Meeting on peat-free kalanchoe in 'de Kas'

Van der Knaap Group innovation center 'de Kas'

Recently, a number of kalanchoe growers met at Van der Knaap Group's innovation center 'de Kas' to view and discuss the trial of kalanchoe on alternative substrates.

In 'de Kas' there is a trial of kalanchoe this spring. These are grown on substrates that do not contain peat. The results so far were evaluated positively by the visitors.

Trial in 'de Kas'
Social discussions are putting pressure on the use of peat and growers are increasingly facing a demand from the market for peat-free grown kalanchoe. Among others from Great Britain. Reason enough to set up a trial at innovation centre 'de Kas' in which Van der Knaap is growing kalanchoe on substrates without peat.
