How does this product work? 

These propagation trays provide an optimal environment for plants to root and develop. The manufacturers use organic coir and peat and pre-fertilise them with essential micronutrients for maximum growth potential. Their unique octagonal design maximises space usage in your propagator, and their open structure allows for the correct balance of water and air for faster and more vigorous rooting. With a predetermined pH, EC value, and water buffering properties, these trays are straightforward to use to achieve fantastic results.

How do I use this product?

To use Propagation Plugs, cut the tray to fit the bottom of your propagator and drop in your pre-soaked plugs. Select healthy shoots with thick stems to take cuttings and make the last cut with a sterile scalpel. 

Using your preferred rooting gel, take your cutting and dip it into the gel and then one of the rooting plugs. Once you’ve taken all your cuttings, put the lid on your propagator and move it to a mild environment under your propagation light. Keep the rooting plugs moist and mist your cuttings 2-3 times daily. 

After a few days, gradually open the ventilation slots on the propagator lid to reduce humidity. When your cuttings have rooted through the plugs, transplant them into a large Rockwool cube, soil, or hydroponics system to grow.

You can also use propagation plugs for germination. Drop a seed into the hole in a pre-soaked plug and pinch the sides closed. When the taproot appears, transplant the plug and seedling into your chosen growing medium.

You will need a few essential pieces of equipment to transplant and develop seeds and cuttings in hydroponic gardening.

1. Propagator – A propagator is an enclosed structure that creates the optimal environment for germinating seeds and developing cuttings. Propagators provide ideal temperature, humidity, and lighting conditions to accelerate plant growth and development.
2. Rooting Gel – A rooting gel or hormone is a natural or synthetic compound that stimulates root development in cuttings. Rooting gels come in various strengths and are available in different forms, including liquid and powder.
3. Scalpel or Pruning Shears – A sharp scalpel or pruning shears are necessary to take the parent plant’s cuttings. These tools must be sterile before use to prevent the spread of disease.
4. Rockwool Cubes – Once rooted in the propagation plugs, you can transfer the cuttings to Rockwool cubes, which provide an excellent environment for root development. Rockwool cubes are pH neutral and provide an optimal balance of air and water to support healthy plant growth.
5. Grow Light – A grow light is necessary to supply the appropriate amount and quality of light for optimal plant growth. LED lights are popular for hydroponic gardening because they are energy-efficient and offer a broad spectrum.
6. Nutrient Solution – A nutrient solution is essential for hydroponic gardening. Plants rely on a balanced supply of nutrients to thrive, so ensuring the nutrient solution mixes correctly and at the appropriate pH level is crucial.

You can successfully transplant and develop seeds and cuttings in a hydroponic garden using this essential equipment.
