How to use

Video Tutorial – How to prepare Laflora gardening peat products for use.

1. Loosening: Loosen the densely packed peat substrate from the package by hand or with a suitable trowel, layer by layer.
2. Moistening: Thoroughly water the loosened peat substrate with clean water, which is very well absorbed. 
3. Planting: Plants can be transplanted after 2-3 hours (depending on the size of fractions).
4. Feeding the Plants: Watering and fertilizing intervals should be adjusted according to the individual needs of the cultivated plants.

1. Sowing. For seed sowing, fine-grained peat substrates (0-7 mm) are typically used (taking into account the individual requirements of crops).
2. Pots. For growing young plants and seedlings in pots, medium-fraction peat substrates (0-20 mm) are typically used (taking into account the individual requirements of crops).
3. Container seedlings. For growing plants in containers, coarse-grained peat substrates (0-40 mm) with higher water absorption capacity are used.

1. Mixing and incorporation of the substrate. Ready-to-use peat substrates should be mixed with leaf compost or fertile garden soil in a ratio of 1:1. Spread the mixed substrate evenly on the planting site and incorporate it into the existing soil.
2. Mulching. Peat substrates for plantation mulching can be used directly from packages.

1. Microclimate. A favorable microclimate is determined by optimal regime of light, temperature and humidity.
2. Determine the composition of water. Water contains various substances, so it is very important to determine the chemical composition of irrigation water.
3. Basic condition. The components of peat substrates require an appropriate moisture regime. Excessive watering should be excluded.
    

1. Correct. Peat substrates should be stored in dry, cool places, protected from direct sunlight.  
2. Incorrect. Products should not be stored in warm, humid places, such as a greenhouse. The composition must not be changed arbitrarily, as this may affect the development of the plant.

1. Open products. The purchased product must be used immediately.
2. Prepacked products. The shelf life of the prepacked product is 12 months. Peat products can be used for soil improvement also after the specified expiration date.
