Geranium is one of the considerably - selling plants worldwide . Its persona is not needs exclusive , but it is certainly special . Before the plant is ready for sales event in garden centers and supermarket , many people have already been involved in the appendage .
One of these people is Onno Boeren , a advisor at Green Products . As a advisor , Onno likes to look at the client and the flora . The company is the producer of the GreenPlug - a composition pot , a shape - hold back plug that can be tailored to the single wish of the client . Full of enthusiasm he talks about his role and the role of the GreenPlug in only a belittled part of the life rhythm of a geranium .
" Before a geranium is placed on our GreenPlug as a cutting , much thought has already conk into the whole rooting process . When a novel customer near us for a geranium , we of course have a stock good plug and tray useable for this client . However , we go much further than this , " says Onno . " As soon as a customer is interested in working with our chaw , we plan a sojourn first . How is this potential new client used to work ? Are they a ' wet ' grower , or are they a ' dry ' cultivator ? Do they want to be in ascendency , or can the plug offer more fender ? "
When all these questions have been reply , Onno starts composing the mixture . " It is a challenge to put all the desired characteristics in a hack , but we have come a long way of life , " say Onno . By mixing a large variety of different peat types or other raw cloth such as perlite , cocoanut , or Lucius DuBignon Clay , you eventually come close to meet the grower ’s want . Sometimes we are a second refractory : we listen especially to what the client want , and not only to what the customer says . "
raw tray"For a number of client with geraniums , we were also allowed to think along in the development of a unexampled tray . To achieve the best possible termination with our GreenPlug paper pot , it is significant that the plug is placed in a good tray or cup . To be able-bodied to spring up a tray , the number must be sufficiently big . With the knowledge that Green Products has built up over the twelvemonth , a tumid bit of trays have been develop that countenance a young plant to develop in an even better and goodly way . "
Because Green Products firmly release the GreenPlug - paperpots , soil particle continue in place . During output , soil particles are set on top of each other like ramp up stoppage . The capillaries persist intact through this method acting of filling . As a agriculturist , you may therefore continue to irrigate on a regular basis , as the moisture drain away smoothly . produce drier in the set off stage is made prosperous by the paperpots ' enduring characteristics .
" specially the zonal types like to remain drier from the first solution phase onwards " , concludes Onno . " You have to take this into account when prefer the soil mix . The availability of calcium from the dolokal ( powdered calcium hydroxide ) is insufficient . supererogatory atomic number 20 salt is added as a gunstock plant food . A higher bent pH is crucial . "
