Earth, a natural and economic substrate for your crops

Earth is a Natural substrate which has been used since ancient times to cultivate. Is rich in essential nutrients for plant growth, such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.
It is also a substrate economical and easy to get anywhere. However, being a natural substrate, land quality can vary depending on the area where it is extracted.

That is why it is important to choose the right land for your cultivation, either using a mixture of earth or a specific soil for the type of plant you want to grow. In general the earth has a slightly acid or neutral pH and one Good water retention capacity.

The coconut substrate: an organic option for healthy and efficient growth

The coconut peat It is an organic substrate of great quality obtained from the peel of this fruit, which decomposes rapidly. This substrate contains trichoderma naturally, which It helps prevent fungi in roots and stimulates the healthy growth of plants. With prolonged and adequate use, it is an excellent option for four cultivation cycles, which means that it is not necessary to change the substrate during the growth process.

The Coconut crops They are usually healthier and They grow faster compared to other media. In addition, it has a higher drainage and is ultra absorbent, which guarantees that your plants will not be thirsty.

Coconut fiber for hydroponic culture: an option close to the ground with many advantages

The coconut fiber It is a very popular substrate for hydroponic culture because it resembles the ground. It is composed of external coconut fibers in different particle sizes. The larger the particles, the less they retain water, which makes it easier to dry faster. This generates greater opportunities to water and feed your plants. It is also Very effective for culture inside since it resists fungi.

This substrate option is Ideal to use with mineral fertilizers And it can also work well with microbes, which help decompose foods and that the roots assimilate them efficiently. It is important to mention that coconut fibers have a neutral pH.

Lombriz humus: an organic substrate for sustainable and healthy cultivation

He Lombriz humus it's a organic substrate that nourishes the soil naturally, allowing to avoid the use of harmful chemicals for the environment, achieving plants with a better molecular balance.

Artificial substrates for efficient crop: proven alternatives

INERTS VS AUTHORS: DIFFERENCES AND CULTURE USES

The inert substrates They are those who They do not provide any type of nutritional benefit to plants, examples of these are gravel, sand and expanded clay products. Its main function is create an adequate flow of water and oxygen in the substrate, which is beneficial for the plant roots system. On the other hand, active substrates are those that have an impact on plant fertilization, since they contain essential nutrients for the growth and flowering of plants.

Exploring the variety of substrates: beyond the established classifications

There are many different classifications for substrates, and these could lead to a lot of discussions.

It is appropriate for plants that require a high nutrient contribution.
Some of the main benefits of using universal substrates include:

- Offer one Balanced mixture of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, which reduces the need for additional fertilization.
- Accelerate the rooting process and at the same time save moisture.
- It does not contain weed seeds or pest germs. 

Commercial substrates: a wide variety of options for all your cultivation needs

The commercial substrates They are those that are manufactured and marketed by specialized companies in the sector. These substrates are elaborated with the objective of Fulfill the needs of the cultivators, based on studies and evidence that supports its effectiveness. Among the best known brands in the market is Canna substrate, Biobizz substrate, Atami substrate, Plagron substrate and the Top Crop substrate, each with one Wide variety of substrate options, as natural substrates such as coconut fiber or earthworm humus, and artificial substrates such as expanded and perlite clay.
