Frequently Asked Questions
Can overwatering damage healthy plant roots?
Excessive watering can result in root rot, a fungal disease that develops when roots become saturated with water and are deprived of oxygen. This can result in root decay and eventual plant death. Overwatering diminishes the oxygen levels in the soil, causing harm to delicate roots and hindering the plants ability to absorb water. Root rot can impede the plant's ability to uptake nutrients and water, leading to stunted growth.In order to avoid overwatering, make sure to wait until the top inch of soil is dry before watering. Additionally, lift the pot occasionally to gauge its weight - the soil will become lighter as the plant absorbs water. To help dry out overwatered soil, consider mixing in hydrated lime and compost, then aerating the soil by turning it.
What does organic-mineral additive mean?
An organic-mineral additive is a substance that combines organic and mineral components to improve the properties of a material. These additives enhance the performance, durability, or functionality of a product. Organic materials come from living organisms or carbon-based compounds like plant extracts or biopolymers. They can enhance biological activity, such as soil fertility or water retention. Mineral components are typically inorganic substances like clay, silica, or calcium, which improve physical properties like strength or moisture resistance. By combining organic and mineral materials, the goal is to create a product with superior performance compared to using either component alone.What are the ingredients of Mills Start-R?

Why should I use Mills Start-R over House & Garden Roots Excelurator?
Start-R is an organo-mineral formula with nitrogen and seaweed extract, promoting strong early vegetative growth and overall plant development from seedling to flowering size. Roots Excelurator focuses purely on maximising root mass and health with a proprietary blend. Choose based on desired specific benefits.Can I use Mills Start-R and House & Garden Roots Excelurator together?
It's generally not recommended. Both are root stimulators with overlapping functions. Using them together risks nutrient imbalance, over-fertilisation, or toxicity, especially for young plants. If attempting, significantly reduce dosages for both and monitor plants extremely closely for stress.SKU: 1294Free delivery on orders over £60*
