Budget 10-Cell Seedling Tray
Versatile, Deep-Cell Propagation for Growing in Batches.
The Budget 10-Cell Seedling Tray is an ideal choice for gardeners who require a high-quality, mid-sized propagation solution. With a 2.5-litre total capacity, this tray offers a perfect balance between bulk sowing and manageable batch sizes. Its deep-cell architecture is specifically designed to support the development of vigorous, healthy root systems, making it a dependable foundation for a wide variety of vegetables and ornamentals.
Integrated Modular Design
This tray has been engineered to integrate seamlessly into the broader budget nursery range. For those looking to maximise their growing space:
Full-Size Trays: Two of these 10-cell units fit side-by-side into the budget perforated and non-perforated bottom trays.
Bottom-Watering Compatible: When used with a solid bottom tray, this setup allows for consistent moisture delivery from the base, which promotes deeper root growth and prevents the soil surface from crusting.
Key Features and Benefits
Superior Root Depth: Each cell provides an 80mm depth, allowing seedlings to develop substantial root mass before they need to be moved. This extra depth is particularly beneficial for heavy-feeding plants or those with longer taproots.
Tapered for Gentle Extraction: The cells feature a deliberate taper—from 63mm at the top to 50mm at the base—allowing the gardener to easily slide seedlings out for transplanting with minimal stress to the plant.
Durable and Safe Construction: Manufactured from rigid, BPA-free black plastic, these trays are safe for edible crops and robust enough to be cleaned and reused for several seasons.
Sustainable Choice: Made from polypropylene (PP or “5”), the trays are easily recyclable, offering an eco-friendly option for the modern potting shed.
Precision and Practicality
The 10-cell configuration allows for greater flexibility than larger trays, making it easier to separate different varieties or planting dates. It is a reliable, professional-standard tool for anyone looking to improve their germination success and seedling health.
