Peat-based Substrates

Peat-Based Substrates is a cultivation medium formulation primarily composed of decomposed organic matter derived from partially carbonized plant material accumulated under anaerobic conditions in peat bogs, distinguished by its high water retention, low nutrient content, and acidic pH, making it a foundational component in controlled-environment horticulture for plant propagation and growth.
