Strawberry plants in line for the Plantsauna
By teasing tray plants and strawberry cuttings a little with a special temperature treatment with steam, it s possible to supply disease free plant material without using chemicals. That s the principle of the Plantsauna in a nutshell. After years of development, the concept is now ready for practice. The first orders have been placed, and in the beginning of 2021 the first plants will go into the sauna at Dutch nurseries, tells Cas Barel from the originally Norwegian company Plantsauna AS.
How it works
To jump right in: What s the secret of this technique? That is the combination of the special, airtight room with a humidity of one hundred percent and a very strict temperature regime. We bring, at the moment one pallet at a time, the plants into the plant sauna, and treat them with a set recipe of temperature and time.
