What is Oasis® made of?
Oasis® grower foam is a phonolic foam widely used in many industies including the horticulture,floral and building insulation.
The performance of these media is due, part, to the unique cell structure which closely resembles the cellular structure of the plant itself. The composition of the foams gives density (weight) for holding power and capillary action for feeding water to inserted cuttings.
