🎙️ Episode 25 of The Green Talk Podcast  "Rebuilding from the Roots".

I sat down with Todd Colter, founder of MitoGrow, to talk about something we don’t always see… but that drives everything we grow: plant energy.

We’ve always known healthy roots mean healthy plants. What Todd breaks down is why at the cellular level. We talk mitochondria, stress tolerance, recovery, and how supporting a plant’s internal energy systems can influence:

• Stronger root development
• Better performance under heat and environmental stress
• Improved resilience in demanding landscape conditions
• A smarter, biology-first approach to plant health

This isn’t about replacing the fundamentals. It’s about building on them using modern plant science to support the same principles this industry has relied on for generations: strong roots, balanced growth, and long-term health.

If you work in turf, ornamentals, or plant health care, this episode will stretch the way you think about what’s happening beneath the surface.
