Direct answer

How should a buyer specify growing media?

Growing media are substrates such as coir, peat, stone wool, perlite and blends. Physical properties and salinity vary by source and processing, so buyers ask for the product specification and a recent analysis of the delivered lot.

Requirements

Suppliers, producers and exporters are responsible for their products meeting product, labelling, certification, phytosanitary and export requirements of the origin and destination countries. A listing does not confirm compliance, availability or suitability.

Availability and the ability to trade depend on the law of each origin, destination and transit country and on the relevant permits and approvals. SeedMatch Group is not a manufacturer, importer, exporter, seller or regulatory approver; requests are reviewed by our team before any commercial introduction. Each participant is responsible for the requirements of its own role under applicable law: suppliers for their products in the origin and destination countries, buyers for their own import permissions and due diligence. We do not guarantee any supplier's compliance. Participant responsibilities · Regulation & restricted items
