Polystyrene granulate 5-15mm
in a resealable 4L zipper bag, ideal for orchid cultivation
This lightweight, airy Styrofoam granulate is the ideal supplement for orchid substrates that tend to retain too much moisture. It ensures improved air circulation in the root area, keeps the roots comfortably warm, and does not become waterlogged – perfect for sensitive species or in high humidity.
Especially in combination with bark, sphagnum, or other substrate components, the Styrofoam granulate prevents waterlogging, improves drainage, and thus provides healthy, vital plants. The resealable 4 L bag makes handling clean and easy.

Our greenhouses are equipped with modern energy screens and double glazing to efficiently save on heating costs. Additionally, we collect rainwater over the entire roof area of 9,000 square meters and use only this water to irrigate all our crops. We collect the rainwater in underground tanks with a total volume of 600,000 liters.
Since 2007, we have been heating our entire operation with a fully automated 850 kW wood chip heating system and a 100,000-liter buffer storage tank. Environmentally friendly and CO2-neutral. Only to support during very cold winter days and nights is a conventional oil heating system available.
Since 2014, the heating has been supported by a solar thermal system with an annual yield of about 20 megawatt-hours.
In 2020, we installed a photovoltaic system with 30 kW peak and have been producing more green electricity per year than our entire operation requires.
Since 2021, we use exclusively pots for our self-produced plants that are not only 100% recyclable but are also entirely made from recycled pots. To this end, we collect all used pots that arise in our operation and have them picked up in big bags by our pot supplier Göttinger. There, the pots are cleaned and processed in a water-free recycling facility into new pots that come back to us.
