Growing with HydraFiber

HydraFiber Physical Characteristics

A short overview of the physical and chemical characteristics of HydraFiber and how that impacts the air space and water-holding capacity of the mix.

“Since raising our inclusion rates, we’ve had no issues with the quality of our plants.”

Jeff Murphy

Operations Manager of Production and Maintenance

Altman Plants, Giddings, Texas

“The HydraFiber limits the fertilizer leach out and there’s much better color on material. We aren’t losing the fertilizer with watering anymore. That’s really what I’m seeing more than anything.”

Production Manager

Petitti Family of Farms, Bedford, OH

“You’re getting the same thing you’re getting from perlite or vermiculite, but you’re also getting more air porosity, more water-holding capacity, and better plant performance, so it really makes sense to switch to a HydraFiber blend.”

Mike Spitzner

General Manager

Charles Spitzner Nursery, Long Island, New York

"I like the root system I get from HydraFiber due to the high porosity in the mix."
