Seeds growing hydroponics rock wool seeding plant cubes

rock wool substrate is suitable for greenhouse farming,
floriculture, herbs medicine growing, three-dimensional greening,
planting walls and home gardening etc


Rock wool Cubes are used for easy starting of seeds and cuttings giving even root development through out the entire cube. Can either fit into the holes of any standard rock wool blocks, can also be used with Aqua Clay, Perlite, Coco fibre mixes andmost growing medium
Rock wool is a mineral wool made from molten basalt and limestone rock that is spun into fibres and then compressed into cubes,blocks or slabs.

Care should be taken when handling rock wool by wearing gloves and mask. The rock wool fibres can cause irritation to the skin, and if breathed in they can also irritate the lungs.
1. Don’t squeeze the Rock wool especially when it’s wet.
2. Always pre-condition Rock wool in pH 5.5 water before using to disolve lime.
3. Pre-soak from 30 seconds to 30 minutes, depending on size of Rock wool.
4. Water only when there’s light - never water in the dark.
5. Optimum room temperature for growing environment is 18.5- 28 for most species. Temperatures above 26.7o C inside the growing media leads to depleted oxygen levels, encouraging root disease.
6. With low light, water with more volume with fewer cycles - and visa versa.
7. Do NOT keep Rock wool sopping wet. lots of algae is a sign of over watering. Minimize watering while plant is young. Too much water prevents root setting which is essential for growing a healthy plant.

Features: 1.It has a large water retention capacity, And also holds sufficient air. It holds a lot of water which gives you an advantage against power or equipment failures. 2.It is available in multiple sizes and shapes for various hydroponic applications. 3.Rock Wool is also durable, it doesn't readily fall apart or break down. 4.Insect Free. 5.Its physical structure prevents inspection of roots.
