HydraFiber Inclusion Rates
Having higher inclusion rates of HydraFiber is helping ornamental growers by eliminating perlite and improving air space for better rooting. This video compares blend percentages at 30, 40 and 50 percent HydraFiber.

“Since raising our inclusion rates, we’ve had no issues with the quality of our plants.”
"After 30-plus years in the greenhouse industry, I’ve made the biggest changes in my substrate mixers with HydraFiber. After lots of trialing and tweaking, we’re at 55% peat, 25% coir, 25% HydraFiber and it’s working very well. We’re really getting a great, great root system that is going through that substrate, all the way down to the bottom of the pot. In all the years that I’ve mixed soil, I’ve never seen the root systems just permeate the soil ball like they are now. Get a good root system and the plant will come."
“HydraFiber has really been a game changer for us not only by reducing the cost on the mix, but the availability of it."
"We are using the 365WB HydraFiber material in our mix. The moisture content is about 55%, and the mix holds together like a loose snowball to give us the best 'loft' during filling. It rolls through the mixing line well and fill the pots nicely. Handling the new mix is a little different…but it's working!"
"Perennials are just beginning to get looked at, but from what I’m seeing, the results with HydraFiber are also comparable to the performance observed in other growing mixes."
