Plant Substrates
Plant substrates are the foundational materials used to support plant growth, providing a stable environment for roots and essential nutrients. They can be natural, like soil, compost, or peat moss, or synthetic, such as specially formulated growing media. Substrates influence water retention, aeration, and nutrient availability, directly affecting plant health and growth. Choosing the right substrate depends on the specific requirements of the plant species and cultivation method. Proper substrate management ensures optimal root development, supports healthy plant development, and can enhance overall productivity in gardening, horticulture, or landscaping.
