substrates
What is a substrate? Is it important to know the characteristics of my substrate?
A substrate is a controlled material created by man to substitute agricultural soil. A substrate serves as a base for germinating seeds, rooting propagules or for an already rooted plant to grow. A substrate can consist of a single material or be the result of a mixture of organic, mineral or synthetic materials.
Just like soil, it is essential to know the capacity of a substrate to provide the nutrients needed by a plant so that it can grow healthily.
