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.
LITE-SOIL has received the “Natur im Garten” Seal of Approval from Nature in the Garden for LITE-STRIPS Bio1 2.5L.
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
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.
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.
