50 Count - Jiffy 7 Peat Pellets - Seed Starter Soil Plugs - 36 mm - Start Seedlings Indoors - Easy to Transplant to Garden

I like that it fit my budget and I got 50. The only thing is. They are small, but they will make do and I think I probably would continue using them.

I love the convenience of the soil plugs. They are so easy to use, and they really work. I used them this past summer to start my sunflower garden. I'll be ordering them again!

these work very well

The product helps with germination rates.It comes dried up and compressed. It does not come with instructions but you just need to add water and let it absorb it for a few minutes until they expand about three/four times their size. There is already a hole on top of the puck to place the seeds.You can remove the fabric like material whenever you are ready to transplant.

I saw many good reviews on this product and thought it might be a good tool for sprouting. Unfortunately, it’s not working. None of my seed sprouted from this pallet but they sprouted from potting soil.

I absolutely loved the concept of these jiffy Pot Discs. Since there were no instructions, I put an inch of potting soil into a Sam’s Club clear croissant clam shell container, approx. 18” X 12”, watered down the potting mix really well until it was not water resistant anymore. I placed the Jiffy Discs in lines like tin soldiers. I placed a hardy ageratum flower seed in the little indention atop each disc. Here I should have sprinkled a little bit of“Miracle Gro Seed Starting Potting Soil Mix” like 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon atop the seed in the indention. The “seedling starting mix” is run through a finer screen so this soil has no odd-sized larger pieces to weigh down the seed from sprouting. Whereupon I would snap the top shut, checked it every day, and opened it as necessary to decrease heat and excess condensation as needed and waited for the Georgia heat to build up in the little “greenhouse” I had repurposed. Oh no! Torrential downpour on my back porch! Amazingly, the big Croissant clamshell did NOT allow a single drop of that deluge in to swamp my project. Who knew that makeshift container would be watertight? After a couple days or so, the discs worked their magic and swelled to 2” vertically, while maintaining the same Disc width. I have since covered each hardy ageratum seed as should have been done from the start. We’re checking daily heat levels and moisture in case the heat build up of condensation does not provide the necessary amount of water and awaiting germination of the seeds.Maybe this narrative will serve as a sort of primer as to pitfalls on the road to successful seed germination with the Jiffy Pot Discs.

I was skeptical that these would work but as a new gardener and a cheap one, I decided to give them a try. The little hockey puck will expand in about an hour to fill a small juice glass. Then just drop a seed or three into the little depression on the top and wait. Bottom watering works best as the material wicks it up very nicely to keep the seeds moist. I grew peppers and tomato seedlings using these things. The only issue is that you have to realize that the tender little root shoots may not penetrate the sock that holds the media shape. So, after a couple of weeks, or less, when the plant is gaining altitude, either remove the sock, cut it or transplant early. I used a garden scissors to cut down each side of the sock. That worked fine. I have more seeds coming today for a late summer tomato crop as our growing season here in NE FL is pretty long. I'll be using these again and apply what I learned. I will use a small clear plastic juice glass the same size as the media but slice the sock before I add the seed. Of course the glass will need a hole in the bottom to wick up the water. I use an old cookie sheet for water.

Didn't know this was possible until it happened to me. I had 4 jiffy pots left from a purchase last year at a local store, needed several dozen more so ordered from Amazon since the local store closed at 6, and all my seeds were 1cm+ in root length. Every single one of my germinated seeds in my 4 original were fine and sprouted into seedlings. The several dozen, every single one, from this new Amazon order Didn't sprout. I dig in to see what the issue was and couldn't find the roots! Only tiny little worm things that clearly were in each of the NEW jiffy pots I just bought! Whole crop ruined and almost $50 in seeds wasted! I read up and see that their eggs can be laid and activate with the water. So I'm NOT buying these again and hope Amazon reimburses me promptly!
