About Cultilene
Why Cultilene
Cultilene is one of the two big names in horticultural rockwool, made for commercial glasshouses: consistent density, sterile, and a water-to-air balance that suits drip feeding. A propagation cube fits the transplanting cube, which sits on the slab.
Using rockwool
Soak in water adjusted to about pH 5.5 before use, keep it wrapped, never let it dry right out. Cubes under Plugs & Substrates, slabs under Rockwool Slabs.
