Product Characteristics – Sideau®

Natural and eco-friendly

• Sideau® is completely natural, made from basalt and an organic binder derived from a side-stream of sugar beet or sugar cane. No petrochemicals (microplastics) are used in the production process.

Superior water absorption

• Absorbs water within seconds without forming air bubbles. Your flowers stay perfectly hydrated.
• Continues to absorb water even after repeated use, allowing you to top up if your arrangement starts to dry out.

Versatile for all flowers

• Suitable for fresh, dried, or silk flowers – one product for all your arrangements.

Reusable and waste-free

• The spongy structure allows Sideau® to be reused. Wrap in chicken wire or reshape as needed.
• Any leftover pieces can be torn into smaller parts and used as a substitute for potting soil in pots, vases, or wooden crates. Anything with roots will grow on it.

Easy to use

• Easy to cut with a bread knife or similar tool.

Safe and neutral

• Neutral pH of 7.3 and a small nutrient supply (EC 0.8).
• Fully safe for humans and the environment.

Eco-conscious disposal

• Can be disposed of in small pieces in the green container (depending on local legislation) or added to your compost heap.
• Once degraded, only basalt meal (sand) remains, which is completely natural and harmless to nature.
• Basalt is rich in minerals and is used in agriculture and horticulture to improve heavy clay soils.
