• Easy to use: Simply add water to the pellets, plant your seeds, and watch them grow!
• Minimises transplant shock: Plant the entire pellet with the seedling, ensuring that the roots are not disturbed and the plant can continue to grow.
• Compressed peat-based medium: The pellets expand with water and create a nutrient-rich environment for healthy seed development.
• Reduced mould and pests: The enclosed greenhouse environment helps to maintain cleanliness and decrease the risk of fungal growth and insect infestations.

How to Use

1. Remove the greenhouse lid and place the tray on a flat surface.
2. Pour warm water into the tray, covering the peat pellets. The pellets will begin to absorb the water and expand.
3. Continue to add water until the pellets have expanded completely, creating a soft growing medium.
4. Plant your seeds in each pellet, following the recommended planting depth for each seed variety.
5. Replace the cover on the greenhouse, creating a warm, enclosed environment for seed germination.
6. Monitor the moisture levels and temperature in the greenhouse, ensuring proper conditions for seed growth.
7. When your seedlings have grown and are ready for transplantation, plant the entire pellet with the seedling in the desired location.

FAQs

How do Jiffy Pellets work as a growing medium for seeds?

Jiffy Peat Pellets are made from compressed peat, wood pulp, and coir pitch, which expand with water, creating an ideal growing medium for seeds. They act as both the pot and the soil, minimizing transfer shock when transplanting seedlings as their roots are not disturbed.

How do I prepare the Jiffy Pellets for planting seeds?

To prepare the Jiffy Peat Pellets, remove the greenhouse lid and add warm water into the tray until the pellets are covered. Allow the pellets to absorb the water and expand. Keep adding water until the pellets have expanded completely. Once they are fully expanded, you can plant your seeds into each pellet.

When should I transplant my seedlings grown in Jiffy Peat Pellets?

You should transplant your seedlings when they have grown big enough to handle. Transfer the pellet and seedling together to prevent transfer shock and minimise disturbance to the plant's roots.

Can I plant Jiffy Pellets directly into the ground after the seedlings have grown?

Yes, you can plant the pellet along with the seedling directly into the ground. The pellet will biodegrade over time, and because the roots are not disturbed, the seedlings are less prone to transplant shock.

How do I maintain my seedlings while growing in Jiffy Pellets?

Keep the greenhouse covered until the seeds germinate. Make sure the pellets remain moist but not overly wet, and provide the seedlings with adequate light and warmth. Monitor their growth and transplant them when they reach a suitable size.

How many seeds can I plant in each pellet?

It is recommended to plant one or two seeds in each Jiffy Peat Pellet to ensure sufficient space and resources for healthy seedling development.

Can I reuse Jiffy Peat Pellets?

Jiffy Peat Pellets are designed for single use and should be planted along with the seedling. Reusing the pellets is not recommended, as they can lose their structure and nutrients over time, which can affect the development of new seedlings.
