Our mineral substrates are all-natural products and can be fully returned to the ecological cycle.
Mineral substrates are increasingly being used for houseplants, indoor and outdoor wall greening and in garden and landscape design. It is also used in aquarium and terrarium care to create a stable and attractive environment for aquatic and soil organisms. Our mineral substrates consist of the aggregates zeolite, pumice and lava. The raw materials pumice and lava are of volcanic origin and are extracted in the volcanic Eifel region. The use of these two raw materials is extremely valuable from an ecological perspective, as both have a very high pore volume and do not require any further artificial, energy-intensive processing. Our substrates are free from harmful substances and insects and are therefore also suitable for allergy sufferers.
Mineral substrates offer significant benefits for the growth of plants in containers and building green areas, especially where the conditions for plant growth need to be carefully controlled and optimized. Substrates consisting of inorganic materials such as lava, pumice, perlite or vermiculite are an excellent choice for modern greening projects.
Improved drainage and prevention of waterlogging
Thanks to their porous structure, mineral substrates ensure excellent drainage, which is crucial for the health of plant roots. They effectively prevent waterlogging, thus reducing the risk of root rot and other root diseases. This property is particularly important in container plantings, where there is an increased risk of water accumulation because of the limited amount of soil and depth.
Optimum air circulation
The porous nature of these substrates enables an excellent aeration of the root area. Good air circulation is essential for the absorption of oxygen by the roots, an important factor for healthy plant growth and development. Air quality is often a major challenge, especially in urban greening projects where mineral substrates provide clear benefits.
Stable physical structure
Mineral substrates are characterized by their high structural stability, which is maintained over long periods of time. In contrast to organic substrates, they do not decompose. This means that they retain their physical properties, therefore providing constant support for plant roots. This longevity makes them a cost-effective solution for building greening, where replacing the substrate can be difficult and expensive.
Nutrient management
Although mineral substrates themselves often contain few nutrients, they offer good conditions for efficient nutrient management. They can be enriched with nutrient solutions to meet the specific needs of the plants. Their ability to store and gradually release water and the dissolved nutrients ensure a controlled supply for plants.
Suitability for a wide range of plant types
Mineral substrates are suitable for a wide range of plants, from succulent xerophytes to moisture and shade-loving plants. This makes them a versatile choice for diverse greening projects, including rooftop gardens, vertical gardens and indoor greening.
Environmentally friendly
Mineral substrates are natural or recycled materials that offer an environmentally friendly alternative to peat and other less sustainable substrates. Their use supports sustainable horticulture and landscaping initiatives without causing major environmental impacts.
The sum of these benefits explains why mineral substrates are becoming increasingly popular for container planting and building greening projects. They provide a reliable basis for healthy plant growth, while at the same time supporting sustainability and urban green space development goals.
