28L Shallow Propagation Tray
Maximum Surface Area for Strong, Healthy Seedling Establishment.
The 28L Shallow Propagation Tray is a professional-grade module designed for gardeners who prioritise substantial cell volume and surface area. Featuring 49mm square cells, this tray is ideal for nurturing more robust seedlings that require a bit more room to breathe before transplanting. It is perfectly suited for a wide variety of plants, including larger vegetable starts, perennials, bedding plants, and nursery stock.
Advanced Root Health and Air Pruning
To ensure every plant has a professional-quality start, each of the 28 cells is engineered with integrated anti-spiral root ribs. These vertical ridges guide root growth directly downwards, eliminating the risk of circling and ensuring the plant does not become pot-bound. When utilised in conjunction with a large base tray, the design promotes effective air pruning, resulting in a dense, fibrous root ball that establishes with ease once moved to the garden.
Unmatched Sustainability and Durability
Injection-moulded from premium, UV-stabilised recyclable polypropylene, the 28L is built for heavy-duty, long-term use. While designed to provide over 10 years of trouble-free service, many units produced over 15 years ago are still in active use today. This exceptional longevity makes it a superior, eco-friendly alternative to flimsy, single-use propagation trays that often end up in landfill.
Key Features and Benefits
Generous Cell Size: The cells provide a 115cm³ volume, offering ample space for healthy foliage and root expansion.
Efficient Extraction: Large 22mm drainage holes in every cell prevent waterlogging and allow for the effortless removal of the plant plug.
Rigid and Ergonomic: The tray is dimensionally stable and sturdy, yet remains balanced and easy to handle with one hand.
Fully Recyclable: At the end of its extensive service life, the tray can be recycled with hard plastics at most local waste centres.
