How to Apply Your Bio-Tone Starter

  • Flower Beds:  Mix into the top 4-6″ of soil prior to planting.

  • Container Plantings:  Mix thoroughly into the soil mix prior to planting.

    I was a little apprehensive about ordering a shrub through the mail.However I just loved the Kaleidoscope Abelia and was unable to find it anywhere to purchase in store so I took the chance. I’m elated to say it arrived in perfect condition! EXTREMLEY well packaged and the plant itself looked like it was just store bought. Also purchased the Bio-Start. My husband planted it as directed & it’s looking great! Would definitely recommend.

    I agree with the reviewer who said “tops”. This is an excellent azalea starter.

  3. Ron (verified owner)

    Bio-Tone is high quality because it is organic and provides the right nutrients for small plants. Micorhizae in Bio-Tone is especially important because it helps the small hair roots take up nutrients. Myco is another brand that I started using 19 years ago in Florida.

    I ordered 5 of these to go with the plants I ordered. I did not receive any of them.

    This is helpful to get the plants off and running.

    Was disappointed that it did not tell me I would need the entire package for one plant so had to split this one between 3 plants.

    One of these 5oz. bags is good for up to a 2 gallon plant; 2 bags for 5 gallon; 4 bags for 15 gallon. These are fantastic to add to your plant order, especially if you are getting just one or two plants. Makes starting your new plants off to be a success easy. Like that it’s all natural with mycorrhizae & microbes.
