Myco Mix - magic mix with Mycorrhiza

A word from the owner...
...When I first started growing tropical fruit trees, I noticed that Lychee just can't be grown from seed, period. The seed germinates readily, a little happy seedling grows like crazy... but only for the first couple weeks. Then it stops. Then it shrinks. Then it dies.
My teacher, tropical fruit tree expert Murray Corman (Garden of Delights), made fun of me for growing Lychee from seed, and explained his sarcasm with two words - "Need Mycorrhiza!" It appears that in Nature, Lychee seedlings can only grow around its mother plant which has this magic plant-friendly fungus around its roots! The only way to succeed with some seedlings is using this amazing Nature symbiosis... Check out Mycorrhiza - and try it, works 100% in all stubborn cases!

Pisces- 2/19 - 3/20. As a WATER sign ruled by both Jupiter and Moon (and Neptune, that was not discovered until 1846, after the plant correspondences were established; Neptune is considered a "higher octave" of the Moon), Pisces plants are often large but hard to find, and may grow near the ocean. The most healing plants for Pisces are those that strengthen the immune system or have an antibacterial effect. Pisces plants may also catalyze expanded states of awareness and be helpful in dream work.
Herbs connected to Pisces are ruled by its former ruler, the Moon (Neptune, the current ruler, was not discovered until 1846, after the plant correspondences were established; Neptune is considered a “higher octave” of the Moon). Diseases of Pisces have traditionally included psychotic disorders, various forms of substance addiction, lung diseases such as tuberculosis, and ailments of the foot; contemporary herbalists also add immune system diseases.

Never rely solely on your sprinkler system when planting a new tree, especially during the first week or even several weeks if you have no rain. By rain, we mean a nice downpour. Here in Florida, we usually have a hot and dry spring, and while springtime is great for starting new trees, additional hose-watering becomes essential for establishing them during the first months.
