Grodan Delta growing block for controlled cultivation in stone wool
The Grodan Delta growing block, 10 × 10 × 6.5 cm, ø 27 mm is a ready-to-use stone wool block for hydroponic cultivation. It provides the next stage after initial propagation, giving young plants additional substrate volume for continued root development. Its compact dimensions make it suitable for individual plants as well as irrigation and hydroponic growing systems.
Stone wool for hydroponic cultivation
Stone wool combines good moisture retention with an open structure around the root zone. This allows water and nutrient delivery to be managed through a nutrient solution while maintaining suitable conditions for root development. Excess water should always be able to drain freely. You can find further options in the rockwool growing media category.
27 mm planting hole for young plants
The prepared opening has a diameter of approximately 27 mm and is designed to receive a compatible propagation plug containing an established young plant. This allows the plant to be transferred into the larger block without having to remove the existing rooting medium. Other dimensions and formats are available in the Grodan stone wool range.
Side wrapping for directed root growth
The growing block is wrapped around the sides. This limits roots emerging horizontally and encourages more of the root system to develop towards the bottom of the block. Once established, the block can be incorporated into suitable hydroponic setups or placed onto further stone wool growing media. Good drainage remains important to prevent excess water from accumulating around the roots.
