We have a long history and over 120 years of expertise and market knowledge in the field of substrates, research and innovation. In our new section 'Did you know that….?' we regularly inform you about practical situations that we encounter in the sector, we tell you about insights obtained in practice, we give you cultivation tips and we share our knowledge about all other interesting substrate-related matters.
We have collected all these topics for you in our Academy and you can consult all knowledge articles.
If you want more information about a subject or if you want to suggest a new item, please contact our marketing department at info@lensli.com.
Our team of dedicated, enthusiastic specialists is happy to help!
Have Fun Growing,

Broil
Do you ever encounter higher temperatures in substrate and do you want to know how to deal with this? Then read on quickly!
Calcium
Did you know that Calcium is an essential element for plants? Would you like to know more about the function of calcium for plants and why this is so important for the growth and quality of the crop? Then read on!
Phosphate
Did you know… Phosphate is vital for plants? It plays a role in a wide range of biological processes; from energy production to genetic stability. The management of phosphate, both in the soil and in the plant itself, is therefore an important aspect for optimal growth.
Potassium
Potassium is an essential mineral for plant health and growth. It plays an important role in the cell structure of plants. The absorption of potassium by the roots increases when the plant starts to grow generatively. As soon as a plant blooms or starts fruiting, the uptake from substrate will increase sharply.
Slow release fertilizers
Did you know that... you can save a lot of time, energy and money by using the right fertilizer combination? And that renewable raw materials require a completely different fertilization approach than peat? For your convenience, we have listed all the facts about regular versus slow-release fertilizers in the substrate for you. Read on quick.
Minimum production order
Have you always wanted to know why we use minimum production orders? Read all about this in our knowledge base!
NP Fertilizer
Did you know that together with our partners we have developed a new fertilizer especially for low-peat and peat-free substrates? This new fertilizer is the answer to the effect that renewable raw materials often have on the input and extraction of nutrients. Want to know more about our new NP-Mix? Then read on!
Potting behaviour
As you no doubt know, substrate is sensitive to compaction. Of course you already take this into account when you order a new medium, but are you aware of what else influences substrate compaction and consumption? Then read on quickly!
RPP – Veen
Did you know that… RPP labeled substrates contain peat, and are still a lot more responsible than substrates with regular peat? Read on quick!
Saprotrophic Fungi
Do you ever come across fungi or mushrooms in the substrate and do you want to know what you can do about it? Then read on here!
silicon
Did you know that silicon is very important for the construction of the cell walls of a plant? Silicon also improves the health and resilience of a plant and protects against certain pathogens. Read more about the importance of silicon in cultivation.
Nitrogen fixation
Do you ever encounter low nitrogen numbers in your substrate? Then read more here!
Low-peat and peat-free substrate: what does that mean for me?
What should a grower take into account when using substrates with circular and renewable components? Read more here!
Packaging forms
We offer our customers various packaging options for the delivery of our substrates. Our substrates can be supplied as desired in Bulk, Big Bales, Big Bags, 45L bags and Growbags.
