Know before you buy
Yes, the Root Riot cubes are designed to be versatile and work effectively for both germinating seeds and rooting plant cuttings.
The spongy texture is specifically engineered to maintain an ideal air-to-water ratio. This balance prevents the medium from becoming waterlogged while ensuring roots have enough oxygen to develop rapidly.
This tray comes with 50 individual cells, providing enough space to start 50 seeds or cuttings at once.
The cubes are designed to provide an optimal environment for early growth on their own. While they are ready to use, you can introduce a light rooting hormone or a diluted nutrient solution if your specific plant variety requires it.
Each tray measures 21.0 inches in length, 10.7 inches in width, and 2.6 inches in height, making it a standard size that fits easily into most propagation domes or standard gardening setups.
