Plastic Seedling Propagation Tray: Nursery Plug Tray for Seeds, Seedlings and Cuttings

This rectangular plastic propagation tray is a practical way to start seeds, raise seedlings and strike cuttings. It's divided into individual cells (plugs), so each seedling gets its own pocket of mix to grow in, with its own roots kept separate. That makes it easy to raise a lot of plants in a small space and to transplant them later with minimal root disturbance, which helps them establish faster.

The tray is made from lightweight, reusable plastic with a cell in each grid and drainage at the base, so excess water drains away and roots stay healthy. It suits vegetable and flower seedlings, wheatgrass and micro-sprouts, succulent propagation and general nursery work, and it's a favourite for anyone raising plants from seed at home or on a small scale.

It comes in a range of cell counts and thicknesses to suit different jobs, from larger 50-cell trays for bigger seedlings through to 128 and 200-cell trays for raising many small plants at once.

Key Features & Benefits

• Rectangular plastic propagation tray with individual growing cells

• Keeps each seedling's roots separate for easy, low-shock transplanting

• Drainage holes in each cell to prevent waterlogging

• Lightweight, washable and reusable season to season

• Suits seeds, seedlings, cuttings, wheatgrass, micro-sprouts and succulents

• Fits standard nursery setups and can be paired with a solid base tray

• Available in several cell counts and thicknesses

Sizes and Options

• Cell counts: 50, 128 and 200 cells

• Thickness: standard, or thickened (heavier duty) for extra durability and reuse

• Colour: black

• Choose fewer, larger cells (such as 50) for bigger seedlings, or more, smaller cells (such as 128 or 200) for raising many small plants at once

How to Use

• Fill each cell with a good-quality seed-raising or propagation mix

• Sow one or two seeds per cell, or insert a cutting, then firm gently and water in

• Stand the tray somewhere warm and bright, and keep the mix moist but not waterlogged

• Water from below by sitting the tray in a shallow base of water, or mist gently from above

• Once seedlings are large enough, pop each plug out and transplant it into a pot or the garden

Getting the Best From It

• Sit the cell tray inside a solid base tray to catch drainage and to allow bottom watering

• Label rows if you're sowing different varieties in the one tray

• Choose the thickened version if you plan to reuse trays many times, as they hold up better

• Wash and dry trays between uses to reduce the risk of damping-off and disease

• Harden seedlings off gradually before planting them out

FAQs

What is this tray used for?
It's for starting seeds and raising seedlings and cuttings in individual cells, as well as growing wheatgrass and micro-sprouts and propagating succulents. Each cell keeps roots separate for easy transplanting.

What cell sizes are available?
It comes in 50, 128 and 200-cell options, in standard or thickened (heavier-duty) versions. Fewer, larger cells suit bigger seedlings, while more cells suit raising many small plants.

Does it have drainage?
Yes. Each cell has drainage at the base so excess water drains away, which helps prevent waterlogging and root problems.

Can I reuse it?
Yes. It's made from washable, reusable plastic. The thickened versions are more durable if you plan to reuse them many times.

How do I water seedlings in it?
You can mist gently from above, or sit the tray in a shallow base of water to let it soak up from below, which is gentle on young roots.
