Jiffy Peat Pellet

No, you should leave the netting intact. It is designed to hold the peat together while allowing roots to grow through it easily once planted in the ground or a larger container.

Place the pellet in a tray and add warm water. It will expand vertically and reach its full size within a few minutes; you will see it stop growing and feel firm to the touch.

They work well for most vegetable, herb, and flower seeds. However, for very large seeds or plants that require specific soil pH levels, you may want to research the specific needs of your plant variety first.

While these are primarily designed for soil-based propagation, they can be used in some hydroponic setups if you are careful. Ensure your system provides adequate drainage, as the peat can hold a significant amount of moisture.

The pellets are made of Canadian sphagnum peat, which provides a clean, neutral medium for germination. They do not contain added fertilizer, so you should introduce a diluted liquid seedling fertilizer once your plants develop their first set of true leaves.
