Terracult blue
The right choice of the optimal substrate particularly depends on the requirements of the plants and the cultivation conditions. The exact knowledge of origin, natural location, climate, light, nutrient, air and water requirements, vegetative and generative growth phases are an important prerequisite for selecting the correct substrate. With our fact check we support you in the decision-making.
The quality and performance of growing media are predetermined with the right raw material components. The harvesting method, harvesting technique, structure, moisture content and processing determine important physical factors such as air and water capacity or structural stability.

In addition to the biological and physical values that we determine by selecting the right raw materials, the mixture of nutrients, lime, wetting agents and other additives, such as clay granules, leonardite or perlite, combined in one formulation, is decisive for an optimum success of the plants.
All components are incorporated in a homogeneous mixture in precise dosage.
