Companies specialising in tissue culture multiply large numbers of plants in a short space of time by propagating plant parts and plant cells in artificial culture media. This is done in vitro under sterile conditions. Unlike with cuttings, the primary rooting often takes place in vitro too. Tissue-culture or in-vitro plants are nowadays used by thousands of growers. For some species, such as Lisianthus, orchids, lilies and various perennials, this is the most common form of propagation. A steadily increasing proportion of such plants now make their way to end users in Greenplugs or Aero NT plugs.
Good plugs for cuttings have a homogeneous composition and are extremely suitable for use in automated processes. Our Greenplugs and the Aero NT plugs meet both those requirements.
As in the case of tissue-culture plants, close attention must be paid to the plant holes for cuttings, too. In consultation with our customers we determine whether pre-dibbled or pre-drilled plant holes are preferable. In the latter case the desired diameter and depth are also specified.
Green Products may rightly call itself a specialist in small paper pots. Our 13-mm Greenplug is currently the standard plug for many growers’ plug-in-plug systems.
