Lightbulb Local Sources for Primeagra

Our local hydroponic supplies store is considering ordering and stocking Primeagra, but we can't find the manufacturer or master distributor for the product. Do you know who that would be?

Thanks.
LisaBC~

Hi Lisa
A PM is a Private Message. Click on the 'private message' link at the top left of this page, underneath the word Login. It is our version of internal email.

It will open a window and Private Messages options can be found under the column heading called Control Panel.

Pls post again if you have any problems.

Let us know if a local source gets established for PrimeAgra. Will this company ship to AB? If so they just got another customer. From the US it is twice as expensive to ship to here (mostly FedEx handling charges on top of the shipping charges)

Hmmm, why not make your own and sell it to the hydroponics stores? Is it hard to make? OR just clay balls that get baked?

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

LECAs (Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregates) were originally designed for use in concrete, but most of what is in the marketplace today has been merely remarketed into horticulture. As such, it may- or may not be particularly good for s/h culture under your individual conditions.

PrimeAgra, on the other hand, was developed specifically for horticulture.

I have tried to get a Canadian distributor for several years, but have been unsuccessful.
