- Growing Medium: The kits feature dried and compressed coconut coir pellets held in a fine, biodegradable mesh netting. These pellets are made from an organic, renewable material that offers good aeration and moisture retention, which can help prevent mold growth compared to some peat-based options.
- Transplant-Ready: A major benefit of the coir pellets is that you can plant the entire puck (with the seedling) directly into the ground or a larger pot, as the mesh and coir are biodegradable. This minimizes root disturbance.
- Kit Components: The standard kits typically include:
- A reusable plastic tray.
- A 36-cell insert sheet.
- A clear humidity dome to trap moisture and heat, aiding germination.
