Aptus Mycor Mix Mycorrhizal Root Inoculant – 100g

£15.20
Unit price perEstimated delivery between September 20 and September 22.
A 100% organic mycorrhizal root inoculant designed to establish beneficial fungi around developing roots and improve access to water and nutrients.
Aptus Mycor Mix is a concentrated blend of beneficial mycorrhizal fungi for use when planting or transplanting. Applied directly into the planting hole, the fungal spores are positioned where they can establish a close relationship with the developing root system.
Mycorrhizal fungi work in partnership with plant roots. As the relationship develops, fungal structures effectively extend the area explored by the root system, helping the plant access water and nutrients from a greater volume of growing medium.
Aptus particularly highlights improved nutrient uptake, including phosphorus uptake, as a key benefit of Mycor Mix. The manufacturer also states that established mycorrhizae can dramatically increase the effective reach of the root system.
Unlike a liquid additive that is repeatedly added to the reservoir, Mycor Mix is applied just once. Use 1g per plant directly in the planting hole so the inoculant sits close to the roots from the beginning.
Why choose Aptus Mycor Mix?
- Beneficial mycorrhizal fungi – contains a blend of different mycorrhizal species selected to establish around plant roots.
- Expands the effective root system – fungal structures extend beyond the immediate root zone and increase the area available for nutrient and water uptake.
- Improves nutrient uptake – helps plants access nutrients more efficiently from the surrounding growing medium.
- Particularly useful for phosphorus uptake – Aptus specifically highlights improved phosphorus availability as an important benefit.
- Direct root inoculation – applied into the planting hole so the fungi are positioned immediately alongside developing roots.
- Supports root establishment – ideal for introducing beneficial fungi as plants are planted or transplanted.
- One-time application – only 1g per plant is required at planting rather than repeated reservoir dosing.
- 100% organic – designed to support biologically active growing programmes and healthy root-zone ecology.
- Highly economical – a 100g pouch provides approximately 100 standard 1g plant applications.
What is Aptus Mycor Mix suitable for?
Mycor Mix is intended for use when establishing plants in a suitable growing medium. It is particularly useful during planting and transplanting, when the inoculant can be placed directly beneath or around the root system.
This direct application matters because mycorrhizal fungi need access to living roots to establish their beneficial relationship with the plant. Positioning Mycor Mix in the planting hole gives the spores immediate proximity to the developing root system.
It is a strong addition to soil-based and biologically active growing programmes where growers want to establish beneficial root-zone life from the beginning. Aptus includes Mycor Mix within both its organic and commercial Super Soil programmes.
Mycor Mix is especially relevant where improved root exploration and nutrient uptake are priorities. Rather than supplying a large quantity of nutrients itself, it helps establish the biological relationship that allows the root system to access resources from a wider area of the growing medium.
How to use Aptus Mycor Mix
Apply 1g of Aptus Mycor Mix per plant. Use it once when planting or transplanting.
Prepare the planting hole and place 1g of Mycor Mix directly into the hole before positioning the plant. Place the roots so they come into close contact with the treated area, then fill around the plant with the growing medium as normal.
Direct root contact is important. Mycor Mix is designed to establish a biological relationship between the mycorrhizal fungi and the plant's root system, so placing it close to the roots is preferable to spreading it indiscriminately through a large volume of growing medium.
Mycor Mix is a one-time inoculation rather than a product that needs to be continually added throughout vegetative growth or flowering.
At the standard 1g-per-plant rate, a 100g pouch provides approximately 100 individual plant applications.

Aptus Mycor Mix FAQs
What do mycorrhizal fungi do?
Mycorrhizal fungi form a beneficial relationship with plant roots. Their fungal structures extend into the surrounding growing medium, effectively increasing the area from which the plant can access water and nutrients.
How much Aptus Mycor Mix should I use?
Use 1g of Mycor Mix per plant. Aptus recommends placing it directly into the planting hole before planting or transplanting.
How many plants will 100g of Aptus Mycor Mix treat?
At the standard rate of 1g per plant, a 100g pouch provides approximately 100 individual plant applications.
When should I use Aptus Mycor Mix?
Use Mycor Mix when planting or transplanting. Applying it at this stage allows the fungal inoculant to make direct contact with the developing root system.
How often should I apply Aptus Mycor Mix?
Aptus specifies a single application. Apply 1g per plant directly into the planting hole rather than repeatedly adding it throughout the crop cycle.
Does Aptus Mycor Mix need to touch the roots?
Yes. Mycor Mix is intended to be placed directly in the planting hole so the beneficial fungi have immediate access to the root system. Close root contact helps the mycorrhizal relationship establish effectively.
Does Aptus Mycor Mix improve phosphorus uptake?
Yes. Improved nutrient uptake is one of the main purposes of Mycor Mix, with Aptus specifically highlighting phosphorus uptake as an important benefit.
Is Aptus Mycor Mix organic?
Yes. Aptus describes Mycor Mix as 100% organic.
Is Aptus Mycor Mix a fertiliser?
Mycor Mix is better described as a biological root inoculant rather than a conventional fertiliser. Its role is to introduce beneficial mycorrhizal fungi that work alongside the root system and improve access to nutrients already available in the growing medium.
Can Aptus Mycor Mix help root development?
Yes. Mycor Mix extends the effective reach of the root system through its beneficial fungal network, increasing the area available for water and nutrient uptake.
Can Aptus Mycor Mix be used when transplanting?
Yes. Transplanting is an ideal time to apply Mycor Mix because the inoculant can be positioned directly around the exposed root system before the plant is settled into its new growing medium.
Do I add Aptus Mycor Mix to the nutrient reservoir?
No. The standard Aptus application is 1g per plant placed directly into the planting hole. Mycor Mix is intended for direct substrate and root-zone inoculation rather than routine reservoir dosing.
What is the difference between Aptus Mycor Mix and Micromix?
Mycor Mix is focused on establishing beneficial mycorrhizal fungi around the root system. Aptus Micromix products are broader microbial inoculants intended to establish beneficial soil-borne microlife. They perform related root-zone roles but are different products with different application methods.
