Rooting Mediums

	For a state of the art, cutting edge medium. All will truly benefit from ROOTCUBES® growing medium engineered to balance air and water ratios. Hard to root species like Dogwood, Euonymous, Spirea, Picea, and Ilex (just to name a few) have shown to root more quickly than when using traditional media types. Woody plants that have a tendency to rot or have a long rooting time have shown better yields and performance when using ROOTCUBES® medium over perlite or sand pans. Cubes are rigid, open-celled, water-absorbing foams, specifically designed for optimal callus and rapid root formation. Outstanding performance is due, in part, to the unique cell structure, which closely resembles the cellular structure of the plant itself. No need for a dibble board with ROOTCUBES® your ready for business. Bonsai propagators that live in apartments or don't have the ability to a start a propagation area will benefit with ROOTCUBES®. Just add a humidity dome and light. You can propagate in the house with out your significant other complaining about dirt.
