Benefits of Hydroponics
Growing
In A Non-Soil System
The media
we selected for our non-soil system is a specially treated coconut fiber.
Coconut fiber is a by-product derived from coconut growers in Sri Lanka,
India and other tropical countries. It has an excellent resilient structure
for growing roses and other crops. Coconut fiber gives young rose plants
an explosive start. It HAS exceptional oxygen and water holding capabilities
which stimulate a vigorous root system.
Water, nutrient,
and PH levels are monitored daily. These measurements are used to make
adjustments towards optimum levels. Computers help to deliver our nutrient
and watering schemes. This allows us to design custom programs based on
the age of our plants or specific varietal needs within our crop. The
ability to react quickly to each plant's needs maximizes production and
quality. Water recycling is also possible with this system of growing.
Add to this the knowledge that has been passed on through seven generations
of rose growers. We can proudly say we consistently produce roses with
the largest heads and the strongest stems in the market place.
