£10.80

A 100% organic microbial inoculant that mixes with irrigation water to establish and maintain beneficial microlife around the root zone.

Aptus Micromix Drip is a concentrated microbial powder developed for growers who want to introduce beneficial microorganisms through watering or irrigation. Unlike Micromix Soil, which is mixed directly into the growing medium, Micromix Drip dissolves in water so established plants can be inoculated without disturbing the substrate.

The formulation combines selected beneficial microorganisms with stimulants, including polysaccharides that help stimulate microbial activity. Aptus selects the microorganisms according to their function and treats them to remain stable during storage, allowing them to become active after application.

Establishing a healthy microbial population can improve conditions around the roots. Aptus explains that enzymes produced by beneficial bacteria help decompose accumulated nutrient salts, while a healthy population of beneficial microorganisms helps protect the root system from undesirable microorganisms.

Micromix Drip is mixed at 1g per litre of water and applied to the substrate by irrigation or pouring. A 100g pouch therefore prepares approximately 100 litres of microbial solution at the standard application rate.

Why choose Aptus Micromix Drip?

  • Introduces beneficial microlife – supplies selected microorganisms directly to the growing medium through irrigation or watering.
  • Supports the root zone – helps establish a healthier biological environment around developing and established roots.
  • Contains microbial stimulants – polysaccharides help stimulate beneficial microlife within the substrate.
  • Supports rooting and growth – Aptus developed Micromix to encourage healthy rooting and plant development.
  • Helps manage accumulated nutrient salts – enzymes produced by beneficial bacteria help decompose nutrient salts that have built up within the substrate.
  • Supports natural root protection – healthy populations of beneficial microorganisms help protect roots from undesirable fungi and bacteria.
  • Water-applied formula – ideal for established plants because the substrate does not need to be disturbed for application.
  • Suitable for irrigation or hand watering – the prepared solution can be delivered to the growing medium through either method.
  • Suitable for different substrates – Aptus states that Micromix can be used with all types of growing substrate.
  • 100% organic – provides a biological approach to maintaining a healthy root-zone environment.

What is Aptus Micromix Drip suitable for?

Micromix Drip is designed for introducing and maintaining beneficial microbial populations in the growing medium through irrigation or hand watering. This makes it particularly useful once plants are already established and mixing a dry inoculant throughout the substrate is no longer practical.

It can be used with different growing substrates and is especially useful where growers want to support a biologically active root zone without disturbing established plants.

Micromix Drip can also follow an initial application of Micromix Soil. Aptus recommends Micromix Soil when preparing substrate or planting, with Micromix Drip available as the water-applied treatment for maintaining beneficial microlife later.

It is not a conventional base fertiliser. Its primary purpose is to introduce and stimulate beneficial microorganisms within the root environment, complementing the plant's normal nutrition programme rather than replacing it.

How to use Aptus Micromix Drip

Mix 1g of Aptus Micromix Drip per 1 litre of water. Stir the solution thoroughly until the powder is completely dissolved, then apply the prepared solution to the growing medium through irrigation or normal watering.

For 10L of water, use 10g. For 25L, use 25g. For 50L, use 50g. A full 100g pouch prepares approximately 100L of solution.

Aptus recommends applying Micromix Drip at the start of the microbial treatment programme and repeating approximately every 30 days where continued inoculation is required.

If Micromix Soil has already been incorporated into the growing medium at planting or transplanting, Micromix Drip can be used as a later water-applied treatment to maintain beneficial microbial activity without disturbing the substrate.

Always mix the powder thoroughly before application so that Micromix Drip is fully dispersed throughout the water.

How often should I use Aptus Micromix Drip?

Aptus recommends applying Micromix Drip at the start of treatment and repeating approximately every 30 days where continued microbial inoculation is required.

Can Aptus Micromix Drip be used through irrigation?

Yes. Micromix Drip is specifically designed to be mixed with water and delivered to the substrate through irrigation or normal watering.

Does Aptus Micromix Drip need to dissolve before use?

Yes. Add 1g per litre of water and stir thoroughly until the Micromix Drip powder is completely dissolved before applying the solution.

Is Aptus Micromix Drip a fertiliser?

Micromix Drip is better described as a microbial inoculant rather than a conventional base fertiliser. Its main purpose is to establish and stimulate beneficial microlife in the root zone.

What is the difference between Aptus Micromix Soil and Micromix Drip?

Micromix Soil is mixed directly through the growing medium or placed in the planting hole, making it ideal when preparing substrate or transplanting. Micromix Drip is dissolved in water and applied through irrigation or watering, making it better suited to treating established plants and maintaining beneficial microlife later.

Can Micromix Drip be used after Micromix Soil?

Yes. Micromix Drip is designed to complement the substrate-applied Micromix Soil treatment. Once plants are established, Micromix Drip provides a straightforward way to introduce further beneficial microorganisms through watering without disturbing the root zone.

What is the difference between Aptus Micromix Drip and Mycor Mix?

Micromix Drip introduces a mixture of beneficial microorganisms and stimulants through irrigation water. Mycor Mix is a different product based on beneficial mycorrhizal fungi and is applied directly around the roots at planting. They perform different but complementary biological roles within the root zone.
