NEPTUNE HYDROPONICS Neoprene Collar Discs

Neoprene Collar Discs: Essential Support for Aeroponic Cultivation

Neoprene collar discs are essential elements in aeroponic growing and cutting rooting systems. Made from neoprene, a durable and completely waterproof material, these discs are designed to hold plant stems firmly in the lid of aeroponic systems. This allows the roots to be exposed to the spray of water and nutrients from the diffusers, ensuring that the plants stay hydrated and healthy throughout the growth process.

These discs are ideal for facilitating the rooting of cuttings, as they provide a controlled environment where the roots can develop quickly without the risk of dehydration or disease. Their design with a central cut makes it easy to insert the stem, allowing it to fit perfectly into the grid pot and the roots to receive the right amount of water and nutrients.

Neoprene Collar Disc Varieties

5 cm Collar Discs (Pack of 100 Units)

The standard version includes 100 5cm collar discs in each pack. These discs are ideal for most aeroponic systems and can be reused for multiple growing cycles. However, over time, the discs may accumulate lime and become porous, which can reduce their effectiveness. To avoid salt or algae problems in the crop, it is recommended to replace them annually.

7.5 cm Collar Discs (Pack of 80 Units)

For those requiring greater support for larger plants, a 7.5cm variant is available in a pack of 80. These larger discs offer a wider support area, making them ideal for plants with sturdier stems or growing systems that require more room for root growth.

Colored Collar Discs (Pack of 192 Units)

A coloured variant is also available, which includes 192 5cm discs per pack . These different coloured discs not only offer the same advantages as the standard discs, but also allow growers to organise and differentiate different genetics or growth phases of plants. This feature is especially useful in grows where multiple varieties or genetic experiments are being managed, making it easier to identify and manage each type of plant.

Benefits and Considerations

Neoprene collar discs are an economical and practical solution to ensure your plants are kept firmly supported and well hydrated in aeroponic systems. Their design and materials ensure a long lifespan, although it is advisable to replace them regularly to prevent residue build-up and maintain plant health. With options in different sizes and colours, these discs are an essential addition for any grower looking to optimise the growth and development of their plants in a controlled environment.
