About us
Our Story
VULCAPLANT develops, produces, and distributes volcanic mineral mixes and volcanic aggregates for vegetation in general — specifically for nursery, ornamental, viticultural, fruit-growing, horticultural, and extreme vegetation (green roofs, hanging gardens, sound-absorbing barriers). Our volcanic mineral mixes represent a technological innovation in nursery, ornamental, horticultural, and floricultural fields — effectively creating a real revolution in these production sectors.
Our concept of substrate is based on the use of mineral elements, of variable granulometries, throughout the mix. This delivers a series of countless advantages for the present and future life of our plants and, in particular, for what is fundamental to a plant’s life: the roots. These mineral mixes, in fact, have the advantage of promoting rhizogenesis—that is, the entire life process of the root system of a plant—since volcanic minerals, in particular lapilli (vulcanite), are elements with a vascular conformation (visually similar to a sponge), which leads to greater water retention while also allowing greater drainage of excess irrigation water, preventing problems of water stagnation.
1997
The perennial experience
of mineral substrates begins. The integration of different minerals gives rise to our perennial substrate for every green need.
2000
The experience expands
in different fields of use. From ornamental greenery, we progress to more high-performance substrates for hanging greenery. Discussions begins about future regulations.
2016
Substrate abroad
With the creation of a new structure in Algiers, we start to introduce the unique characteristics of our substrate even in severe climate zones…
2022
International Expansion
With the establishment of new partnerships in Algeria in 2019 and in Jordan in 2022, Vulcaplant’s technologies are expanding into additional regions.
