Why use mycorrhizae?
Transplant 1-step contains all the ingredients for the successful transplanting of trees and shrubs. The balanced combination of mycorrhiza and bio
stimulators protects and strengthens the plant.
• Water-buffering gel prevents the risk of losing plants as a result of drought.
• Improves the absorbency of nutrients.
• Stimulates root development.
• Increases stress tolerance.
• Enhances the natural resistance.
• Extends the life of previously planted trees.
• 100% organic.
• 100% safe for humans, animals and the environment.
