planting seedling plugs have a strong ability of water saving and fertilizer retention. It provides an excellent growth environment for crop roots. The internal three-dimensional network fiber structure makes the nutrient distribution more evenly, which is conducive to the roots extension and growth. A developed root system is the precondition of high yield and excellent fruit quality. UPuper® Rock wool has firm structure and is not easy to deform without scattering, so It will not cause any damage to crops root while transplanting, the survival rate will increase, which is also helpful to grow large seedlings. It can help to realize the time to market in advance or later seasons to bring higher yield, quality and economic benefits.
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.
Give roots more growing space.Better water and fertilizer retention.
1.As a planting seedling plugs manufacturer, What's the lead time?
About 10-15(normally) days for a 40HQ container.
2.How do planting seedling plugs compare to traditional soil in terms of plant growth rates and yields?
planting seedling plugs are a great alternative to traditional soil for growing plants. They provide excellent aeration and drainage, which can lead to faster growth rates and higher yields. Rockwool also has a higher water-holding capacity than soil, which can help to reduce the amount of water needed for plants. Additionally, rockwool is sterile, so it is less likely to contain disease-causing organisms that can harm plants. Overall, rockwool grow cubes can provide a great environment for plants to thrive in, leading to faster growth rates and higher yields.
3.As a planting seedling plugs manufacturer,UPuper® Rock wool recycling service
UPuper® Rockwool cubes can be recycled. Used UPuper® rock wool can be recycled back to the production lines. After separating and melting with other raw materials. Those used products can be made into new rock wool. The products that made of recycled materials have no quality difference from the new ones, and can be re-applied to thermal insulation, fire prevention and noise reduction in the fields of construction, industry and ships.
4.About planting seedling plugs,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.
5.How are planting seedling plugs sterilized and prepared for safe use in plant cultivation?
planting seedling plugs are typically sterilized using a combination of heat and steam. The cubes are placed in a steam chamber and heated to a temperature of around 180°F (82°C) for a period of time. This process kills any bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms that may be present in the cubes. After sterilization, the cubes are then soaked in a nutrient solution to prepare them for use in plant cultivation.
6.What types of crops or plants are best suited for cultivation in planting seedling plugs, and are there any limitations?
planting seedling plugs are best suited for hydroponic cultivation of vegetables, herbs, and flowers. Some of the most popular crops grown in rockwool cubes include tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, lettuce, and basil. Rockwool cubes can also be used to propagate cuttings from existing plants. The main limitation of rockwool cubes is that they are not suitable for growing root vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, and onions. Additionally, rockwool cubes are not suitable for growing plants that require a lot of water, such as watermelons and pumpkins.
7.As a planting seedling plugs manufacturer,What's the term of payment?
T/T, Paypal, Credit card etc.
8.Are planting seedling plugs compatible with automatic irrigation and nutrient delivery systems commonly used in hydroponics?
Yes, planting seedling plugs are compatible with automatic irrigation and nutrient delivery systems commonly used in hydroponics. However, it is important to note that rockwool cubes should be soaked in water before use to ensure that they are properly hydrated. Additionally, rockwool cubes should be flushed with water every few weeks to prevent nutrient buildup.
9.Can planting seedling plugs be used in conjunction with other growing media or as part of a multi-stage cultivation process?
Yes, planting seedling plugs can be used in conjunction with other growing media or as part of a multi-stage cultivation process. Rockwool cubes are often used in hydroponic systems as a medium for starting seeds or cuttings, and can be used in conjunction with other growing media such as perlite, vermiculite, and coco coir. Rockwool cubes can also be used in multi-stage cultivation processes, such as in aeroponic systems, where the cubes are used to start the seedlings and then transferred to a larger growing medium.
10.What are the key considerations for matching the size of planting seedling plugs to the specific plant species being cultivated?
As a planting seedling plugs manufacturer, UPUPER will tell you the following factors: 1. Plant size: The size of the rockwool cubes should be matched to the size of the plant. For example, larger plants will require larger cubes, while smaller plants will require smaller cubes. 2. Plant root system: The size of the rockwool cubes should also be matched to the size and complexity of the plant’s root system. For example, plants with larger and more complex root systems will require larger cubes. 3. Plant growth rate: The size of the rockwool cubes should also be matched to the plant’s growth rate. For example, plants with faster growth rates will require larger cubes. 4. Plant nutrient requirements: The size of the rockwool cubes should also be matched to the plant’s nutrient requirements. For example, plants with higher nutrient requirements will require larger cubes. 5. Plant water requirements: The size of the rockwool cubes should also be matched to the plant’s water requirements. For example, plants with higher water requirements will require larger cubes.
11.Are there any concerns or precautions related to the health and safety of growers working with planting seedling plugs, including dust or fiber exposure?
Yes, there are health and safety concerns related to working with rockwool grow cubes. Rockwool is made from melted basaltic rock and chalk, and when it is cut or handled, it can release dust and fibers into the air. This dust and fiber can be inhaled and can cause irritation to the eyes, nose, and throat. It can also cause skin irritation and respiratory problems. Therefore, it is important to wear protective gear such as a dust mask, safety glasses, and gloves when handling rockwool. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the work area is well-ventilated and that the rockwool is kept away from food and drink.
12.Can planting seedling plugs be used for cloning and propagating plant cuttings, and what advantages do they offer for this purpose?
Yes, planting seedling 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.
13.What is the recommended method for disposing of used planting seedling plugs to minimize environmental impact?
The recommended method for disposing of used planting seedling plugss is to compost them. Rockwool is made from basalt and chalk, which are both natural materials that can be broken down by microorganisms in the soil. Composting the cubes will help to reduce the environmental impact by returning the materials to the soil.
14.What applications can planting seedling plugs be used for?
planting seedling plugs can be used for a variety of applications, including hydroponic gardening, seed starting, cloning, and propagation. They are also commonly used in aeroponic systems, as well as for growing mushrooms.
