Rockwool slabs come in a variety of different sizes and they have special shapes and holes to accommodate growing plants. They are more environmentally friendly and less expensive than other artificial growing mediums and retain water and minerals very well. The slabs need to just be soaked for twenty four hours to prepare them for use, and after this they are ready to accommodate seedlings and individual plants.
