HydraFiber Advanced Substrate helps professional growers improve plant quality and profitability with a consistent, reliable, domestic and sustainable alternative or amendment to coir, perlite, peat and other substrates. Made from renewable, virgin loblolly pine wood and bark and engineered with the Thermally Refined® process, it delivers high air space, superior water-holding capacity and more available water to roots. Growers report strong, uniform root development and faster rooting across a wide range of crops. Compressed HydraFiber Ultra and EZ Blend formats reduce freight, storage and unloading needs, while year-round U.S. manufacturing, locked-in contract pricing and technical support help stabilize growing media costs and protect supply.
