The perfect start for your tropical plants
Tropical plants are stunning, but also delicate. They root slowly and rely on the right conditions from day one. Whether you're growing palms, phalaenopsis, strelitzia, anthurium, calathea, or ficus, you're likely facing the same challenges. The question is: How do you give young plants the stability and structure they need, without compromising on sustainability?
At Growcoon, we understand this fragility. We see how traditional plugs fall short — how roots are damaged during transplanting, stick to the cell walls, or how plug materials leave unwanted traces in the soil. That’s why we developed a solution that tackles all these challenges at once: Growcoon.
Growcoon: a foundation you can rely on
Growcoon is not your average plug. Its biodegradable mesh supports the root ball, prevents damage, and stimulates root development. Thanks to the open net structure, water, oxygen, and nutrients can move freely allowing plant roots to grow without limits. And during transplanting? The plug and root system stay perfectly intact, helping to prevent losses.
After use, Growcoon naturally breaks down, leaving behind nothing but water and CO₂. No harmful residues, no microplastics, no waste. Just healthy growth.
Trusted by Elsgeest Young Plants
Elstgeest Young Plants was looking for a reliable and flexible system to support their diverse mix of species and varieties. They found exactly that in Growcoon.
The results? A shorter cultivation cycle, higher quality, reduced losses, and greater predictability. And that paves the way for scaling up and making their operations more sustainable.
We grow a lot of different species and varieties. Everything mixed together. So every time it’s a puzzle what we grow where and in which tray. Every crop has its own specifications. We have searched for a long time for a system that fits in with this and worked hard on our cultivation performance. The results are very good now. We do everything we can to provide our customers with the best products!
