Another highlight for the 2025 season is the newly developed "BIO Presstopf" (art. 35174) growing and propagation substrate. With a peat substitute content of 30%, the finely structured substrate is particularly suitable for sowing and propagating vegetables. It is especially recommended for growing in press pots and contains black peat, LIGNOFIBRE® and substrate compost as well as an organic liquid fertiliser that ensures rapid availability of nitrogen after just a few days.
All of the positive properties of Coco Chips have been incorporated into the development of the new berry substrate at Gramoflor. The new "Topf-Blueberry" (art. 35172) is a universally applicable, highly peat-reduced container substrate for blueberries. It has an increased substrate moisture content and the pH value is adjusted to the level below 5 required for blueberries. The berry substrate contains 65% peat substitute raw materials, including Coco Chips, the quality wood fibre LIGNOFIBRE® and perlite. The combination of these alternative raw materials, peat, mineral fertiliser and gramoMICRO-DEPOT ensures optimum conditions for blueberry cultivation.
Now also 100% peat-free Gramoflor potting soil for outdoor and indoor use
After the successful introduction of peat-free tomato and vegetable soil two years ago, the range of Gramoflor hobby soils is now also being expanded to include a very versatile peat-free potting soil. It is a real quality soil with conventional fertilization.
Instead of peat, the tried and tested peat substitutes wood fibre LIGNOFIBRE,® coconut and quality compost are used. The peat-free Gramoflor potting soil is mineral-fertilised, well structured and very versatile. It is the ideal breeding ground for spring flowering plants, bedding and balcony plants as well as for perennials and small shrubs. This soil can therefore be used for almost all plants outdoors in the garden, on the terrace or balcony as well as indoors - a real all-rounder. The depot fertiliser it contains ensures a long-term supply of the plants with the relevant nutrients. However, re-fertilisation and watering behaviour must always be adapted for peat-free soils and require more attention overall.
Gramoflor is placing partnership-based, committed cooperation and security, which is so important for horticulture, at the heart of IPM 2026, summarising this under the slogan "Together. Committed. Secure."
"We know and understand the challenges of professional horticulture and are equally aware of our strengths. These lie primarily in our dedicated expert advice – from young plants to saleable plants – and in our high quality and safety standards, from raw materials to cultivation management," explains Gramoflor Managing Director Stefan Kreft.
Together
Gramoflor sees successful growth as a joint task!
The family business cultivates a spirit of partnership within the team and also with customers and business partners. Open, solution-oriented communication and transparency that promotes trust are the hallmarks of the company.
Committed
Gramoflor provides reliable substrate solutions!
This is ensured by continuous investment in our own production facilities, expert comprehensive advice and a high level of expertise in regional peat and sustainable peat substitutes.
Customer focus is the basis of success: Gramoflor ensures high customer and product satisfaction through personal support and practical solutions.
The company also continues to pursue a credible and consistent approach to sustainability: in January 2026, an audit for HORTICERT recertification was successfully carried out, confirming that Gramoflor continues to meet the highest sustainability standards.
In addition, Gramoflor has been setting standards in the successful development of living raised bogs for many years, enabling it to implement exemplary future solutions for bog restoration and regional raw material security.
Secure
Gramoflor provides security!
The soil and substrate company controls the most important raw materials itself, thus ensuring the best possible security of supply. Its own horticultural expertise guarantees the necessary success and crop security for its customers. Innovations and investments secure the future of the company. For example, the production plant in Vechta was recently extensively renovated and modernised over several months. The result is a significantly more efficient production process for the coming season. This means that customers can be supplied more quickly, efficiently and flexibly.
Quality from the outset! has always been Gramoflor's credo, and quality assurance and sustainability are particularly important.
Founded in 1908 as a peat trading company, Gramoflor GmbH & Co. KG is now a modern substrate company specialising in commercial horticulture. With around 130 employees at two plants in northern Germany and a production site on the Iberian Peninsula, we produce high-quality substrates for professional and amateur gardeners in Germany and abroad.
The most important corporate goal is to further intensify the use of sustainable and climate-friendly peat substitutes while ensuring crop safety. The Horticert certification received in October 2024 brings Gramoflor a decisive step closer to this goal. By receiving the certificate, the company can now demonstrably implement this and from now on has the opportunity to underpin sustainability in practice. At the same time, the company is a pioneer in professional horticulture, setting standards for the future.
