Know before you buy
No, the netting is designed to be left on. It holds the peat together during the initial growth phase and will naturally break down in the soil after transplanting, allowing roots to grow through freely.
Simply place the pellets in a tray and add warm water. They will expand significantly in height as they absorb moisture, creating a self-contained growing medium ready for your seeds or cuttings.
Jiffy 7 pellets are excellent for most standard seeds and cuttings due to their balanced pH and high water retention. However, they are specifically formulated for germination and early root development, so you will need to transplant them into larger containers or the ground once the seedlings outgrow the pellet.
Because the roots remain undisturbed within the pellet, you avoid the root damage that typically occurs when pulling seedlings out of traditional plastic cells. You simply bury the entire pellet, allowing the plant to continue growing without interruption.
These pellets have a pH of 5.8, which is an ideal range for the majority of vegetable and flower seeds. This slightly acidic environment promotes healthy nutrient uptake during the germination stage.
Yes, the fine texture and high moisture retention of the peat make these an effective medium for rooting cuttings. The netting provides enough stability to keep the cutting upright while the roots establish.
