GelPonics Granules

A heap of GelPonics granules, which are non-synthetic hydrogel formulations designed for agricultural use, set against a solid beige background. The granules appear in various irregular shapes, predominantly in a dark, charcoal gray color, suggesting their absorption and retention capabilities for water and nutrients in hydroponic systems. The image emphasizes the granules' texture and density, highlighting their potential role in supporting plant growth by efficiently managing water resources.

Improve water retention of growth mediums by adding GelPonics granules

GelPonics Granules are easy to store and are ready for tiling or spreading in arable fields to improve water retention and reduce soil erosion. GelPonics Granules are biocompatible and degrade naturally in soil.

GelPonics Granules are easily used as a dressing for potted plants to improve plant transport and shelf life.

GelPonics Sheets

Two GelPonics sheets positioned against a soft, solid beige background. The left sheet features a surface punctuated by numerous small, raised nodes, suggesting a texture designed to facilitate water and nutrient flow or attachment points for plant roots. The right sheet appears smooth, with a subtle sheen that reflects light, indicating its role possibly as a barrier or a base layer in a hydroponic setup. Both sheets are made from a non-synthetic hydrogel formulation, optimized for use in advanced agricultural systems to enhance plant growth and water efficiency. Their metallic gray color gives them a sleek, modern appearance, highlighting the innovative approach of GelPonics in sustainable agriculture.

Sustainably support your plants through the whole growth cycle

GelPonics Sheets come as individual rolls for controlled environmental agriculture. Our sheets can be cut to fit directly into industry-standard propagation and carry trays.

After use, GelPonics Sheets are easy to clean and sustainably dispose of. Use this to replace other growth substrates like stone wool, peat and coir.

GelPonics Plugs

A collection of three different types of GelPonics plugs, designed for use in hydroponic and aeroponic systems, displayed against a light beige background. On the left, there's a dark gray plug with two holes, resembling a split design to accommodate plant stems or roots, suggesting its use in supporting young plants or cuttings. The center features a cylindrical plug, textured with numerous small pores to enhance moisture retention and aeration, crucial for root development. On the right, there are two rolled plugs, one partially unrolled to show its flexible fabric-like material, indicating they can be adjusted to fit various plant sizes or systems. Each plug is crafted from non-synthetic hydrogel formulations, emphasizing sustainability and efficiency in modern agricultural practices.

Compatible with all growth systems, we can shape GelPonics to your needs

GelPonics Plugs can be easily shaped to fit into pots and troughs of all shapes and sizes. The GelPonics substrate can hold all the water and oxygen required for healthy root growth.

GelPonics Plugs are light and easy to transport. They can be used in various agricultural settings and plant types.
