Product detailed description
Begrow® growing mat (slab) made of hydrophilic rockwool (mineral wool) with dimensions 1000 x 150 x 75 mm is a long strip on which you place several plants side by side in one row. The mat is designed for professional cultivation and takes plants from the vegetative stage through to harvest.
Key features
- Strip for multiple plants - length 1000 mm accommodates several rooted cubes side by side in one row.
- Holds water and air - absorbs within 25 seconds and maintains a balanced ratio of water and air (water regulation 40-85 %).
- Chaotic fibre structure - roots spread evenly in all directions and the mat holds water along its entire length.
- Clean environment - inert and sterile rockwool without pathogens, does not bind nutrients; density 50 kg/m3, porosity above 98 % at 5 kPa.
How to use
Thoroughly and evenly saturate the mat with water so it soaks through along its entire length. Place rooted cubes with plants on the surface so that the roots grow down into the mat. The mat is most often used in drip irrigation or in a run-to-waste system, where individual plants share one strip of medium. Monitor the drainage so that excess water does not remain in the mat.
Frequently asked questions
How many plants can I put on one mat?
It depends on the size of the plants and the spacing. A length of 1000 mm accommodates more cubes side by side in a row - arrange the plants so they do not shade each other.
How does the mat differ from a cube?
A cube is for one plant, while a mat is a long strip for several plants at once. It is suitable for irrigation systems where you want to grow in rows.
How should I water so the roots are not overwatered?
Saturate the mat evenly and let the excess drain away - the chaotic fibres distribute moisture לאורך the length and the mat holds air. We will be happy to advise you on setting up drip irrigation.
