From our friends at Sol Soils!

Sol Biotics - Mycorrhizae is a similar concept to taking pro biotics for your own gut health. These 4 species of Mycorrhizae [my-kuh-rai-zee] are beneficial fungi which form a symbiotic relationship with the plant and increase the surface area of root systems which may aid in nutrient and water absorption.

Our Sol Biotics lines are designed to give you options of a limited set of complimentary items to use all year round on all your plants without the worry of misusing them by accident and burning or hurting your plants. 

Includes a desert dwelling Mycorrhizae species adapted to survive for drier plant species or maybe one of those times you go on a longer vacation or forget to water. Includes Bacillus, a beneficial bacteria known to better prepare plants to handle stress and guard against potential pathogens.

 

DIRECTIONS

Apply once a month, but no harm would be done to increase or decrease the frequency a bit around this level. Just do what works for your plant care style while still regularly supplementing this product for your plants.

Watering In: Mix one to three teaspoons (scoop included) per gallon of water based on desired strength and apply to soil at base of plants. (The stronger doses [2-3 tsp] can be used as needed without harm.)

Repotting: For transplants you can also dip the plant's root system in this solution or just touch damp roots in dry product, then water thoroughly after repotting.

 

*Pro Tip - Use a gallon water jug as your basic gallon measuring and mixing vessel for all Sol Biotics products. You can simply shake it all up together and use that jug to fill whatever watering can you like to use for your collection! Generally you can store anything water soluble for a day or two in the water solution.
