Magic Gardener Portfolio:
Fungus Gnat Killer
The most anticipated product of this lineup, Fungus Gnat Killer is a targeted biological insecticide powered by Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis strain AM65-52. Its easy, soil-drench, granular formulation provides fast and effective control of fungus gnat larvae, ideal for the booming indoor plant market.
Caterpillar Control
Formulated with Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki (Btk) strain ABTS-35, this biological insecticide protects plants from destructive lepidoptera caterpillar species, including armyworm, box tree moth, and cabbage looper.
Biofungicide
Biofungicide is a foliar fungicide and bactericide that utilizes our unique strain of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain PTA-4838 to control pathogens like powdery mildew, leaf spot, and downy mildew. It is a powerful biological alternative for gardeners seeking dependable disease suppression.
Mycorrhizae for Fruit, Flower & Vegetable
Mycorrhizal fungi form a symbiotic relationship with plant roots, seeking out water, nutrients, and other resources that would otherwise be unavailable or difficult for the plant to access. This granular product features several species of endomycorrhizal fungi that boost plant health, fruit, and blooms: Rhizophagus intraradices, Funneliformis mosseae, Claroideoglomus claroideum, and Claroideoglomus etunicatum.
Mycorrhizae for Trees & Shrubs
A unique combination of endomycorrhizal and ectomycorrhizal fungi delivered in convenient, pre-measured pods. In addition to the species found in Mycorrhizae for Fruit, Flower & Vegetable, this product also contains: Rhizopogon villosulus, Pisolithus tinctorius, and Scleroderma cepa. These fungi promote faster establishment and improved survivability of woody plants in landscapes and garden beds.
All Magic Gardener products are packaged in durable, waterproof, and stackable containers designed for eye-catching merchandising alongside the plants they support.
“Home gardeners want products they can trust—solutions that reflect the same scientific rigor professionals rely on,” said Flora. “This new portfolio brings that expertise to the consumer space, delivering proven biological performance in products that are intuitive, effective, and aligned with how people want to garden today.”
