Growing Media
Substrates serve as a medium for cultivating all imaginable types of plants. You can choose from well-known brands such as BioNova, Plagron, Canna, BioBizz, Atami and others. We recommend combining substrates and fertilisers from the same manufacturers. Feel free to ask us for advice. Just call or write to info@higarden.cz.

In general, we distinguish several types of substrates or growing media. The natural properties of many products in our range are deliberately combined to achieve the desired synergy.

Soil
This brown loose mix, which at first glance resembles soil, is made from various types of peat and peat blends. Individual products differ mainly in the proportion of nutrients added to the peat. You can therefore choose from a range of lightly (LightMixes), medium and heavily pre-fertilised substrates. Using soil-based substrates with a peat base requires less experience than working with other types, which are primarily suitable for hydroponics. Do not forget to choose a suitable fertiliser for soil. In the case of heavily pre-fertilised substrates, you can do without fertiliser for the growth stage. Additives are also suitable, as when using soil substrates we encounter pests or diseases more often than is the case with the growing media for hydroponic cultivation listed below.
With coconut substrate, you work in a similar way to soil, but the work is cleaner and, compared with soil, this growing medium does not create as much mess. Crushed coconut fibres, obtained by isolating, cleaning and further processing the outer husk of the coconut, stand out for their ability to combine a high proportion of water and air. They therefore form an increasingly popular inert medium widely used especially in hydroponic systems. Be sure to use a special fertiliser designed specifically for coconut in coconut substrate.
This growing medium made from expanded clay ensures that roots have a sufficient supply of air. It is a highly clean and porous substrate with filtering properties. It resists odour and the germs that are often responsible for various diseases in plants.
Volcanic glass has given rise to a white granular material with a high water content that perfectly aerates the substrate. Perlite stimulates root growth and allows cuttings to root quickly. This very ecological medium with retention properties has wide use and is massively used especially in hydroponics.
