Stonewool is a mineral wool made from molten basalt and limestone rock that is spun into fibres and then compressed into cubes, blocks or slabs. 

Care should be taken when handling by wearing gloves and mask, the fibres can cause irritation to the skin, and if breathed in they can also irritate the lungs.

• Don’t squeeze the cube especially when it’s wet
• Always pre-condition in pH 5.5 water before using to disolve lime
• Pre-soak from 30 seconds to 30 minutes, depending on the product size
• Water only when there’s light - never water in the dark
• Optimum room temperature for growing environment is 18.5- 28 for most species. Temperatures above 26.7o C inside the growing media leads to depleted oxygen levels, encouraging root disease
