Review: Prevents Plant Dehydration - This mycorryzal fungus works very well. It's best applied to the planting hole but you can water it in over time for existing plants. Growth rates are similar with Chiles and other potted culinary plants but they recover from heat and drought stress faster, leading to more production across the growing season. A little goes a long way so one bag could last multiple seasons depending on how much you grow.
Review: Marvelous ! - My new bare root roses, holly bushes, hibiscus trees, and crape myrtles were from a mail-order. I don't drive so these are the risks I must take, so they arrived small. It took over a week to get my roses during the extremely hot weather. When the bare-root roses finally arrived, they were in poor shape. I planted them with fresh garden dirt, worm castings dirt, and used plant transplant shock liquid treatment. I just didn't like the look of them. Also, this is the second crape myrtle, holly bushes, and roses I had to replace from last year. They were starting off poorly. I just didn't like the looks of any of them. I read about this product and the great reviews. I thought what do I have to lose? This product is very pricey, but oh what an improvement! I put some in the dugged-out hole so the roots would absorb the product. I spread more of this fertilizer on top every few days and everything is doing so much better. Plants that are over a year old that looked sluggish are now finally looking better. I highly recommend this product. I do recommend fresh garden dirt and worm castings dirt when planting. I still think this product pushed everything to become much stronger.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How much is the quantity offered, how much distance in rows, or beds does this cover?**
A: This is a 1lb bag. You only use about one tbls per large pot or a tsp for seedlings. I think this lasted me around 2 dozen 3-5 gallon potted plants. Hope this helps.

**Q: Is this organic?**
A: It’s natural and organic. Works very well from my experience.

**Q: Is this good for succulents or should I use something else?**
A: I suspect this is likely 100% Glomus Intraradices from a broad range isolate of lowlands or a plains variety.  You probably will want to research where you can get a Glomus Deserticola (Movave) or some similar isolate that is more tailored to use with desert species plants.  Hope it helps!

**Q: Could I use this to fertilize microgreens if I'm using a natural fiber grow mat?**
A: I can't say for sure.  The root enhancer is granules. I used it to strengthen the roots of sweet potato slips I planted in a container bag.  The sweet potatoes had healthy roots and I had a good harvest.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best planting additive
*by S***L on November 19, 2025*

I’ve used this for the past several years, with EVERYTHING that I plant. So easy to use and comes with a little measuring spoon. You don’t use much so the value for the money is awesome. I add it in along with fertilizer too. All of my plants grow faster and larger.
