Gramoflor Ibérica has introduced its Premium GX substrate to support the intensive growth requirements of poinsettias, according to a report by interempresas.net. The product, manufactured at the company’s facility in Moixent, Spain, aims to maintain the physical and nutritional stability necessary for plants to achieve uniform development and healthy root systems.
Composition and soil technology
The substrate is formulated from a blend of blonde peat, German black peat, Lignofibre, gramoFLAKES, and gramoXchange. The inclusion of gramoXchange—an atomized clay developed by Gramoflor—is designed to increase the substrate’s cation exchange capacity. This technical addition improves the retention and availability of nutrients, which the company identifies as a critical factor for long-cycle crops like the poinsettia. By stabilizing the balance between water, air, and nutrients, the substrate supports the plant’s structure from the initial rooting phase through to the development of colorful bracts.
Applications beyond holiday crops
While the product is currently being used to prepare poinsettias for the upcoming holiday season, it is also utilized for other ornamental species. Growers apply Premium GX to crops such as chrysanthemums and cyclamens. In these varieties, the substrate’s physical stability remains a primary factor for producers aiming to ensure high ornamental quality. As the current growing cycle nears its end, plants cultivated with this mixture are demonstrating balanced vegetative growth and the expected coloration.
