A lower density and higher drainage foam, the Horticubes® growing medium is specially engineered for the hydroponics seed germination of vegetables and herbs. The Horticubes® higher drainage design helps to maintain an ideal air to water balance, even under heavy watering conditions. The enhanced drainage also keeps the top of the media drier, helping to minimize algae growth. The lower density of the Horticubes® foam medium enables superior root growth.
Growers will appreciate the simplicity that Horticubes® brings to the challenges of hydroponic production. When OASIS® Hydroponic Fertilizer is used in the initial watering of the Horticubes®, the seedling growth increases by 200%. All Horticubes® media is manufactured in a “sheet” style, which fits easily into the industry’s standard “1020” trays. Each Horticubes® sheet is pre-scored for easy separation of a single cube, a block of cubes, or a strip of cubes.
