RHS Rootgrow Ericoid Mycorrhizal Fungi

RHS Rootgrow Ericoid Mycorrhizal Fungi

Rootgrow™ Ericoid Mycorrhizal Fungi is formulated with ericoid and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi - tailored for use every time you plant out acid-loving plants.

It is best used with plants such as rhododendrons, azaleas, heathers, camellias, blueberries and cranberries.

Use when planting out to form a natural symbiotic relationship with plant roots - enhancing the plant’s ability to access water and nutrients in acidic soils.

Where acid-loving plants have previously struggled to establish themselves in your soil, Rootgrow™ Ericoid can be highly beneficial.

This product is endorsed and produced under licence from the RHS. A 10ml scoop is included for easy (and accurate) dosing.

Directions for use

This product is only to be used when planting out new plants. Empathy advises that Rootgrow™ Ericoid granules must come into direct contact with the roots to be effective:

1. Dig your planting hole as normal.
2. Sprinkle Rootgrow™ Ericoid evenly into the base of the hole. Use the guidelines for application rates below.
3. Place the plant so the roots come into direct contact with the granules.
4. Backfill with soil and water well.

1 scoop ≈ 10ml. Roughly follow these amounts depending on your pot size:

- 2L - 2 scoops (20ml)
- 5L - 4 scoops (40ml)
- 10L / 15L- 7 scoops (70ml)
- 25L - 12 scoops (120ml)
- 50L - 16 scoops (160ml)

For seeds and bulbs, sprinkle Rootgrow™ into the planting hole or trench.

Rootgrow™ can be used alongside slow-release fertilisers.

Once established, the fungi should persist for the life of the plant.
