I received a good question from a customer, WHAT ARE ROOT RIOT CUBES MADE FROM?

Root Riot cubes are made primarily from organic, biodegradable materials, specifically a spongy peat-based substrate. They are designed to provide an ideal air-to-water ratio to promote fast root development in seedlings and cuttings.

Here’s what they typically consist of:

• Milled and stabilized peat – the main ingredient, offering good moisture retention.

• Natural latex binders – used to give the cubes structure and resilience without harming plants.

• pH balanced and pre-moistened – making them ready to use straight out of the package.

• Sometimes microbial additives or mild nutrients are included to support root growth.

These cubes are popular in hydroponics, soil-based gardening, and cloning due to their ease of use and consistent results.
