May 2, 2025/in Blog, Espoma Videos, Kaleb Wyse

Watch Kaleb Wyse from Wyse Guide as he demonstrates how easy it is to transplant magnolia trees in early spring. Kaleb carefully relocates his saucer magnolias, sharing plant care tips along the way.

Kaleb’s secret to successful transplanting? Mixing Espoma Organic Bio-tone Starter Plus directly into the planting hole. This organic blend is more than just a fertilizer; it’s enriched with beneficial microbes and mycorrhizae that help roots establish faster, resist transplant shock, and thrive long-term.

Why Choose Bio-tone Starter Plus?

Enhanced Root Development: The inclusion of both endo and ecto mycorrhizae expands the root system, allowing plants to absorb more water and nutrients.
Beneficial Microbes: These microbes break down nutrients in the soil, making them more accessible to plants, leading to healthier growth.
Organic and Safe: Made from natural ingredients without sludges or fillers, it’s safe for people, pets, and the planet.
Versatile Use: Ideal for all plantings, including flowers, vegetables, trees, and shrubs.

By incorporating Bio-tone Starter Plus into his planting routine, Kaleb ensures his magnolias have a strong foundation for vibrant blooms and resilience.
