I often hear that Rockwool growing media should only be used for annual crop growing since it has a tendency to accumulate fertilizer salts which may kill plants if they are grown in it for longer periods of time. Truth or myth?
I personally have grown tropicals in Rockwool for about 2 Years and have not seen this problem but I'm worried that they may die suddenly if I don't re-pot them into another medium.
