Budget 20-Cell Seedling Tray
A Durable, High-Capacity Solution for Bulk Propagation.
The Budget 20-Cell Seedling Tray is a robust and practical choice for gardeners looking to raise large quantities of plants simultaneously. With a substantial 5-litre total capacity, this tray provides ample room for each individual plant to develop a strong root system. Its deep-cell design makes it particularly effective for varieties that benefit from extra root space before being transplanted into the garden or larger containers.
System Integration and Efficiency
Designed to be part of a modular growing system, this 20-cell unit is perfectly dimensioned to fit inside the budget perforated and non-perforated bottom trays. When paired with a solid bottom tray, it facilitates efficient bottom-watering, ensuring that moisture reaches the roots directly while preventing soil compaction and keeping the young stems dry.
Key Features and Benefits
Deep-Cell Design: Each cell features an 80mm depth, providing significantly more vertical space than standard punnets. This encourages the growth of deep, healthy taproots and reduces the risk of plants becoming root-bound early on.
Tapered for Easy Transplanting: The cells taper from 63mm at the rim to 50mm at the base, a feature specifically engineered to allow for the easy removal of seedlings with minimal root disturbance.
Safe and Sustainable: Constructed from rigid, BPA-free black plastic, the tray is safe for all food crops. It is made from polypropylene (PP or “5”), making it both hard-wearing for multi-season use and easily recyclable.
Streamlined Nursery Management: Using a single 20-cell tray instead of individual pots makes it much simpler to move, water, and label large batches of seedlings.
The Professional Advantage
This tray is a reliable workhorse for the potting shed, offering the structural integrity needed to support 5 litres of growing medium. It is the ideal foundation for anyone serious about high-success propagation and efficient garden management.
