Know before you buy
Standard trays often lead to circling roots, which can stunt growth. The RootMaker design encourages horizontal branching, creating a fibrous root system that allows for better nutrient and water uptake once the plant is transplanted.
The mesh flat provides essential drainage and airflow at the base of the cells. This prevents water from pooling at the bottom, which helps avoid root rot and encourages the roots to air-prune as they reach the bottom of the tray.
Yes, the durable plastic construction is designed for both environments. Whether you are starting seeds under lights indoors or propagating cuttings in a greenhouse, the tray maintains its structural integrity.
With a cell volume of 6 cubic inches, these trays are ideal for starting seeds or small cuttings. They are designed to hold the plant until it develops a strong enough root system to be moved into a larger container or directly into the ground.
Yes, the trays are made from durable plastic intended for repeated use. To ensure longevity, wash them with a mild disinfectant between uses to prevent the spread of soil-borne pathogens.
