PLUGLIFE PEATMIX 80/20 104 CELLS

Description

PlugLife Peatmix 80/20 104 Cells is a professional-grade propagation tray pre-filled with a precisely blended 80% peat and 20% perlite growing medium, formed into 104 individual cells ready for direct seed sowing or cutting insertion. PlugLife’s peatmix formula delivers the water retention, air-filled porosity, and gentle nutrition that seeds and cuttings need in the critical early stages of development — without any preparation, mixing, or pre-treatment required from the grower. Open the tray, sow your seeds or take your cuttings, and propagation begins immediately.

Why an 80/20 Peat-Perlite Blend Works for Propagation

The 80/20 ratio of peat to perlite is a well-established optimum for propagation work. Peat provides the fine, moisture-retentive structure that holds seeds in position, maintains contact with germinating seed coats, and provides the gentle capillary moisture supply that keeps the immediate seed environment consistently moist without saturation. Perlite opens the mix structure, preventing compaction and maintaining the oxygen levels in the root zone that are critical for root initiation in cuttings and for the respiration of germinating seeds. The 20% perlite fraction also improves drainage, reducing the risk of damping off — the fungal collapse of seedling stems at the growing medium level that is caused by overwatering and poor aeration in dense propagation media. We have been supplying propagation media including peat-based systems at The Horticulture Company since 2017. PlugLife represents a convenient, quality option for growers who want the reliability of pre-filled, pre-prepared propagation cells.

104-Cell Format and Practical Use

The 104-cell format is a commercially standard tray size that fits under most propagation lighting systems and within standard propagator domes. Each individual cell holds sufficient volume for seed germination and early root development before transplanting — typically from the point when roots become visible at the base of the cell. Transplant by removing the entire cell plug and inserting into the destination growing medium with minimal root disturbance. The peat-perlite composition integrates well with all major growing media types including soil, coco, and expanded clay systems.
