growing system

Stay ahead of the competition

Put the latest innovation in silviculture to work for you. With the Styroblock container growing system, you’ll stay ahead of the competition with healthier plants and more efficient and cost-effective operations. No other system gives you such precise control over the growing regime.


Total control
The grower’s advantage

Take your nursery operation to the next level. The Styroblock system brings the growing process under total control so you deliver seedlings that meet your customers’ exact specifications.

Control quality

Your customers demand seedlings of a specific size and root development. Using Styroblock containers, you achieve predictable results from greenhouse space. Seedling size is on target and on time.

Control costs

Save water. The Styroblock container system conserves water, with runoff from foliage directed to the root cavity.
Reduce labour costs. Every step in the Styroblock container growing system is labour-efficient and can be automated to factory processes.
Increase service life. Styroblock containers are rugged, mirror-smooth containers that resist root penetration and ensure problem-free extraction.
Use heated space efficiently. Increase the productivity of your heated greenhouse space through high-density planting with Miniblock™ containers in the winter months. These starter containers hold up to 540 seedlings each that can be transplanted into larger cavity containers later in the season.

With Styroblock containers, you achieve:

  • Intensive management of growing conditions so you can produce seedlings to precise specifications

  • Root training to avoid root spiraling
  • Maximum survivability of seedlings in adverse conditions because of stronger root systems.
