Default Mycorhize

This is a new product that is out. They named it MYKE . This is one of
the best 100% naturel. Myke is a growth supplement. What is myke??

Myke is a beneficial fugus on a carrier.The fungus associates with

plant
roots and increases phosphorus uptakes.They work together like a team.One
makes the other one work. You only have to apply this pruduct once and

when
the plant is gone the fugus stays alive in the ground. The next year you
won't have to put this in the ground. This fugus triples the root of

almost
any plant. Some exceptions.

Let me know if you've worked with this very good product


Not used that product but as I grow a few orchids, including hardy ones, I
will have worked with mycorrhizae as they are needed for orchid seed to
germinate successfully in nature. Which it does in some of my other garden
pots, especially pots of lilies (?).
Therefore I have to believe lilies must also utilise a mycorrhiza fungus,
indeed the same one as needed by my Dactylorhisa seedlings. Which is why,
when I repot, I always use a proportion of the old compost too, so ensuring
the fungus is transferred to the new pot.
Sounds as if this product would make growing hardy/native orchids from seed
a bit less a matter of luck. (That's unless you happen to have a fully
kitted out laboratory)
