USE DEGRADABLE ELLEPOT PAPER TO STABILISE YOUR GROWING MEDIA FOR OPTIMAL PROPAGATION – REDUCE PLASTIC AND WASTE IN YOUR PRODUCTION
With the Ellepot® Propagation System for cacao and the grow smarter approach, the entire propagation process is optimised. Creating the best possible growing conditions for plants is of course our focus, but the Ellepot System is also designed with other important business factors in mind, such as reducing plastic use and giving young plants the best conditions for rooting.
Ellepots can be planted directly into the ground, thereby significantly reducing transplant shock. And, as plant out is fast and smooth, you can experience a significant reduction in labour costs. Our studies show that propagation time can potentially be reduced by up to 40%, simply by switching from plastic to paper pots.
