Description
Get a bag of 50 Root-It Fleximix Plugs, a type of rooting-plug made from natural and biodegradable ingredients that hold the perfect air to water ratio. These plugs are great for rooting cuttings and starting off seeds, and come in a re-sealable bag to hold in moisture.
Root-It plugs are made from natural substances bound together with polymers made from plant extracts, resulting in a biodegradable "sponge" that holds a lot of water without becoming waterlogged. These plugs are an effective alternative to jiffy 7 soil-plugs and rockwool plugs.
To use Root-It plugs, place them in the bottom tray of a propagator and take healthy cuttings with thick stems. Dip the cut end in rooting gel and then insert it into a Root-It plug. Keep the rooting plugs moist and mist the cuttings 2-3 times a day in a mild environment with low-medium light levels. Once the cuttings have rooted, they can be transplanted into a grow-medium of your choice.
Root-It plugs can also be used to germinate seeds. Simply drop a seed into a moist plug and transplant it as soon as the tap-root appears.
