Soil is not Nature's only option for growing plants!
Depending on
the plants you grow, there are several options to choose from, including
hydroponics (water), manmade materials, and some other natural materials. For
indoor and outdoor gardening.
Using a strictly controlled mix of buffered coir fiber, blended with coarse fibers of pure Canadian sphagnum peat, Power PLUGZ offer the perfect air to water ratio promoting vigorous root development.
Cocogro coir fiber has ample space within the mix for roots to develop and provides excellent drainage properties. AND Cocogro is NOT chemically treated! It's aged a minimum of 18 months and has completed its decomposition stage. Cocogro is exposed to rain water from at least three monsoon seasons, which naturally washes away harmful potassium and salts out of the final product.
Coir fiber is gaining popularity in the hydroponics market because it contains a natural source of rooting hormones, plus it helps protect against root disease. Coir fiber also provides optimal air-to-water ratio for stronger plants. Its bio-degradable and easy-to-use.
Made by American Agritech, Botanicare's Cocogro Brick offers a premium 100% organic coir fiber. The 3/4" long fibers are double-sieved to reduce dust and Cocogro can be used over a longer period of time than coir fiber with shorter fibers.
Cubecap blocks the light from your growing medium, which algae needs to survive. It's unique shape also promotes airflow around the top of the growing medium allowing moisture to evaporate in the top layers.
A smaller fiber diameter gives increased water holding capacity plus they have a very firm structure. Cultilene growing media is completely pathogen free!
It's packed with beneficial microbes to stimulate root growth and enhance water and fertilizer uptake. There's also humic acid to improve seed germination, and earthworm castings for overal plant health.
It's even pH balanced to make sure that your plants can take up the nutrients they need. Original Planting Mix helps hold moisture in the soil, which keeps plants hydrated and growing.
It's designed with shorter cells so the plugs rise slightly above the tray for easy removal when it's time to transplant your plant clone or seedling. Helps decrease the risk of root damage.
Each A-OK Starter Plug has a pre-formed hole to insure easy seed or plant cutting placement. The V-shape design of this plug discourages tangling between the plugs, so roots are less prone to be damaged when you separate them for transplanting.
Grodan stonewool is pH neutral, making it easy to maintain the ideal pH values between 5.5 - 6.5. These pH levels are essential for optimum plant development and substrate integrity.
They can be used for direct planting or "potting up" of plants started with Grodan Macroplugs or A-OK plugs. When your seedlings have a couple of small leaves and the roots emerge from your Macroplugs or A-OK plugs, soak the the Gro-Block in pH5.5 water overnight and insert the starter plugs in the holes the next day. Hold off watering for 1 to 2 days to prompt the roots to expand quickly into the Delta Gro-Block.
The advantage of Mini-blocks is that they can independently sit in a tray without any support, plus they keep their shape! Each block is wrapped in white plastic on all sides for individual use.
Higromite is mined from volcanic deposits colonized by protozoa in freshwater lakes millions of years ago. These deposits produced the best natural balance of organic, major, and trace elements.
Rapid Rooter plugs are all natural soilless organic grow plugs that are made from composted tree bark and other organic materials. They're fortified with micro nutrients for abundant root growth and provide optimal air-to-water ratio for explosive root growth.
Suitable for either plant cuttings or seed germination, these starter cubes are ideal for hydroponic gardening. Once young plants are established, you can easily transplant the Root Riot plugs into soil or any other growing medium.
A good choice for starting your seedlings or plant cuttings. Once your plants are established, simply transplant the entire peat pot outdoors or into a larger indoors container.
Soil Moist stores over 200 times its weight in water, releasing a steady supply of water as your plants need it. It's also great for outdoor applications.
A good choice for starting your seedlings or plant cuttings. Once your plants are established, simply transplant the entire peat pot outdoors or into a larger indoors container.
Similar to mulch, PieceCoir features large coir chunks and chips for greater root penetration. Sunleaves PieceCoir Brick expands to approximately 1/3 cubic foot when soaked in water. Sunleaves PieceCoir Block expands to approximately 65 liters when soaked in water.
