Storage: Use substrates as fresh as possible,
keep in a cool and dry place, protect bulk substrates
with acovering foil against weather and weed seeds.
Special mixtures with long-term fertilizer can only
be stored 2 – 3 weeks.

Adittional fertilization: After 3 – 5 weeks
an additional fertilization is required depending
on the weather, culture and irrigation. The properties
of the fertilizer and the irrigation water can
influence the pH in the substrate, soft water together
with a fertilizer with a high share of ammonium
can lead to a falling pH, water with a high level of
hardness together with a fertilizer with a share of
nitrate can lead to a rising pH.

Recommendation for
the selection of subtrates
Ornamental plants · Nursery plants · Herbaceous plants and herbs · Propagation
On the following pages you will find the substrates which
we recommend for specific cultures. The choice of
the right substrate does not only depend on the culture,
but also on the cultivation method (irrigation, fertilization etc.), the
pot size and other items (like e.g. the season). Therefore we mostly
recommend a selection of several substrates for every culture.

Standard-substrates with clay
Standard-substrates
Blocking substrates
These substrates differ from each other in the composition (e.g.
shares of white peat, black peat, clay, perlite etc.), the structure and
the fertilization (see information in the main catalogue). This pre-
selection together with the information concerning the pot sizes
and structure, helps you to choose the appropriate substrate
considering the company's conditions and your own experiences.
Substrates with a high share of white peat, a high air capacity and good drainage ability, with a share of clay
(except PRO verde) for good buffering properties for nutrients and pH, with low to medium fertilization.
Substrates with a balanced share of black and white peat, with a good water retainance, good buffering properties
for nutrients and pH, with medium fertilization.
Substrates with a balanced share of black and white peat, with a good water retainance, with low to medium fertilization.
Propagation substrates
Substrates for trays
Substrates with a high share of white peat, a high air capacity and good drainage ability as well as substrates
with a balanced share of black and white peat, with a good water retainance, in all cases with low fertilization.
Substrates with a high share of black peat, a good adhesive ability and a high water retainance,
with low to medium fertilization.
