Advantages Of The Peat-based SAB Substrate 2
The SAB Substrate 2 is a product that is especially suitable for pot plants, bedding plants, the re-potting of plants, as well as for the cultivation of plants which require highly enriched growing media.
Due to its fertilization of approx. 1,6 g/l, means 1,6 kg of fertilizer in 1 m³ of substrate, a good supply with all necessary elements is ensured. The used fertilizer has the formula 14-16-18 in the NPK-ratio, all necessary micro-nutrients are included.
Additionally, a micro-nutrient fertilizer is added, as well as a re-moistening device which enables the product to be wettened easier during the cultivation.
Characteristics of the SAB Substrate 2
- High water capacity
- High air capacity
- Good structure
stability
- Freedom of harmful
substances
- Optimum pH-value
- Optimum
nutrient level
- Uniform quality
The SAB Substrate 2 can be used for (examples):
- The cultivation of flowers and green plants in pots over 9 cm diameter
- Growing-on of vigorous, salt tolerant crops
- Potting of plants which require high level of nutrition.
- Examples:
Abutilon, Alstromeria, Aphelandra, Aster novi-belgii, Argyranthemum, Begonia, Bougainvillea, Caladium, Calathea, Campanula, Chrysanthemum, Cyclamen, Dendranthema, Dianthus, Euphorbia, Exacum, Geranium, Hibiscus, Impatiens, Kalanchoe, Margerite, Poinsettia, Primula, Ranunculus, Viola, Yucca
