Detailed explanation-1: -Seedlings or nursery plants are grown as a separate unit in modular plugtrays/portrays with separate cells/conical cavities containing growing media and transplanted with intact root soil.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mini-plugs are small plants grown from seed. Our mini-plugs have a rootball of approximately 1.5cm compared to the 3cm rootball of our jumbo plugs. Some mini-plugs are extremely tiny plugs produced only for mail order, but our mini-plugs are the same plugs as used by professional nurseries.
Detailed explanation-3: -What is a plug tray? Plug trays are 128 of all the same plant. Each plant is in its own mini pot (or cell) that is part of the larger tray. This type of propagation allows for easy removal of individual plants with no trauma to the root zone. The result is a healthier plant that grows more quickly.
