RootMaker Propagation Trays
Best durable air pruning system for serious seedling propagation.
These trays fundamentally change how you start plants by forcing roots to branch rather than circle, creating a dense, fibrous network that guarantees a stronger start. While they require a bit more attention to moisture management than standard plastic cells, the payoff is significantly faster growth and near-perfect transplant success.
