Frequently Asked Questions
A1: Peat moss is a type of organic material derived from decomposed sphagnum moss. It is commonly used in plant propagation because it provides excellent water retention and aeration, creating an ideal environment for seeds and young plants to grow.
A2: Vermiculite is a natural mineral that undergoes heat treatment to expand into a lightweight and porous material. It helps improve soil structure, retains moisture, and provides insulation to seeds and young plants during propagation, promoting healthy root development.
A3: Seed trays are shallow containers with multiple compartments designed to hold plant media for individual seeds. They provide a controlled environment for seed germination, allowing proper drainage, aeration, and easy transplanting of seedlings.
A4: Seed crates are larger containers used to hold multiple seed trays. They offer convenient storage and transportation options for propagators with larger quantities of seedlings. Seed crates help protect and organize the trays during propagation and can be stacked for efficient use of space.
A5: Coco peat, also known as coir or coco coir, is a byproduct of coconut fiber extraction. It can be treated or untreated, its an excellent alternative to traditional peat moss and provides similar benefits. Coco peat improves water retention, aeration, and nutrient retention in the soil, making it an ideal medium for plant propagation.
A6: You should mix 1 bag of peatmoss which is 55kg with 1 bag of vermiculite which is 18 - 21kgs.
A7: Yes, our seed trays and crates are made from durable materials and are designed for multiple uses. They can be easily cleaned and sterilized between propagations, making them cost-effective and environmentally friendly.
A8: Peat moss, vermiculite, and coco peat are versatile propagation mediums suitable for a wide range of plants. However, some plant species may have specific requirements or prefer alternative mediums, so it's always advisable to check the specific needs of your plants.
A9: The choice of propagation medium depends on factors such as the plant species, environmental conditions, and personal preference. Generally, peat moss and vermiculite are suitable for most plants, while coco peat is an excellent alternative for those seeking a more sustainable option.
