaleas, heathers & brassicas. It should be noted that using rootgrow™ on these plants will not harm them - it just won’t work. Please use to rootgrow™ Ericoid for those plants (except Brassicas).
Rootgrow 360g is supplied with gel for mixing into a bucket to dip plants before planting and is ideal for treating larger quantities. One 360g pack will treat up to 100 bare rooted plants or 18 x 3 litre pots.
Pack size: 360g.
Give your new plants the best possible start!
rootgrow™ Mycorrhizal Fungi forms a natural partnership with plant roots, helping them absorb more water and nutrients for stronger establishment, improved drought tolerance and healthier long-term growth. The fungal relationship begins forming within 2–4 weeks and continues to benefit the plant for its lifetime.
Standard rootgrow™ (green packs, orange rootgrow™ Gel packs and Professional tubs) is suitable for all fruit plants except blueberries and cranberries. These acid-loving plants require rootgrow™ Ericoid, specially developed for ericaceous plants. Both products are applied in the same way.
How to use rootgrow™ on container grown plants
- Dig a hole large enough for the root ball.
- Sprinkle the recommended amount of rootgrow™ into the base of the hole.
- Position the plant so the roots sit directly on the granules.
- Backfill, firm gently and water well.
How to use rootgrow™ on bare root plants
For bare root trees and plants, either add the granules to the planting hole or dampen the roots and sprinkle the granules directly onto them before planting.
If planting a large quantity of plants, use rootgrow™ Gel or a Professional tub with the included gel sachet to help the mycorrhizal fungi adhere to the roots. Dip the roots into the prepared gel, plant immediately, backfill and water thoroughly.
