Cultivation of plants

The cultivation of young plants is a delicate matter. As a grower or breeder you know better than anyone the interplay of factors necessary to achieving good results. Coincidence has no place here. That is why Cultilène offers you certainty with a wide range of cultivation products aimed at optimal plant development and efficient processing (for the cultivation of both ornamental plants and vegetables).

Homogeneity and firmness
Naturally, the homogeneity of Cultilène’s cultivation products meets the highest standards. Our cultivation products excel in robustness. Robustness is of great importance, in particular for handling and retaining product characteristics throughout the entire cultivation process.

Excellent initial saturation
The rate at which the substrate can absorb water is another distinguishing quality of Cultilène’s stone wool products. The rapid saturation or re-saturation capacity of the stone wool blocks paves the way for quick processing while ensuring that all blocks are maximally saturated with water. This initial saturation is critical to the homogeneity in other stages of the cultivation process.

Always the right cultivation block
Thanks to the production process applied by Saint-Gobain Cultilène, we are able to refine products so that they meet varying wishes our customer may have in terms of initial saturation, water retention capacity, continued rooting, refreshment and processibility. No two companies and no two cultivations are the same. For instance, companies differ with respect to greenhouse type, automation level, watering system capacity, sowing method and plant variety. There are also different entrepreneurial styles. All these factors impose different demands on cultivation blocks. That’s why Cultilène has expanded its range of propagation blocks to three variations.
