What is Rootgrow?
Rootgrow is a mycorrhizal fungi treatment that works by establishing a symbiotic relationship with plant roots. Once applied at planting, the fungi grow alongside the root system, extending its reach and improving access to water and nutrients in the soil.
This natural process helps plants establish more quickly and improves long-term growth performance.
How Does Rootgrow Work?
After application, Rootgrow attaches to the plant’s root system and develops a network of fungal threads within the soil. These threads act as an extension of the roots, allowing plants to access nutrients and moisture beyond their normal reach.
This results in improved establishment, especially in poor or challenging soil conditions.
Benefits of Using Rootgrow
Rootgrow provides several key benefits when planting.
It supports faster root establishment, improves nutrient uptake, and helps plants become more drought tolerant. It is particularly useful for newly planted trees, hedging, and shrubs where strong early root development is essential.
Because it works naturally within the soil, Rootgrow continues to benefit plants long after planting.
How to Use Rootgrow
Rootgrow must be applied directly to the roots at the time of planting.
It can be sprinkled into the planting hole or applied directly onto bare roots before backfilling with soil. For best results, ensure direct contact between the product and the root system.
Rootgrow is a one-time application at planting and does not need to be reapplied.
When to Use Rootgrow
Rootgrow should be used at the point of planting.
It is suitable for use throughout the planting season, including when planting bare root, rootball, or container-grown plants. Using Rootgrow at planting helps maximise establishment success and supports long-term growth.
Rootgrow for Trees, Hedging and Landscaping
Rootgrow is widely used in both domestic and commercial planting projects.
It is particularly effective for bare root and rootball hedging, specimen trees, shrubs, and roses. Landscapers and contractors often use Rootgrow to improve establishment rates and reduce plant losses.
