Plantulas San Alejo Counts on Berger BM2 to Deliver Quality Growers Trust
For nearly 30 years, Plantulas San Alejo has built its reputation on producing strong, reliable vegetable and ornamental transplants for growers across Mexico. What started as a very small nursery with just one employee has grown into a 1.5-hectare operation with a team of 50 people. According to owners Antonio Arizmendi and Elias Ayala Morales, that growth has been supported by one consistent decision: choosing Berger BM2 Propagation HP as their substrate of choice.
“BM2 is the only substrate we use. We do not mix it with anything else because it already gives us exactly what we need.”
Vegetable production remains the heart of the business, with tomato transplants accounting for roughly 70% of their output, while flowers and ornamental crops continue to expand. Across every tray that leaves the nursery, the objective is the same uniform plants, strong roots, and dependable quality that keeps customers coming back.
“For us, the ideal substrate has to be easy to handle, offer good drainage, and promote excellent rooting. BM2 gives us that consistency in every crop we grow.”
That consistency has made day-to-day production easier to manage. Plantulas San Alejo has experienced reliable germination, fewer concerns with irrigation, and healthy crop development from start to finish.
“Since we started using BM2, we have had no problems with germination, diseases, or watering. It is a super high-quality substrate.”
For Antonio and Elias, substrate quality is directly connected to customer satisfaction.
“When customers leave happy with their plants, they return — and they recommend us to more growers. That is why quality matters so much.”
After decades of growth, their confidence in Berger remains unchanged.
“We would not change to another brand. Berger BM2 gives us the best quality.”
