The grow medium is the material in which your plants' roots grow. Choosing the best media for your crops is essential to achieve high harvest yields. Apart from soil, you can use alternatives such as coco-coir and clay pebbles. Soil promotes plant development by offering anchorage, oxygen, water, and optimum temperatures. Coco coir is an inert and organic grow medium. It's derived from the inner husks of coconuts and retains increased water levels. Also, coco coir is pH neutral. This medium is used in hydroponic systems and container gardening. Clay-pebbles are the best option for hydroponic systems. Clay-pebbles are obtained from clay, which has been heated in a kiln and expanded into lightweight and porous pebbles. The medium is inert, pH neutral and protects your plants from harmful bacteria and pests. The right grow medium will ensure that your plants enjoy a cleaner environment and increased protection from diseases or pests.
