Im planning to grow cut-flower roses in a run to waste hydroponic system. Would cocopeat be a suitable growing media?
Yes cocopeat is very suitable in the rose production. It is a natural fertilizer and eco-friendly. It has a balanced level of pH .It will make you rose more beautiful and fresh. It has long lasting effects. Save water up to 50%.
A.Cocopeat is ideal substrate for rose production ,it combines high water holding capacity with good AFP and an ideal ph. Our experience With rose production over the past twelve years has shown that roses root faster and with better fine root hair development in cocopeat.Cut flower production can be 12 to 15% higher in the first year when grown in cocopeat.
