Rooting Media

The first big challenge of every new crop is to effectively root cuttings and seedlings, with the overall effectiveness of this process judged on rooting times, root development and infant-to-adult success rates. Your choice of rooting media will have a significantn impact upon each of these factors, as well as whether or not plants are grown organically. Grodan Cuttings Seeds Cubes continue to be the most popular selection and perfectly suit hydroponic set ups, combining great value and convenience (they come supplied in a handy tray and are designed for use with Grodan Transplanting Cubes) alongside a proven performance. However if you want to grow plants naturally, look no further than Jiffy Plugs and Fleximix Root Riot Cubes. The former are low priced pellets of compressed peat that expand to accommodate your cuttings/seedlings by just adding water, whereas the latter will delight more serious growers with the fastest rooting times around!
