Cultilene Rockwool Slab 100x15x7.5 cm

Cultilene’s substrate slabs have excellent controllability and (potentially) high water retention capacity. They can also be quickly and completely resaturated. The excellent control range gives you the opportunity to vary the moisture percentage in every cultivation phase and in every season within the bandwidth you want.

The advantage of rock wool is that it has a high water-resistant capacity and contains a lot of air. Stone wool is also light, compact and relatively cheap. Rockwool is therefore also the most commonly used growing medium in greenhouse horticulture. Yet it is not easy to grow on rockwool; some knowledge is required. Stone wool already has a high PH value, which is why it is important to water it well with a low PH value (5.1 to 5.5). Make sure that the PH value in the slab is never lower than 5.0. This prevents the wool from collapsing and losing its bounce. By treating stone wool properly, it will last a very long time.

Stone wool slabs (plates) are packaged in UV-resistant polyethylene for ease of use. The special structure of Cultilene vegetable and flower substrate slabs provides a uniform environment that allows plant roots to explore all available growth volume in a short time for a quick start. The distribution of water and nutrients is also more gradual and therefore allows for greater effective root volume than previously possible.

Cultilene rockwool slabs are for vegetable cultivation and flower cultivation. The differences between the mats are minimal, both in terms of firmness, moisture content and dimensions. In addition, the durability of these mats is at an exceptionally high level.

The slab method is most commonly used by commercial gardeners to grow larger, high productivity plants (tomatoes or cucumbers) and for the large-scale cultivation of flowers. Drip irrigation is the best method of feeding plants at regular intervals.
