FAQs

What are the key features of Grodan Rockwool Slabs?

Grodan Rockwool Slabs are made from hydrophilic fibres that provide excellent water retention and aeration for plant roots. They are suitable for raising seeds, growing cuttings, and transplanting plants from Rockwool cubes. Additionally, this substrate is ideal for vertical wall gardens and is made sustainably to ensure minimal environmental impact.

How do I use Grodan Rockwool Slabs for propagation?

Simply place your seeds or cuttings into the Rockwool Slab and provide them with the necessary water, nutrients, and light they need to thrive. As the plants grow, their roots will penetrate the Rockwool, making it easy to transplant them to larger growing spaces or other growing mediums if necessary.

Can I use Grodan Rockwool Slabs for both indoor and outdoor gardening?

Yes, Grodan Rockwool Slabs are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. They are a versatile growing medium that can be utilised in various hydroponic systems or traditional soil-based gardens.

How long can I expect my plants to stay in Grodan Rockwool Slabs?

The length of time plants can stay in Grodan Rockwool Slabs depends on the plant species and the growth stage. However, they are designed to support your plants throughout their entire propagation phase. Once your plants reach the desired growth stage, you can transplant them to larger environments or other growing mediums.

How do I transplant my plants from Grodan Rockwool Slabs to another growing medium?

To transplant, gently remove the plant along with the surrounding Rockwool from the slab. Place the plant and attached Rockwool directly into the new growing medium, such as soil or a larger hydroponic system. This minimises root damage and provides a seamless transition for the plant.

How do I store unused Grodan Rockwool Slabs?

Unused Grodan Rockwool Slabs should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are wrapped or covered to protect them from dust, debris, and potential contaminants. Proper storage ensures the slabs maintain their optimal growing properties when you are ready to use them.
