scented rockwool cubes 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.What is the composition and material of scented rockwool cubes, and how do they compare to other growing mediums like soil or coco coir?
scented rockwool cubes 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.
2.How do you prevent the formation of algae or mold on the surface of scented rockwool cubes?
To avoid causing losses due to these issues, UPuper recommends that you do the following: 1. Make sure to keep the rockwool grow cubes in a well-ventilated area. 2. Avoid overwatering the rockwool grow cubes. 3. Clean the rockwool grow cubes regularly with a mild detergent and water solution. 4. Use a fungicide or algaecide to prevent the formation of algae or mold. 5. Make sure to keep the rockwool grow cubes away from direct sunlight.
3.As a scented rockwool 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. Soilless cultivation can be divided into fog cultivation, water cultivation and solid substrate cultivation. UPuper® Rock wool substrate belongs to solid substrate cultivation.
4.Are scented rockwool cubes pH-neutral, and do they require any adjustments before use?
scented rockwool cubes 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.
5.About scented rockwool cubes,Why should we open some drains on the rock wool cultivation strip?
The drain is opened at the bottom of both ends of the cultivation strip. The drain is opened to allow the normal discharge of excess water and fertilizer to keep the EC Value in the planting strip stable. The location of drainage holes and the correct irrigation amount directly affect the distribution of water and EC in the cultivation strip. Be sure not to set additional drainage holes in the planting strip when you use them, otherwise it will change the planting strip drainage mode, which may be unfavorable to the plant roots in some areas in the planting strip. The surplus water and fertilizer will flow into the diversion tank and return to the irrigation system for recycling after disinfection and other process. It can not only solve the problem of water and fertilizer, but also protect the environment.
6.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.
7.Are there specific tools or accessories designed for working with scented rockwool cubes, 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.
8.How do scented rockwool cubes help prevent overwatering or waterlogged conditions in plant root systems?
scented rockwool cubes are made of a porous material that helps to regulate the amount of water that is available to the plant roots. The material is designed to absorb and retain water, while also allowing excess water to drain away. This helps to prevent overwatering and waterlogged conditions in the root system, as the plant is able to take up only the amount of water it needs.
9.What is the expected lifespan of scented rockwool cubes, and how do you determine when it's time to replace them?
The expected lifespan of scented rockwool cubes is typically between 1-3 years, depending on the frequency of use and the quality of the cubes. To determine when it's time to replace them, look for signs of wear and tear such as discoloration, cracking, or crumbling. If the cubes are no longer providing adequate support for the roots of your plants, it's time to replace them.
10.What is the recommended method for disposing of used scented rockwool cubes to minimize environmental impact?
The recommended method for disposing of used scented rockwool cubess 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.
