Planting Media Where to Buy
What is Soilless Cultivation?
Soilless cultivation is a kind of cultivation technology that uses other things containing essential elements for plant growth and development to cultivate plants without using natural soil, so that plants can normally complete the whole life cycle. It includes hydroponics, aeroponics and substrate culture. Soilless cultivation can generally grow vegetables, flowers, fruits, tobacco and other crops.
What is Planting Media?
Substrate cultivation is to fix root with planting media, so that crop root can absorb nutrient solution and oxygen through it. There are many types and methods of substrate culture, which can be generally divided into organic substrate and inorganic one. At present, most countries in the world use inorganic one. Inorganic planting media is made of rock wool, vermiculite, sand, ceramics, perlite, polyethylene, urea formaldehyde foam and others. Among various inorganic substrates, rock wool is used most, and it is widely used in vegetable and flower seedling raising and cultivation.
However, most rock wool planting media depends on imports, and cannot be decomposed by themselves after being used, resulting in high processing costs. Rock wool has limited water storage capacity and poor water retention performance. If the water is cut off for a long time, it will have a greater impact on the plants. Moreover, rock wool has high requirements for irrigation methods, and too much or too little watering will affect the growth of the root system.
What is Tenlead Hydroponic Planting Cube?
And today, we would like to introduce a latest generation growing medium called Tenlead Hydroponic Growing Cube which has high air porosity can well engineered balance of water and air promotes vigorous root development. Unlike soil and other media, Cubes won't block any nutrients. All elements in the nutrient solution are available to the plant--without the soil getting in the way. It also eliminates fungus and disease which are common problems with young plants.
What most important is that it is kind of material biodegradable and environmental friendly, they will completely degrade after a period of time without polluting the environment, that is why it is more valuable and will prevail the market in future nursery work. Now, it is normally used for greenhouse green leafy vegetables and floral plants, vertical farming due to it is protected from the climate changing effect and interference foam pests and bacteria. Tenlead Hydroponic Growing Cubes are commonly used in greenhouse plants for crops nursery work.
