Aptus Micromix Drip 100g - Beneficial Microlife for Drip and Fertigation Systems
Best for: growers running drip or fertigation systems who want to dose beneficial root microorganisms through the irrigation water itself.
Our thoughts
This is the version built for dosing through water rather than mixing into a bag of soil. If you are running drippers or any kind of fertigation, Drip is the one you want, since it is designed to be dissolved and delivered straight through your irrigation line. Do not confuse it with the Soil version, they are dosed completely differently.
Micromix Drip is one of two Micromix powders from Aptus, the other being Micromix Soil, both built around a mix of beneficial microorganisms and stimulants selected for their specific functions in the root zone. Sterile growing substrates have all microlife destroyed during manufacture, including the beneficial organisms that would otherwise protect roots and support growth, which is exactly the gap Micromix is designed to fill.
Micromix Drip is specifically formulated to be dissolved in water and delivered to plants through the irrigation system, rather than mixed dry into the growing medium. This makes it the version suited to drip, fertigation and recirculating setups where you want to introduce beneficial microlife via the water you are already feeding through, rather than handling it as a substrate additive at planting.
How it compares
Beneficial microbial inoculants are a well established category, usually split between dry substrate additives and liquid or water-dosed products.
- Compared with Aptus's own Micromix Soil, Drip is dosed through water into an established irrigation system, while Soil is worked dry into the growing medium at planting.
- Against mycorrhizal inoculants like Aptus Mycor Mix or similar root fungi products, Micromix Drip focuses on beneficial bacteria and microorganisms rather than mycorrhizal fungi specifically.
- Compared with liquid biostimulant products such as House and Garden's Roots Excelurator, Micromix Drip is centred on introducing live beneficial microlife rather than root-stimulating compounds.
It is a targeted tool for anyone whose feeding setup is water-based rather than a hands-in-the-soil operation.
Usage guidance
Micromix Drip is mixed into your water tank rather than handled as a dry substrate additive.
Mixing
Mix 1g of Micromix Drip per 1 litre of water in the tank, stirring until the powder is completely dissolved before administering to plants.
Application
Deliver the dissolved solution to your plants through your normal drip or fertigation irrigation.
Repeat treatment
Optionally repeat the treatment after 30 days to maintain beneficial microlife levels through the growing cycle.

Who this is for
- Growers running drip or fertigation irrigation who want to dose microlife through the water
- Coco and hydro growers wanting to support root health via their existing feed line
- Growers who prefer dosing through the reservoir over handling substrate additives
- Anyone running Aptus's wider substrate care range alongside their base nutrients
Our take
Micromix Drip solves the same beneficial-microlife problem as Micromix Soil, just delivered the way growers with drip or fertigation systems actually feed their plants. Get the dosing right and it slots straight into an existing irrigation routine.
The right pick if your setup runs through a tank and a dripper. Does exactly what it should, day in, day out.
