Jiffy 7C Peat Free Pellets – Usage Instructions
Place the dry pellets in a planting tray or pot.
Soak them in lukewarm water until fully expanded (usually about five minutes).
After soaking, excess water should be drained off.
Seeds or cuttings can then be placed into the expanded pellets for germination or rooting.
Jiffy 7C Peat Free Pellets – Recommended Uses
Best suited for larger seeds such as squash, pumpkins, or sunflowers.
This size allows for significant root development before transplanting into larger pots or directly into the garden. It is also advantageous for plants that require a longer growing period before they can be moved outdoors.
