Socially responsible production

At Sybotanica we not only want to make plants happy, but people happy as well. In our production team we exclusively hire people with a distance from the workforce, and help them rehabilitate to the normal working life.


Take Peter for example:

Peter has been with Sybotanica since the 1st hour, and has now been promoted to head of production & a permanent contract! Where he was the first employee, he now manages a team of 3 production workers.

What makes this achievement even more impressive is that Peter achieved all this with only 10% visibility! 🕶️ With a few minor adjustments to his working environment, Peter is able to perform his job 100%.

Peter has now been through two moves and knows all the ins & outs of Sybotanica. He can even feel by the potting soil which variety it is. That's quite a challenge with 16 different mixes!

We are confident that Peter will keep production running smoothly in the coming years too! 💪

FAQ

What makes sand "horticultural" or suited for plants?
Horticultural sand is different from regular garden sand in a few ways. It is lime-free, so it won't change the soil's pH as most other sands do.
Usually, sand for plants has both large and small particles. Its sharp edges prevent it from clumping like traditional sand. This improves your soil's drainage.

And lastly, horticultural sand makes soil heavier. This helps top-heavy plants with small roots, like cacti.

Adding Horticultural sand to your soil mix:

  • What:

    Clean, coarse horticultural sand that improves soil structure.

  • How much:

    Add 5-15% to your SYBASoil mix

  • For which plants:

    Thin-rooted plants & plants that like a bit drier soil

Why THIS Horticultural sand compared to others?

Perfect grain size to prevent compaction. Clean and free of contaminents like salts, chemicals.

Origin of our Horticultural sand

Our sand comes from the city right next to our warehouse in the Netherlands! There, the sand is removed for landscaping & building purposes.

Our sand contains low amounts of clay or silt. High amounts can form a dense, compacted layer of soil, inhibiting root growth.
