Purpose
Growing seedlings of vegetable and flower crops.
Planting seeds is carried out directly into the block hole, or alternately, a plug germinated plantlet can be placed into the block.
The characteristics of the SPELAND MID blocks make them an optimum product for growing strong plants with a good balance of vegetative and generative development.

Production versions
- Groupings of blocks that include multiple pieces will reduce the installation time and decrease the costs for the preparation for sowing;
- Blocks are available with one or two holes for seeds or plugs;
- Blocks are available with a top ring;
- Manufacturing a cube with drainage grooves at the bottom, which improves moisture distribution.
Drainage grooves may be provided along the length and/or width of the die.
Characteristics
- The mostly vertical-chaotic fiber formation provides constant dimensions;
- An optimum air and water balance in the root system is achieved due to the presence of large and small pores in the material;
- Easy absorption of nutrient solution with even distribution throughout the volume.
This allows for deep and voluminous inward root penetration, resulting in vigorous seedling growth and, ultimately, a healthy, well-balanced plant.
* It is possible to produce SPELAND MID materials of another size.
