Method
F.Lower’s, a prominent wholesale and retail greenhouse in Southwestern Missouri, recently conducted a month-long trial to evaluate the efficacy of BioSoil as a potential ongoing treatment for their greenhouse plants. The team measured the width and height of plants before and after the treatment. One group of plants was treated with BioSoil, while a control group remained untreated for comparison.
The plants were treated twice per week for 39 days. They used 4 oz of BioSoil per gallon of rainwater. Treatment began 1 week before the first measurements were taken.
Results
The measured results revealed a slight increase in vertical growth for the treated plants. However, the most impressive measured impact was observed in horizontal growth, which was three times greater in the treated group compared to the control group. In addition, the photos below show a visible difference in root growth for treated plants. This substantial improvement in plant girth and root matter highlights the potential of BioSoil to enhance plant development significantly.
Lowers also noted that after suffering from heat stress, the treated plants bounced back MUCH faster. Some varieties also showed less heat stress and quicker recovery after minor wilting in the treated group.
After the trial, Caleb contacted us to order enough probiotics to treat the entire greenhouse. He said, “Growth was impressive, as well as just overall plant health. We saw huge root improvement and foliar health and growth improvements in our tropicals, and we’re going to give it a shot across the board. I’m impressed.”
Thanks to Caleb Whaley at F.Lowers Greenhouse for sharing his results with us!
This growth was measured after 4 weeks of treatment.

Photo results show the difference between plants not treated and plants treated with BioSoil for 6 weeks. Caleb says “[I didn’t do the last measurement], I just popped pots off and took pics of roots because I’d seen what I needed to see.”
