How to use

To prepare for germination or cloning, briefly soak each plug in a starter solution adjusted to pH 5.5 for about 10 seconds. Avoid squeezing the plug to prevent damage.

Transplanting and moisture management

• Transplant when roots reach about 0.5–1 inch; you can move the plug directly into a larger rockwool hole, or into a 3"–4" block for easier moisture control.
• In smaller blocks, monitor moisture and water 15 minutes before the block becomes completely dry to maintain even moisture.
• If using larger blocks, keep the upper portion moist with light misting or careful watering.

Practical notes

• Handling tips: wear gloves and safety glasses to keep the plugs clean and intact.
• Avoid tearing the plug; cut if you need to modify the shape.
