Seedling Tray Hydroponic 72 Hole

This is a durable, professional-grade, black plastic seedling tray specifically designed for propagating seeds and starting plant plugs. With $72$ individual, relatively deep cells, it is an excellent choice for plants that require more soil volume or a longer growth period before transplanting, such as certain vegetables, flowers, or woody cuttings.

Key Features:

• Cell Configuration: Features $72$ separate, large-volume cells arranged in a grid pattern. The larger size of the cells compared to higher-count trays provides more space for root development and soil medium.

• Material: Made from robust, black plastic (typically polystyrene or similar material) which helps with heat absorption for root zone warming and ensures the tray's longevity for multiple growing seasons.

• Optimal Drainage: Each cell includes a well-defined drainage hole at the bottom (as highlighted in the magnified view). This critical feature ensures proper water runoff, prevents root rot, and promotes a healthy, air-pruned root structure.

• Reinforced Structure: The tray often features ribbing or ridges (visible on the bottom/sides) for added strength, making it easier to lift and move when filled with soil and water.

• Tapered Cell Design: The walls of the cells are typically tapered to facilitate the easy removal of the root ball or plant plug with minimal disturbance to the seedling during transplanting.

Ideal For: Perfect for starting medium to large seedlings, including various herbs, flowers, and vegetables like tomatoes, peppers, melons, squashes, cucumbers, and ornamental plants that benefit from an extended stay in the plug stage.

Dimensions: (Standard industry sizing is generally a full-size flat, but cell depth and width will be greater than those in a 128-hole tray. Please refer to the manufacturer's specifications for exact measurements.)

Benefits:

• Increased Soil Volume: The larger cells allow plants to develop a stronger, more substantial root system before being transplanted.

• Easy Handling: The rigid design simplifies transport and stacking.

• Uniform Plugs: Creates consistent, high-quality plant plugs ready for mechanical or manual transplanting.

• Water Management: Excellent drainage and aeration for superior moisture control.
