Hortifibre®
100% renewable patented wood fiber
Safe and reliable production
HORTIFIBRE® is a professional process; wood fiber is manufactured via a patented thermo-mechanical process which consists in crushing coniferous wood chips sourced from a sawmill.
It is produced in 4 factories in Europe.
Environmentally-friendly and economical
HORTIFIBRE® is a renewable raw material which makes use of a by-product of the wood industry, sourced from sustainably-managed forests. This wood fiber is 100% natural as it contains no chemical or material additives.
HORTIFIBRE® is biodegradable. The wood fiber degrades after use, leaving no residue. Itslow weight reduces transport costs.
Advantages for professional growers
Aeration: The high porosity of HORTIFIBRE® LD improves aeration of the substrate.
Water retention: A mixture of 50% HORTIFIBRE® LD + 50% blonde peat or coco coir offer the same water-retention capacity as peat.
Easy re-wetting: HORTIFIBRE® is naturally hydrophilic.
Root development: Improved drainage and water retention encourages fast and healthy plant growth.
