HydroFLAKES® reduces costs in the maintenance and care of your nursery, saving water and money.
GreenTechnologies® produces and markets the world’s best engineered substrates, called hydroFLAKES® and hydroFOAM®, which are used as growing media for forest nurseries and arboriculture.
They are added as flakes in bags, pots and mixed with the soil, in concentrations of 15% and 30%, to plant trees. The roots are strengthened from the nursery. Trees will grow healthy from the start and the water and air reserves that hydroFLAKES® maintains will allow you to create more biomass, more healthy wood. The branches grow longer and in greater numbers. hydroFLAKES® is lightweight and very stable. It increases productivity in the nursery and reduces transportation costs.
HydroFLAKES® have the ability to retain at least up to 60% water and 38% air, in addition to releasing water as required by the root system, favoring excellent root growth and avoiding excessive loss of irrigation water.
In short, hydroFLAKES® is your best ally because:
- Generates significant water savings
- Reduces maintenance costs.
- Facilitates the maintenance of green areas in public spaces
- It makes it easy to apply in non-traditional green areas, such as green roofs or vertical gardens.
- It decreases the mortality rate of ornamental plants.
- It generates the possibility of exporting living plants, with light and inert soils.
- Increase the shelf life of the plant.

Seedling quality
Seedlings grow healthier, faster, and without water stress.
Tree quality
More and longer branches, more biomass.
Water Saving
HydroFLAKES® efficiently absorbs water from irrigation or rainwater and easily releases it as required by the tree.
More air to the roots
Both in a bag or pot for seedlings, and in the field for trees. Gas exchange in the roots is highly efficient.

More and Better Biomass in Trees: Healthier Nurseries
When the substrate is mixed with the usual soils, even in small concentrations of up to 30%, more and longer branches develop, the biomass is much healthier and faster.
Improves life expectancy
The water available in tree planting increases by 5 to 6% for every 10% of hydroFLAKES® in the soil mix.
HydroFLAKES® Improves Sandy Soils
It improves water retention and air availability for the roots, as it increases the number of pores, this ensures a healthy root.
It's environmentally friendly
HydroFLAKES® is biodegradable, compostable, environmentally friendly, ultra-light and durable.
