Description

Contains Rootgrow™, the first and currently the only plant or soil treatment licensed by the Royal Horticultural Society.

After Plant acer feed is a biologically active fertiliser suitable for all garden and pot-grown acers. Containing amino acids, mycorrhizal fungi and soil priobiotics, it provides essential nutrients and enriches soil for strong growth and long-lasting health.

How does Rootgrow work?

Rootgrow mycorrhizal fungi bond to a plant’s roots, effectively becoming part of its root system. They grow rapidly in search of water and nutrients, and as they're finer than the plant's coarse roots, they're better at reaching them - helping plants thrive in even difficult soils.

In poor sandy soil, they track down scarce nutrients and water, and in dense clay soil they unlock nutrients, acting like a clay breaker. They're great at hunting down phosphorus and potassium for flowering and fruiting, but also thrive on finding trace elements. And they hold onto water like a sponge, giving your plants far better drought tolerance.

How to use:

Apply in spring at the first signs of growth, throughout summer as required and as an autumn top dress. If planting, we'd advise using pure Rootgrow, placed in direct contact with your plant's roots, and only applying After Plant as a follow-on treatment.

Plants in the ground:

Apply 1-2 handfuls (25-50g) around the base of the plant, lightly work into the soil and water well. For larger established plants apply 2 handfuls per square metre under the canopy.

Container plants and topiary:

Apply 2-3 handfuls per plant twice yearly. Remove the top 5-10cm (2-4 inches) of soil from the top of the pot and replace with fresh compost once a year, adding 1-2 handfuls when replacing the compost.

Key features:

  • Suitable for all pot and garden-grown acers
  • Feeds both plant and soil
  • Stronger, healthier growth and improved disease resistance
