The tray offers a flat, stable surface for potting soil, peat pellets or seedling modules and supports even germination and root development. Its standard size is compatible with common greenhouse benches, storage racks and propagation accessories, making it suitable for hobby gardeners and small-scale greenhouse use.

Advantages

Its standard dimensions suit industry accessories and make handling, stacking and storage straightforward. The smooth interior surface simplifies cleaning after use, while shallow side walls make transplanting seedlings easier and reduce root disturbance.

• Starting vegetable, herb and flower seedlings
• Propagating cuttings and root development testing
• Using with peat pellets, soil blocks or small pots

Key specifications

• Material: durable plastic construction
• Shape: rectangular propagation tray with flat base
• Surface: smooth interior for easy cleaning
• Wall height: shallow side walls for easy access to seedlings

How to use

Place the tray on a level surface and fill with potting mix, soil blocks or peat pellets according to the seed or cutting requirements. Sow seeds at the recommended depth or position cuttings with firm contact to the substrate. Maintain consistent moisture by watering from below or misting the surface to avoid displacing seeds. Once seedlings develop a strong root system, lift individual plants carefully from the tray and transplant them into larger containers or the garden.

Usage recommendations

Clean the tray after each growing cycle using warm water and mild detergent to prevent disease transfer. Store trays nested and out of direct sunlight to prolong plastic life. For best results, combine with a clear propagation dome or bottom heat source according to seed requirements.
