If its a large plant, the rockwool will just get grown through and around and it would be a very small thing right in the middle of your tree or tomato. For small plants, that could be the entire rooting system. I got an orchid that had been started in rockwool cubes and it was a mess to get out.
If Alisa is planting from rockwool to soil, it seems silly to start with rockwool. As I stated way back there somewhere, it is used in soilless systems where the introduction of soil would be a problem.
I am using rockwool cubes right now to root ghost pepper cuttings but its my last ditch attempt. As the peppers will be permanently in pots or in a hydrosystem, I am not worrying about the little annoying cubes.
I am also trying to get desert peach seeds to sprout in rockwool - another last ditch effort.
I certainly apologize to Alisa if I made her upset. I know I get impatient at times but I did apologize for that. The fun thing about this forum is that we all get involved and add all our cents (sense). Sometimes we do over-run the original poster with our enthusiam but a question was asked. Of course, we would give our opinion even if a question was not asked.
So Alisa, please come back and join the dialog. We'd like to get to know you.
