FAQs

What is mycorrhizal fungi?

Mycorrhizal fungi are beneficial microorganisms that form a symbiotic relationship with plant roots, extending the root system to improve water and nutrient absorption.

How does this product work?

It introduces live mycorrhizal fungi spores to the soil. When these spores come into contact with plant roots, they germinate and form a network, enhancing the plant's ability to access resources.

Can I use this with my existing fertilizer?

Yes, it can be used with most fertilizers. However, very high phosphorus fertilizers may inhibit the establishment of mycorrhizal fungi.

When is the best time to apply Mycorrhizal Fungi Root Fusion?

The best times are during planting (new trees, shrubs, perennials, vegetables) or when preparing soil for new plantings. It can also be applied to established plants by incorporating it near the root zone.

How much product do I need?

Application rates vary: 20g for trees/shrubs, 50g/sq metre for fruit/veg gardens, 10g/sq metre for lawns and perennials/flowering plants.

Is this product safe for edible plants?

Yes, it is safe and beneficial for edible plants, as it helps improve their growth and yield.

How should I store the product?

Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, with the packaging sealed to maintain fungal viability.

Troubleshooting

Visible signs of plant stress (wilting, yellowing) persist after application.

Ensure the product made direct contact with the roots or soil within the root zone. Check for other environmental stressors like over/under-watering, pests, or diseases. Reapply if contact was poor.

Product seems to be clumping or dry.

Store in a cool, dry place in a sealed container. Minor clumping may not affect efficacy, but if it appears completely dried out or inert, contact the supplier.

No noticeable improvement in plant growth.

Mycorrhizal fungi establish over time. Ensure consistent watering and optimal conditions for the plant. Results can vary based on existing soil biology and plant health. Allow several weeks to observe significant changes.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly improves plant establishment and reduces transplant shock.
  • Enhances water and nutrient absorption, leading to healthier growth.
  • Effective in a variety of soil types, including clay and sandy soils.
  • Supports long-term soil health by improving structure, drainage, and aeration.
  • Promotes increased flowering and fruit production.

Cons

  • Requires direct contact with roots or soil around the root zone for maximum efficacy.
  • Results can be influenced by existing soil conditions and environmental factors.
  • Application methods vary depending on the type of plant being treated.
  • Best results are achieved when applied during planting or to actively growing plants.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Application Instructions:

  • Trees and Shrubs: Apply 20g directly to new roots or near the root zone for established plants.
  • Perennials and Flowering Plants: Ensure contact with roots when planting or apply near existing roots.
  • Fruit and Vegetable Gardens: Mix 50g per square meter into the soil before planting.
  • Lawns: Use 10g per square meter before seeding or apply after aeration for existing lawns.

Compatibility:

This product is compatible with most soil types and can be used in conjunction with other organic soil amendments. It is generally suitable for use with plants that benefit from mycorrhizal associations, which includes most common garden plants, trees, shrubs, and vegetables. Avoid using with plants that are naturally averse to mycorrhizal fungi or in soils with extremely high phosphorus levels, which can inhibit colonization.

Care:

Store the product in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure the packaging is sealed after each use to maintain the viability of the fungi. While the product is designed for long-term soil health, it is not a substitute for regular watering and appropriate plant care.
