Know before you buy
Mykos Pure contains a single, highly aggressive species of fungi, Rhizophagus intraradices. This focus allows for faster colonization of the root system compared to multi-species blends, ensuring your plants establish a symbiotic relationship more quickly.
While Mykos is organic, it can be used alongside synthetic fertilizers. However, be mindful that high levels of synthetic phosphorus can sometimes inhibit the development of mycorrhizal fungi, so it is best to use them in moderation.
The most effective way to apply Mykos is to ensure the powder makes direct contact with the roots during transplanting. You can dust the root ball directly or coat the bottom of the planting hole before placing the plant inside.
Mykos is designed primarily for soil and soil-less media where the fungi can colonize a root structure. It is not recommended for deep water culture or systems where the roots are fully submerged in water, as the fungi require oxygen to thrive.
Yes, by expanding the root surface area and improving water uptake, Mykos helps plants recover from transplant shock more efficiently. It creates a more resilient root system that is better equipped to handle environmental stressors.
Because the fungi colonize the roots and grow with the plant, you typically only need to apply it once during the initial planting or transplanting phase. One application is generally sufficient to support the plant throughout its life cycle.
