diy grow soil cubes has the least impact on the environment among all substrates. UPuper® rock wool cubes are made from natural rock and melted at 1500℃. It has no pathogenic bacteria, toxic and harmful substances. It provides a pollution-free root environment for growing green crops. UPuper® Rock wool substrates can also realize recycling, which makes it to become a green, safe, stable and reliable soilless culture medium.
Instructions for using rockwool cubes: 1. Soak the rockwool cubes in warm water to fully foam. 2. Put the rockwool cubes into a container and distribute evenly. 3. Place the seeds gently on the surface in the correct direction and wrap them in rockwool cubes, as the frosted rockwool grow cubes can absorb enough water to ensure sufficient moisture coverage of the plant roots. 4. Depending on the variety of plants, they can grow new roots under the support of external plant sprouting cloths, achieving germination. 5. Put the sprouted cloth blocks of plants back into the container and replenish them with water in a timely manner.
Uniform water content and electrical conductivity distribution throughout cubes. Grooves can facilitate water drainage and provide air pruning on root system. Rapid root system development.
1.As a diy grow soil cubes manufacturer, How to ship the goods to the customer?
DHL , USP , FedEx , EMS , by air , by sea , and customer's forwarder are also acceptable.
2.As a diy grow soil cubes manufacturer, What about your package?
Export standard package. Cartons tested for compressive strength. Pallet packaging is also acceptable.
3.How do diy grow soil cubes promote aeration in the root zone, and what benefits does this offer for plant health?
diy grow soil cubes promote aeration in the root zone by providing a porous, airy environment for the roots to grow in. This helps to ensure that the roots have access to oxygen, which is essential for healthy root growth and development. The increased aeration also helps to reduce the risk of root rot and other diseases, as well as promoting better nutrient uptake. Additionally, the increased aeration helps to regulate the temperature of the root zone, which can help to protect the plant from extreme temperatures.

7.About diy grow soil cubes,How to calculate the irrigation amount of nutrient solution?
In case of tomatoes, from planting to flowering: the irrigation amount is about 300-500ml / plant / day; From flowering stage to early fruiting stage: the irrigation amount is about 800-1200ml / plant / day; From early fruiting to harvest period: the irrigation amount is 1200-1500ml / plant / day, and the irrigation amount in full fruit period is about 1500-2000ml / plant / day. You can also bring out a rough calculation according to the shape and size of rock wool.
8.As a diy grow soil cubes manufacturer,What is soilless cultivation?
Soilless cultivation is a method of cultivating plants without natural soil nor use compound fertilizer and similar compound fertilizer based on soil. It is a new method that only uses nutrient solution to support for plant growth or various cultivation substrates that can replace soil and are suitable for plant growth.
