They grow rapidly in search of water and nutrients, and as they're finer than the plant's coarse roots, they’re better at reaching them - helping plants thrive in even difficult soils.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn poor sandy soil, they track down scarce nutrients and water, and in dense clay soil they unlock nutrients, acting like a clay breaker. They're great at hunting down phosphorus and potassium for flowering and fruiting, but also thrive on finding trace elements. And they hold onto water like a sponge, giving your plants far better drought tolerance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Bag \/ 1kg","offer_id":48736593707265,"sku":"ZNV0D 4818124636194","price":8.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0818\/1540\/4801\/files\/after-plant-tree-shrub.jpg?v=1777968472","url":"https:\/\/futureforests-us.com\/products\/rhs-empathy-afterplant-tree-shrub","provider":"Future-Forests","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
