Top 5 Irrigation Mistakes in Hydroponics (and How Rockwool Can Fix Them)

Rockwool (also known as stone wool) is an inert, non-organic material made from melted basalt or volcanic rock.

It doesn’t react with fertilizers or chemicals, maintains a stable structure, and provides excellent water and air balance — all crucial for healthy root development.

Key properties:

Excellent water retention
Chemical inertness (stable pH)
Mechanical strength and durability

These characteristics make it an ideal growing medium for modern hydroponic systems.
