Growing Media
Growing medium, also known as grow medium, culture medium, or substrate is one of the most widely used material for growing greenhouse crops. A growing medium holds water and nutrients, and is a place where gas and nutrient exchanges occur. It also provides an anchor point for a plant's roots. Growing medium is specifically designed to support plant growth and can either be solid or liquid.
