Piranha Beneficial Fungi Root Additive – Advanced Nutrients

Type: Biological
Living microbes or natural enzymes rather than a feed. They work on the root zone itself, so they pair with any base nutrient.

A Fungal Workforce for Your Roots

In healthy soil, roots never work alone. Beneficial fungi wrap around and into them, stretching the root system's reach far further than the roots could go by themselves and bringing back water and nutrients in exchange for a little sugar.

Piranha puts that partnership into your pots. It carries beneficial fungi, including ecto- and endomycorrhizae, which colonise the roots, break nutrients into plant-available forms and help plants cope with stress.

Why It Works

• Ectomycorrhizae: form a sheath around roots, expanding their absorbing surface
• Endomycorrhizae: penetrate root cells and carry nutrients directly into the plant
• Balanced root zone: beneficial fungi crowd out problems and recycle root waste
• Stress tolerance: better resilience to drought and temperature swings

For Houseplant & Garden Growers

Mycorrhizal fungi are why plants in the ground often outgrow the same plant in a pot of sterile compost. Piranha is ideal for repotting houseplants, potting on veg plants, and anything growing in coco or other inert mixes that start life with no fungi at all.

For Growers

• Dose: 2ml per litre
• When: the first weeks of growth and again early in flowering, when roots are expanding fastest
• Avoid: strong sterilisers such as hydrogen peroxide in the same feed, which kill beneficial fungi
• Pairs with: Voodoo Juice, the bacterial half of the team

🌿 Rose's Pro-Tip: Fungi and bacteria work as a pair. Use Piranha alongside Voodoo Juice and feed them both with a carbohydrate such as CarboLoad, and your root zone becomes a self-running ecosystem.
