The perfect start for you tropical plants
Tropical plants are more than just beautiful, they are also delicate, root slowly and depend strongly on the right conditions from day one. Whether you grow palms, phalaenopsis, strelitzias, anthurium, calatheas or ficus, you probably face the same challenge: you want to give your young plants the stability and structure they need. Without compromizing on sustainability.
At Growcoon, we understand the fragility of tropical cuttings. We have seen how traditional plugs can fall short, how roots get damaged during transplanting, and stick to cell walls or how plug materials leave unwanted residues in the soil. That is why we have developed a solution that addresses all these problems at once: Growcoon.
Growcoon: Your solution, your support.
Growcoon is not just another plug, the biodegradable net is designed to provide optimal support for the root ball. It nurtures your root ball, prevents damage and promotes root development. The unique open net structure allows water, nutrients and oxygen free passage, creating an ideal environment for early root development - while keeping the plug fully intact during transplanting. And because Growcoon breaks down naturally, it leaves no traces in the soil, so no plastic, no toxic residue, just clean, healthy growth.
Trusted by Elstgeest Young Plants
With a wide portfolio of exotic and tropical species, Elstgeest Young Plants needed a plug that could deliver both flexibility and reliability. That’s where Growcoon came in.

We have searched a long time for a system that fits in and worked hard on our cultivation performance. The results are very good now. We do everything we can to provide our customers with the best products!”- Daan Elstgeest]
What Elstgeest saw was more than convenience, they experienced higher yields. They were able to shorten their cultivation cycle and overall quality improved. Losses from transplanting disappeared and, perhaps most importantly, the process became more predictable, scalable and sustainable.
