HydraFiber Specialty Short Fiber
HydraFiber® Specialty Short Fiber is an effective supplement or replacement for peat moss, thanks to their physical similarities. It provides the same benefits as the original HydraFiber Engineered Media but with shorter fibers designed specifically for smaller cells.
- Ideal to add to propagation mixes as an alternative to other substrates such as perlite
- Product is 100% engineered fiber, made from renewable sources and highly compressed at a 13:1 ratio for efficient shipping and storage
- HydraFiber processing equipment is required for effective use and maximum yield
- Fibers provide superior water-holding capacity versus other substrates and high air space for vegetative liner production and seed germination
