- Give your plants the best start and a lifetime of benefits by adding a teaspoon of Empathy RHS Rootgrow Mycorrhizal Fungi when planting or transplanting
- Mycorrhizal fungi are a remarkable group of organisms that have been benefiting plants for at least 500 million years
- These fungi provide a secondary root system that is considerably more efficient and extensive than the plant's own root system
- Mycorrhizal Fungi are living organisms and will live with the plant in a symbiotic relationship for its entire life
- One teaspoon when planting can contain up to 5000 pieces of fungi ready to explode into growth, colonising every millimetre of a plant's roots in just days
- This means that the plant has every chance of establishing itself well and growing earlier and better, and is much better than transplanting from sterile compost into normal soil where there are just not enough fungi
- One treatment lasts for the entire lifetime of the plant
- Mycorrhizal fungi can increase the root capacity of a plant by up to 700 times in just a few months
- As well as better and earlier growth, the plant will also have better drought tolerance, better uptake of fertilisers and increased uptake of sequestered elements
- There is also a reduced chance of plant mortality, making RHS Rootgrow Mycorrhizal Fungi ideal when planting and transplanting plants that are difficult to establish or transplant, such as roses
