Why choose coconut substrate?<\/h2>\n

At Dutch Plantin, we believe sustainable growth starts with good choices. Coconut substrate is:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    Efficient in water use<\/strong> \u2013 ideal for drip irrigation.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Light and airy<\/strong> \u2013 stimulates strong root development.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Environmentally friendly<\/strong> \u2013 reusable and made from residual materials.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Proven reliable<\/strong> \u2013 used successfully for tomatoes, strawberries, herbs, flowers, and potted plants.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    \n

    \u201cWith coconut substrate we save water and<\/em> increase our yield. It\u2019s a win-win.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”37249″ image_size=”full” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#cacc9b” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”3%” bottom_padding=”40″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” row_position_desktop=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” color_overlay=”#ffffff” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”1″ gradient_direction=”top_to_bottom” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” parallax_bg=”true” parallax_bg_speed=”fast” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” left_margin=”0″ flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n

    How to get started easily<\/h2>\n

    Whether you\u2019re already familiar with substrates or using them for the first time, working with coconut is surprisingly simple. We guide you step by step.[\/vc_column_text][toggles style=”default” border_radius=”none”][toggle color=”Extra-Color-2″ heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”1. Make the right choice”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n

    There\u2019s a suitable form for every crop and cultivation system:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Growbags<\/strong>: for intensive greenhouse or tunnel cultivation.<\/li>\n
    • Blocks or briquettes<\/strong>: for easy logistics and flexible use.<\/li>\n
    • Loose mixes<\/strong>: perfect for propagation, pots, or hydroponics.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Our cultivation advisors are happy to help you choose the best product for your situation.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Extra-Color-2″ heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”2. Prepare your growing environment”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Before planting, a well-functioning irrigation system is essential. Ensure adequate drainage and climate control. Place the growbags or pots in position, cut drainage holes if needed, and hydrate the substrate until fully expanded. Depending on your crop, pre-buffering with calcium and lowering EC may be required. Ask us for a detailed manual.[\/vc_column_text][vc_video link=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/4PDajltjfTg?si=o2ds8KTiIWkIiegp” css=””][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Extra-Color-2″ heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”3. Initial growth phase”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]At the start, it\u2019s important to build up irrigation gradually.

Optimization during growth”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Throughout the cultivation cycle, monitoring is essential.
