Vulkastrat® Propagation Substrate

Vulkastrat 0.5-2 Propagation Substrate is a high-quality mineral substrate developed for the propagation of young plants/cuttings and for growing seedlings. Our propagation substrate consists of washed pumice, lava and zeolite (clinoptolite), each with a grain size of 0.5-2mm. The particularly fine grain size of our propagation substrate makes it easier to prick out the seedlings later. The mineral substrate is also ideal for cultivation in cutting plates and seed trays and can also be used very well to grow and care for cacti and succulents in containers up to 7 cm in diameter.

The benefits of Vulkastrat Propagation Substrate

• Structurally stable substrate with an optimum air and water balance
• Purely mineral, therefore unattractive for pests and fungi
• Ideal for pricking
• Particularly fine-grained substrate
• Excellent for cultivation in cutting plates and seed trays
• Unfertilized substrate ensures rapid root development, allowing for better nutrient absorption after transplanting and faster growth
  

Application of Vulkastrat Propagation Substrate

Vulkastrat has a good water storage capacity and a high nutrient storage capacity. The substrate is approx. 25% heavier than Vulkaponic and can also be used for indoor greening. Due to its higher weight, it provides plants with a less developed root system with special support in the substrate structure. Also suitable as a hydroponic substrate and for all water-storing systems. When repotting, please note: Remove any loose material from the plants, place them in Vulkastrat at the same height and water well.

Our substrates are always unfertilized; we recommend using our KLANZ Vulkapower Orange fertilizer once or twice a year.
