Overview

Enjoy flourishing plants come spring with this RHS-endorsed Rootgrow

Rootgrow™ has become a planting essential for professional and amateur gardeners alike who want to ensure that their bulbs get off to the best start possible. Sprinkle a little when planting to ensure fantastic root growth and all the advantages that come with it. Plants rely on on a vast array of soil microbes to produce and exchange all of the nutrients required for healthy growth, and the most remarkable of these are the mycorrhizal fungi. The benefits of this bulb starter include the following:
  • Superior water and nutrient uptake with enhanced natural vigour.
  • More abundant flowers.
  • The need for less synthetic fertiliser.
  • Improved resilience to dry conditions.
  • A greater resistance to disease.

Application information
Follow these simple steps to planting success with Rootgrow™
  • 1. Dig planting holes at the depth and distance recommended in your bulbs' packaging.
  • 2. Sprinkle the granules over the bottom of the planting hole (using enough granules to cover only that area), and do not mix in.
  • 3. Place the bulbs in their planting holes so they are directly on top of the granules. It is important that the granules come into direct contact with the plant roots.
  • 4. Fill the planting hole as normal with compost or soil, and provide a watering. Also make sure that there are no air gaps near the bulbs.
  • 5. If using additional fertiliser, apply as a top dress or in backfill.
  • 6. Add mulch or top dress as required. 

Specifications

  • Small bulbs or corms: Use 10 - 15g
  • Large bulbs or tubers: Use 10 - 20g

Note: one palm full is approximately 10g

Features

Mycorrhizal Fungi and Your Plant

This quick video will give you a better understanding of what Mycorrhizal Fungi is and how it can help your plant. This remarkable symbiotic relationship will work wonders for your garden.

How Does It Work?

Once joined with the plant, this fungi will travel through the soil, creating a significant root system. This 'hybrid' root system is highly efficient at finding nutrients from places where a plant's root cannot travel, releasing soil bound chemicals (including those from our trusted fertilisers), and transporting these back to its partner. As such, a beneficial relationship is created that will persist throughout the life of the plant.

Supported by the Royal Horticultural Society

RHS Gardeners endorse Rootgrow™ because Rootgrow™ treated plants establish better with more vigour, replant more successfully, have better developed root systems, and cope better with drought conditions.
