Quality of paramount importance
Own mother plants
Optimal quality is of paramount importance at Rötjes young plants. Nothing more and nothing less. And as we believe that the quality of propagation material is the determining factor for the ultimate quality of our cuttings, we work with material that complies with the very highest demands. For this reason, Rötjes young plants has its own mother plants, that are raised especially for the purpose of producing cuttings.
Frequent pruning
All the products at our company are subjected to frequent quality inspections, to ensure the plants are disease free and to create uniform quality. The cuttings are also frequently pruned, using modern and advanced pruning systems. The cuttings are pruned for the last time two weeks before delivery. This makes the cutting less susceptible than if they were pruned just prior to delivery. The re-growth is considerably better and the loss percentage much lower.
Shade house
As well as a 4-hectare greenhouse, Rötjes young plants also has a 5000 m2 shade house. This house is split into two sections: a cutting department, where soft or special products are rooted, and a section where the plants can be hardened off for an extra period.
Special fertilization system
Our company also has a special fertilization system. In the greenhouse connection points have been installed at 8-metre intervals for the various types of fertilized irrigation water. This system gives us a high degree of control over the development of the cuttings, so we can steer growth to correspond with the moment of delivery, by dosing the cuttings with extra fertilizer if necessary. Customised treatment, in other words!
Suitable for potting robot
Our products are also suitable for nurseries that use potting robots. The trays used on our company are placed on racks. This system keeps the roots in the cup so the plug plants can be easily removed from the trays and potted up without any damage.
