# Has Anyone ever used mycorrhizal fungi? I'm getting an order of it…

Has Anyone ever used mycorrhizal fungi? I'm getting an order of it soon and I'm not sure if the best approach would be making it into tea, putting it on the roots, etc. I'm also not certain if plants such as orchids would be suitable for it since their roots are much thicker.

Hi i use it on all my plants and it seems to be working well for me ( i dont have orchids ). I just add a half of a Tea spoon into a gallon of water and i also use liquid fertilizer every time i water. My plants have been growing all winter.

Thank youu!! I'm very excited for root development :D good to know it doesn't react bad if i use fertilizer with it!

Mycorrhizal is amazing. If i repot i sprinkle it on/in where the roots will go. If it's a new plant I don't want to repot yet, i simply work it into the top portion of soil and water it in. The amount of transplant shock I've had is almost zero with this stuff. And root growth is crazy

So Wolfen can you use it similar to a fertilizer or just when repotting or propagating?
