Jericson, Is the granular or powder the Mycorrhizae that you use showing in the photo's of planting up the seedlings? Can this be applied on top of soil or does it have to be used at roots under the soil? Have used a similar product when transplanting my peppers into the ground.

The liquid, this is the neem oil, is this correct?

What is the liquid you are soaking them in?
I have a 2 year okd seedling that is not thriving. It is as big as your 76 day olds! It just sits in the pot and fights of the spider mites. Any hints for me?


they are kept above soil line, and those chopsticks are there support since the roots is very fragile and will break,
liquid im soaking in is just a root hormone, to prevent transplant shocks when transplanting,

show picture of your 2yr old, remove her on the pot rinse her thoroughly and hang her for 1 week to air dry and be dehydrated, after 1 week, soak her in root hormone for couple hours, then plant her in your preferred soil blend, just make sure it drains well so it wont be water logged, then use the root hormone were you soak her in to water the pot,

yes its mychorrhizae, it needs to be in contact with roots,not top dress, nothings gonna happen to that, yes my number one brand is xtreme gardening, for fungis,

liquid is AZOS from xtreme gardening as well, this 2 product is a good combo when transplanting, its a root hormone also
