Results validated in the field
Our products are validated by real-world trials and independent scientific studies. Here is a selection of concrete results.
Chart: cumulative water use (gallons/m²) — Floriroll (104 and 85) vs control (140)
Sum Gallon/M2 chart — Floriroll 2cm, 4cm vs control, Kuwait trial
Cumulative values over 4 weeks of testing.
Highway #40 — Kuwait: up to 40% water savings
One-year comparison of landscaped plots with Floriroll versus a control plot (50 cm of soil). Rock wool rolls retain water near the roots and significantly reduce irrigation frequency.
Results
- Control: daily irrigation, 1,825 gallons/m²/year
- Floriroll 2 cm: weekly irrigation, 20–30% water savings
- Floriroll 4 cm: up to 40% water savings

TDIC Nursery, Abu Dhabi: green lawn with less water
In a desert environment, Floriroll instantly absorbs irrigation water with no evaporation or sand drainage losses. Very high and stable retention and re-absorption capacity.
Results
- Up to 30% water savings
- Zero water loss by evaporation or drainage
- Stable long-term performance

Pelargonium root comparison with 0%, 25% and 50% Florilène — Ljubljana 2019
Florilène at university: more vigorous plants
Culture trials by the Biotechnical Faculty of the University of Ljubljana over 8 weeks (pelargoniums), adding rock wool flakes to the substrate (0%, 25%, 50%) with identical watering.
Results
- Up to +50% shoot growth
- Root system up to 3× heavier
- Earlier flowering, more vigorous plants
- Substrate water retention capacity up to +62%
Material study (needled rock wool) — Maribor, 2014
Results of watermelon culture study with needled rock wool, Maribor 2014
Study conducted on needled rock wool material.
Watermelon trial, Maribor 2014 — needled rock wool
Study on watermelon culture in a substrate amended with needled rock wool. Results show significant improvement in growth and fruit quality compared to standard substrate.
Results
- Better substrate water retention
- Improved vegetative growth
- Superior fruit quality and calibre
Material study (needled rock wool) — CitiesAlive, 2016
Results of needled rock wool study for green roofs, CitiesAlive 2016
Study conducted on needled rock wool material.
Green roofs, CitiesAlive 2016 — needled rock wool
Study presented at the CitiesAlive 2016 congress on the performance of needled rock wool in intensive and extensive urban green roof systems.
Results
- Optimal water retention for lightweight roof substrates
- Performance stability over several years
- Proven compatibility with extensive and intensive systems
