Bring ‘em, up right! Mother Earth Root Down Plant Starter Mix (3-6-3) is a granular fertilizer with elevated phosphorus to encourage vigorous root development in seedlings, young plants, and transplants.

The early stages of a plant's life are critical for establishing a robust root system, which is the cornerstone of future yields and health. Mother Earth® Root Down solves the challenge of weak starts. This potent mix, featuring nourishing ingredients like alfalfa meal, fish bone meal, and kelp meal, feeds your plants the primary and secondary nutrients they need. Its elevated phosphorus content (6%) is specifically geared to encourage explosive root growth, which is especially vital for delicate young starts and transplants as they adapt to their new home. Provide the foundational strength now, and prepare to be showered with vegetables, fruits, flowers, and herbs later in life.
