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.
Individually wrapped cubes hold the rockwool’s shape and prevent algae growth. Easy to transport without hurting the roots and can improve transplanting efficiency.
1.As a peat growing plugs 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.What is the water retention capacity of peat growing plugs, and how does this impact plant hydration and growth?
peat growing plugs have a water retention capacity of approximately 80-90%. This means that the cubes can absorb and hold a large amount of water, which helps to keep the plant hydrated and promote healthy growth. The high water retention capacity also helps to reduce the amount of water needed for irrigation, as the cubes can slowly release the stored water to the plant over time.
3.Are peat growing plugs pH-neutral, and do they require any adjustments before use?
peat growing plugs are generally pH-neutral and do not require any adjustments before use. However, it is recommended to check the pH of the cubes before use to ensure they are at the desired level.
4.Are there rockwool grow cube products specifically designed for vertical gardening or living walls?
Yes, there are rockwool grow cubes specifically designed for vertical gardening and living walls. These cubes are designed to provide optimal air and water retention, as well as support for the plants. They are available in various sizes and shapes to fit any vertical gardening or living wall setup.
5.Are there specific tools or accessories designed for working with peat growing plugs, such as hole punches or plant supports?
Yes, there are several tools and accessories designed specifically for working with rockwool grow cubes. These include hole punches, plant supports, and trays for holding the cubes. Additionally, there are tools for cutting and shaping the cubes, as well as tools for transplanting seedlings from the cubes into larger containers.
6.As a peat growing plugs manufacturer, What's the lead time?
About 10-15(normally) days for a 40HQ container.
7.How do peat growing plugs provide a stable and consistent environment for plant roots?
peat growing plugs provide a stable and consistent environment for plant roots by providing a medium that is well-aerated, well-draining, and retains moisture. The cubes are made of a spun mineral fiber that is highly absorbent and can hold up to 20 times its weight in water. This helps to keep the root zone consistently moist and well-aerated, which is essential for healthy root growth. The cubes also provide a stable environment for the roots, as they are not prone to shifting or compressing like other growing media.
8.Can peat growing plugs be used in combination with traditional soil to improve aeration and drainage in potted plants?
Yes, peat growing plugs can be used in combination with traditional soil to improve aeration and drainage in potted plants. Rockwool is a lightweight, porous material that helps to improve drainage and aeration in soil, allowing for better root growth and healthier plants. It can also help to retain moisture in the soil, which is beneficial for plants that require more frequent watering.
9.Can peat growing plugs be used for cloning and propagating plant cuttings, and what advantages do they offer for this purpose?
Yes, peat growing plugss can be used for cloning and propagating plant cuttings. Rockwool is a great medium for cloning and propagating because it is sterile, lightweight, and provides excellent aeration and drainage. It also holds moisture well, which is important for successful cloning and propagation. Additionally, rockwool is easy to use and can be cut to fit any size container.
10.As a peat growing plugs manufacturer,Why use soilless cultivation?
Soilless cultivation is the most advanced cultivation technology in modern agriculture. From cultivation facilities to environmental control, the whole process can be monitored and regulated according to the needs of crop growth and development. It can realize early maturity and high yield of crops; Production of pollution-free products; greatly improve working conditions, save labor and reduce labor intensity; Save water and fertilizer; Avoid soil continuous planting barriers; it has no regional restrictions and can make the space fully used; so that contribute to the automation and intelligence of cultivation.
11.Do peat growing plugs have natural resistance to pests and diseases in horticultural settings?
No, rockwool grow cubes do not have natural resistance to pests and diseases in horticultural settings. It is important to use proper pest and disease control measures to ensure healthy plants.
12.Do peat growing plugs have different densities or compositions for use in various growing stages, such as seed germination or flowering?
Yes, peat growing plugs can have different densities and compositions for use in various growing stages. For example, some rockwool cubes are designed specifically for seed germination, while others are designed for flowering. The density and composition of the rockwool cubes can vary depending on the type of plant being grown and the desired outcome.
13.What is the composition and material of peat growing plugs, and how do they compare to other growing mediums like soil or coco coir?
peat growing plugs are made from a combination of basalt and chalk that is melted and spun into fibers. The fibers are then compressed into cubes. Rockwool is a great growing medium because it is sterile, lightweight, and provides excellent drainage and aeration. It also holds moisture well and is pH neutral. Compared to soil, rockwool is much lighter and easier to work with, and it does not contain any of the pests or diseases that can be found in soil. Compared to coco coir, rockwool is more sterile and does not contain any of the salts that can be found in coco coir. Rockwool is also more lightweight and easier to work with than coco coir.
