A growth medium is one of the most important elements of health for any plant. The classic growth medium, of course, is outdoor soil.

Over the years, growers have experimented with a wide range of solid, semi-solid, and liquid growth media, each with unique traits. The right growth medium is essential to ensuring that the plant steadily receives all the nutrients it needs.

 

1. Warmth

No matter where they are naturally found, all plants require sufficient warmth to thrive. For all living things, biological activity decreases as temperatures decrease. Plus, cold air simply has less life-giving moisture than warmer air.

 

With sufficient warmth, cells throughout the plant are empowered to engage fully in photosynthesis, converting heat from sunlight into energy.

 

2. Sufficient Light

Plants are unique in that light is essential for them throughout their entire lifespan. As sunlight reaches a plant, the green pigment called chlorophyll absorbs it.

This generates the energy to meet systemic demands for photosynthesis, where carbon dioxide is

altered into a natural food source. The process also results in the oxygen we all breathe.

 

3. Enough Water

Water is the other key element in photosynthesis. Without it, plants wither and die. Unlike light and air, water must usually be absorbed through the root system.

Roots carry the water to all of the leaves, flowers, and other components of the plant.

Along with carbon dioxide, water is the fuel transformed by chemical action into glucose, sugar the plant uses for growth and repair.

 

4. Proper Nutrients

All plants require certain essential nutrients. Some flourish with a different ratio of elements than others, but all of them need the same basic building blocks.

For example, all fertilizers must contain some amount of nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium to be effective. This is the key to the best possible blend of super soil: Delivering the right nutrients in the right combinations through natural, highly bioavailable sources.
