Original Starter Plugs
Cultiwool Original Starter Plugs - Reliable Start for Every PlantDesigned for ease and consistency, Cultiwool Original Starter Plugs offer growers a proven solution for propagation. Their balanced structure promotes even moisture distribution and strong initial rooting, ensuring every plant begins its cycle in optimal conditions. Available in multiple plug types and configurations, they are tailored to meet the specific needs of different crops and cultivation systems.
For a successful crop production
Cultiwool starter plugs are known for their uniformity and firmness, and are ideal for growing crops in a hydroponic system. Our high quality stone wool is a clean and inert product. Therefore, it provides a sterile environment and does not contain any harmful bacteria or pollutants which can affect root- and shoot development. It does not lock up or release any substances, ensuring all water and nutrients are available to the plant.
Use the starter plugs for your start prior to transplanting into our larger growing blocks. Our starter plugs come in different dimensions and packaging units.
