This mycorrhizal fungi root enhancer is a UK-formulated soil treatment designed to support healthy root development and improve plant growth. Suitable for trees, shrubs, flowers, fruit, vegetables and lawns, it helps plants absorb water and essential nutrients more efficiently. Apply directly to the root zone to encourage stronger establishment, improved yields and greater plant resilience.
Mycorrhizal Fungi for Healthy Root Development
Beneficial mycorrhizal fungi form a natural association with plant roots, creating an extended network within the soil. This supports root establishment when planting new trees, perennials and garden plants, helping them develop a stronger foundation for long-term growth.
Improve Nutrient and Water Absorption
The fungal network increases the area from which plants can access moisture and nutrients, particularly in dry or poor soil conditions. Suitable for clay and sandy soils, this plant root enhancer helps maintain healthy development throughout the growing season, including during drier weather.
Support Flowering, Fruit Production and Soil Health
Improved nutrient uptake can encourage flowering and fruit formation in edible crops and ornamental plants. The fungi also contribute to soil structure, supporting drainage and aeration in garden beds, allotments and containers.
Benefits of Using Mycorrhizal Fungi
- Encourages stronger, healthier root systems
- Improves access to water and essential soil nutrients
- Supports plant establishment and early growth
- Helps increase flowering and fruit production
- Contributes to improved soil structure
- Suitable for a wide range of UK garden plants
- UK-formulated for garden use
How to Apply Mycorrhizal Fungi
For best results, apply the fungi directly to the root zone to encourage contact with plant roots.
- Trees and shrubs: Apply 20g directly to new roots or near the root zone of established plants.
- Perennials and flowering plants: Ensure contact with roots when planting or apply close to existing roots.
- Fruit and vegetables: Mix 50g per square metre into the soil before planting.
- Lawns: Apply 10g per square metre before seeding or after aerating an established lawn.
Mycorrhizal Fungi Frequently Asked Questions
What are mycorrhizal fungi?
Mycorrhizal fungi are beneficial soil organisms that form a natural relationship with plant roots, helping them access water and nutrients from a wider area of soil.
Can mycorrhizal fungi be used on all garden plants?
This root treatment is suitable for most common garden plants, including fruit, vegetables, trees, shrubs, perennials and lawns.
When is the best time to apply mycorrhizal fungi?
Apply during planting or at the beginning of the growing season. For established plants, place the treatment near the roots when the soil is moist.
Does mycorrhizal fungi work in clay or sandy soil?
Yes, the fungi can help improve nutrient access and support soil structure in both heavy clay and free-draining sandy conditions.
How often should mycorrhizal fungi be applied?
A single application at planting is usually sufficient. Reapplication may be beneficial if the soil has been heavily disturbed or replaced.
