MYKE mycorrhizae help plants establish faster by improving root development and supporting better access to water and soil nutrients. Used at planting time, this natural solution encourages vigorous growth, improves resilience, and helps trees, shrubs, annuals, perennials and edible gardens thrive in a more balanced and living soil.
Using MYKE mycorrhizae to plant and repot is a simple way to help plants establish more naturally from the very beginning. MYKE works directly with plant roots by introducing beneficial mycorrhizae, microscopic fungi naturally found in healthy soils. This living relationship helps roots explore the soil more efficiently and improves access to water and essential nutrients from the moment of planting or repotting.
In many gardens and landscaped areas, soil life is often reduced by repeated disturbance, compaction or construction work. Adding MYKE when you plant or repot is a natural and effective way to support stronger establishment for trees, shrubs, annuals, perennials and edible crops, while encouraging a more balanced and resilient soil structure.
For best results, apply MYKE mycorrhizae directly in contact with the root ball when planting or repotting. Moistening the root mass and gently rubbing the powder onto it helps the mycorrhizae adhere where they can begin working most effectively.
A planting hole can look simple from above, yet everything happens below the surface. When roots quickly connect with a living soil, plants adapt faster, experience less stress, and settle into the landscape with greater confidence. That is where MYKE becomes especially valuable in the garden, in containers, and in landscape projects.
By bringing mycorrhizae into direct contact with the roots, MYKE helps support a more efficient underground network. The result is not just stronger early growth, but a more stable foundation for trees, shrubs, annuals, perennials and vegetable crops that need to establish well from the start.
A plant that roots in quickly can begin adapting to its new environment with less delay. MYKE supports this early establishment phase, which is especially important after transplanting trees, shrubs and perennials into newly prepared soil.
When roots explore the soil more efficiently, plants are generally better equipped to access available moisture. This can help reduce water stress and support more consistent growth during warm periods.
A stronger start often means better resilience. MYKE helps plants face the transition from pot to ground or from nursery to landscape with a more favorable root environment from the first day.
Beyond the plant itself, MYKE contributes to a more active soil ecosystem. A living, better-structured soil can help limit erosion and support long-term garden performance in both ornamental and edible spaces.
Safe for health and the environment, MYKE fits naturally into a more thoughtful approach to planting. It does not force growth artificially; it helps plants reconnect with a biological process that already exists in healthy soils.
At planting time, the root zone is where everything begins. A denser, more active root system helps plants establish more efficiently in the garden, supporting better contact with soil moisture and available nutrients throughout the growing season. In a well-prepared planting area, root development becomes one of the most important foundations for healthy, vigorous growth.
As fine feeder roots multiply around the main roots, the underground network becomes broader, more efficient and better adapted to support long-term plant performance. Whether for trees, shrubs, perennials or seasonal plantings, a stronger root system helps create more resilient, stable and successful plantings from the start.
Not every planting project has the same needs. A tree settling into the landscape, a flowering planter on a terrace, and a vegetable garden in full production all benefit from a planting aid designed for their reality. This is why the MYKE range is divided into clear product families that make selection simple and effective.
Grouping the products this way also helps customers choose the right mycorrhizae at the right time, whether they are planting shrubs, refreshing containers, building a perennial bed or starting an edible garden.
Designed for flowering planters, annual beds and ornamental containers, this formula supports rooting while helping flowering plants settle in quickly after planting.
A smart choice for annual flowers and decorative plantings that need a strong start in pots, window boxes and beds.

Once MYKE is placed near the root zone at planting time, the real work begins below the surface. This is where young roots establish, spread and build the foundation for stronger, more stable growth in the garden.
Placed where the young root system can come into direct contact with it, MYKE acts at the most important moment of planting: the establishment phase. In this first stage, the root zone becomes more active and better positioned to support the plant as it adapts to its new environment.
As the plant settles in, fine feeder roots and secondary rootlets become essential to how efficiently it explores the soil. A denser and more developed root environment helps support more balanced growth for trees, shrubs, perennials and many edible garden plants.
The action begins right in the planting hole, where the young roots need it most.
A denser underground network helps the plant interact more efficiently with the surrounding soil.
Better early establishment supports healthier, more stable growth through the season.
MYKE is used at the most important moment in the planting process: when the root ball goes into the soil. For the product to be effective, it should be placed where young roots will come into direct contact with it. The goal is simple: position it right at root level, in the planting hole or around the root ball, depending on the plant and format used.
This approach fits naturally into the planting routine for trees, shrubs, perennials and many ornamental or edible garden plants. A clean, well-positioned application supports better establishment from the beginning, without making the planting process more complicated.
Dig the planting hole according to the size of the root ball and make sure the soil is ready before application.
Place MYKE directly in the root zone so the product is in close contact with the young roots.
Install the plant in position, then refill with soil so the root ball is well surrounded and stable.
Finish with a good watering to settle the soil around the roots and complete the planting properly.
Planting success begins below the surface, where roots must quickly adapt to a new soil environment and begin building the network that will support the plant through the season. Used at planting time and positioned directly in the root zone, MYKE fits naturally into that critical first step. By helping support stronger root development from the beginning, it encourages better establishment, a more active underground system and a healthier foundation for long-term growth. Whether the planting involves trees, shrubs, perennials or edible garden plants, this simple addition at the right moment helps create stronger, more confident results in the garden.
