Clay Paddles
Compact & Precise Rooting MediumCultiwool Original Clay Paddles are engineered to deliver precision, hygiene, and consistency in propagation environments. Their inert, clay-based structure ensures excellent aeration, stable moisture retention, and reliable physical support for young roots. This creates optimal conditions for uniform root initiation while minimizing stress during the critical early growth phase.
Optimized Usage
Designed for maximum flexibility, Clay Paddles can be used as a standalone rooting medium or blended with other substrates to meet specific crop or system requirements. With a compact 1 × 1 × 1 cm format, they are significantly lighter and smaller than traditional propagation media, making them particularly suitable for seedling production, cuttings, clones, and sensitive medicinal plant varieties. Multiple sizes and hole configurations allow seamless integration into a wide range of propagation systems.
Advantages
All you need to know about Cultiwool Original Clay Paddles
Highly inert and sterile medium, no added nutrients or contaminants
Excellent air-to-water ratio for optimal root oxygenation
Uniform moisture retention for consistent hydration
Available in different sizes and hole options to suit propagation systems
Rigid structure prevents collapse even when saturated
Ease of transplanting, roots adapt cleanly to next substrate stage
Optimized Root Zone Environment
The physical structure of Clay Paddles promotes the formation of an airy root zone with efficient drainage and balanced moisture availability. This combination supports healthy root development, reduces the risk of waterlogging, and enhances oxygen availability at the root level, key factors for strong, uniform plant establishment.
Growers can tailor usage depending on cultivation strategy, either by deploying Clay Paddles independently or in combination with complementary substrates. This adaptability makes them suitable for diverse crops, propagation methods, and production goals, while maintaining consistency and control across propagation cycles.
