LITE-STRIPS
Bio1 Cellulose

The water storage for plants close to the roots

LITE-STRIPS Bio1 are 100 % biodegradable, 7 cm long strips of nonwoven that are simply mixed into the substrate. Up to 90% of the nonwoven volume can be filled with water and thus help plants through longer dry periods. 1 kg LITE-STRIPS Bio1 store up to 10 l of plant-available water.

Material: 100% biodegradable cellulose fibres

ADVANTAGES:

  • Water only half as often
  • Stores water directly at the roots
  • Substrate improvement
  • Sustainable greening
  • Simple and easy installation
  • Loosened and better aerated soil
  • Ideal substitute for peat
  • Low weight
  • Optimal supply of plants with water & air

Description

Since water storage for plants is located directly near the roots, plants can access the water more easily and effectively when needed, extending watering intervals. The elongated LITE-STRIPS absorb water from the surface to the roots, make dense soil more permeable and function as a substrate improver.

100% BIODEGRADABLE

The LITE-STRIPS Bio1 are made of cellulose fibres and are 100% biodegradable after approx. 1-2 years. They are intended as support in the vegetation phase or for 1-year-old plants.
