MitoGrow™ Tree and Shrub

How to Use MitoGrow™ When Planting Trees & Shrubs

• 1. Dig the hole: Make it 2–3× wider than the root ball, same depth. Loosen surrounding soil so roots can spread easily.
• 2. Prep the plant: Gently loosen circling roots. If rootbound, make a few vertical cuts to encourage outward growth.
• 3. Position correctly: Set the plant so the top of the root ball is level with or slightly above ground. Do not bury the trunk flare.
• 4. Backfill soil: Use native soil. Firm lightly—don’t compact hard.
• 5. Water with MitoGrow™: Mix according to label. Slowly soak the root zone until soil is evenly moist (not muddy). This is critical—water deeply to remove air pockets.
• 6. Mulch: Add 2–3 inches around the base, keeping it a few inches away from the trunk.

Ongoing Care

• Watering: For the first 2–4 weeks, water deeply 2–3 times per week. After that, reduce to once weekly depending on weather. Always soak deeply rather than frequent shallow watering.
• Using MitoGrow™: Reapply during stress (heat, transplanting, storms) or every 4–6 weeks during the growing season to support root development and recovery.
• Fertilizing: Avoid heavy fertilizer at planting. Wait until new growth appears, then feed lightly if needed.
• Monitoring: Watch for wilting or yellowing—adjust watering first before adding more products.

Container Planting (Patio)

• Use a pot with drainage holes.
• Fill with quality potting mix (not garden soil).
• Water with MitoGrow™ after planting and keep soil consistently moist, not soggy.
• Containers dry faster—check daily in warm weather.

Use MitoGrow™ at planting, after transplanting, and anytime your plant needs recovery or a growth boost.

MitoGrow™ Tree and Shrub FAQs

• 1. What does MitoGrow™ Tree and Shrub do?
  MitoGrow™ helps trees and shrubs use the nutrients already in your soil more efficiently. Instead of piling on extra fertilizer, it supports stronger root development, quicker establishment, fuller growth, and better resilience during everyday landscape stress.
• 2. When should I use MitoGrow™?
  It works especially well at planting time, during transplanting, and anytime your trees or shrubs are under pressure from heat, drought, or seasonal stress. It is also a smart fit for routine maintenance when you want to support long-term plant performance.
• 3. Can I use MitoGrow™ with my regular fertilizer program?
  Yes. MitoGrow™ is designed to work alongside your existing fertilizer routine. Think of it as a support system rather than a replacement—it helps plants make better use of what is already available, so your landscape can grow with less wasted effort.
• 4. Is MitoGrow™ only for new plantings?
  No. New trees and shrubs are great candidates because they need a strong start, but established plants can benefit too. It can help give mature landscape plantings a boost, encourage fuller canopy growth, and support recovery in stressed or struggling plants.
• 5. What types of plants is MitoGrow™ best for?
  MitoGrow™ is formulated for trees and shrubs in the landscape. It is a good choice for newly planted specimens, foundation shrubs, ornamental trees, privacy screens, and other woody plants that need help settling in and staying strong through the seasons. Harvesting and pollination do not apply to this product, since it is intended for ornamental and landscape use rather than fruit or vegetable production.
