Care guide

Advice on hot and droopy plants

If your plants are looking a little wilted right now, don't worry! Plants like to be filled with water to keep their structure, and when it's hot that water evaporates.

Just give them an off-schedule watering and they'll be right as rain in no time! Be careful not to flood them - plants don't like extremes.

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 truly massive 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, a beneficial relationship that will persist throughout the life of the plant. A healthy plant with an established root system in a functional soil needs less intervention, chemical or physical.

Supported by the Royal Horticultural Society

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

Benefits Superior water and nutrient uptake with enhanced natural vigour, more abundant flowers and heavier cropping Plants. Need less synthetic fertiliser and will survive better in dry conditions. Added resilience in overcoming replant problems and disease.
