Know before you buy
Yes, these cubes are designed to fit perfectly into standard 10x20 propagation flats, making them easy to integrate into your existing setup.
The V-shape design is engineered to guide root growth downward, which helps prevent roots from circling or tangling within the plug. This promotes a healthier, more robust root structure for your seedlings or cuttings.
Yes, it is recommended to soak the cubes in a pH-adjusted nutrient solution before use. Because rockwool is naturally alkaline, pre-soaking ensures the medium is at the correct pH level for optimal nutrient uptake.
Absolutely. These cubes are designed for a seamless transition; once your plants have established a healthy root system, you can transplant the entire cube directly into larger growing media like soil, coco, or larger rockwool blocks.
Grodan's specialized fiber technology creates a structure that holds onto necessary moisture while maintaining high oxygen levels. This balance is critical for preventing root rot while ensuring the plant has constant access to water and nutrients.
