Mycorrhizae is a fungi that creates a joint bond with your plants. They can aid a lot in a number of stages of life.
This fungus gives new or recently moved plants a head start on life, and can help buffer stresses from the environment.
Mycorrhizae Definition
This fungus goes by a few other names such as beneficial bacteria and root occulant. It grows in the root zone of the plant. It forms a close bond with the plant by making a network of fibers from the plant's original roots. This helps aid in nutrient and water uptake, reaching areas and nutrients the plant originally was unable to.
Mycorrhizae benefits include:
- More strength against stresses and disease
- Higher success rate when moving to a new environment
- Stronger plants with large numbers of buds due to more efficient nutrient uptake
- Less irrigation needs. Save gallons of water!
