HydraFiber - HydraFiber Specialty Short Fiber for Peat Moss Replacement

HydraFiber Specialty Short Fiber serves as an effective supplement or replacement for peat moss due to their similar physical properties. Specifically tailored for smaller cells, this engineered fiber provides the same benefits as the original HydraFiber Engineered Media. Ideal for propagation mixes, it can be used as an alternative to other substrates like perlite. The product consists of 100% engineered fiber made from renewable sources and is highly compressed at a 13:1 ratio for efficient shipping and storage. Effective use requires HydraFiber processing equipment for maximum yield. The fibers offer superior water-holding capacity and maintain high air space, facilitating vegetative liner production and seed germination. Technical evaluations, such as the Loss on Ignition (ASTM D586-19) and the Porometer Test Method by NCSU Substrates Lab, show its high efficiency. Suitable for horticultural professionals involved in commercial production, the product can lead to better plant quality and optimized soil mixing processes.
