This germination kit brings together individual trays, each with its own watertight base and ventilated lid, along with all the transplanting tools: scissors, tweezers, a brush, a dibber, a fork, a trowel, and gloves. Watering is done from below: water poured into the base travels up through the grow medium by capillary action.

The summary

  • What you receive: 6 or 10 trays, their watertight bases and ventilated lids.
  • The cell: 3.7 by 3.7 centimetres and 5.5 deep, 12 per tray.
  • Care: keep covered until germination, 3 to 15 days depending on the species, then increase ventilation gradually.
  • Watering: from below — water reaches the grow medium by capillary action from the watertight base.
  • Tools included: scissors, tweezers, a brush, a dibber, a fork, a trowel, gloves and 20 labels.
  • How to choose: the integrated lighting is worth having when the room lacks natural light.

6 or 10 independent trays, 72 or 120 cells, with transplanting tools

A germination tray keeps the seed warm and moist until it germinates. This set brings together 6 or 10, allowing you to run several sowings at different dates, as each tray has its own 12 cells, a watertight base and a vented lid, and is managed independently of the others.

🌱 Multiple trays, multiple sowing dates

With one large tray, all the cells are sown on the same day, ventilated on the same day and pricked out on the same day, whereas basil comes up within a few days while an aubergine takes twice as long. You end up uncovering seeds that haven't yet germinated, or keeping leggy seedlings under a lid. With units measuring 19 by 14.5 cm, each follows its own schedule, so you open the vent on the one that has germinated, leave the others closed, and resow in the one that has emptied.

One variety per tray

Each one germinates at its own pace, without neighbouring seedlings being exposed too early or kept covered too long.

One lid per tray

Ventilation opens where the shoots have emerged, and remains closed everywhere else.

Labels included

After 3 weeks, two brassica seedlings look very similar, and the label tells you the variety.

💧 A base that acts as a reservoir

The watertight base on which each tray rests serves as both a catch tray and a water inlet. You pour a little water into the base, set the tray back on top, and capillary action draws the moisture up into the grow medium without a drop touching the leaves or the stem base. A surface that stays wet encourages damping off in seedlings, a collar disease that can wipe out an entire batch within a few days. After half an hour, empty whatever is left in the base, so that the plug stays moist without ever sitting in water.

Filling cells without compost

A cell 5.5 cm deep will take compost, but if your plants are then going into a gutter or a net pot, an inert support transplants much better. The germination sponge pods sit in the cell and are transferred whole, with no soil spreading through the water circuit. And when the room stays cool in late winter, a heat mat slipped under the trays gains several days on the emergence of summer species.

Aeration that opens in stages

The lid stays in place until emergence, which takes 3 to 15 days depending on the species. After that, the vents are opened gradually rather than all at once, because seedlings used to saturated air flop over within a few hours when suddenly exposed. Open the vents halfway for 2 or 3 days, then remove the lid. When washing, avoid harsh detergents, whose residues build up at the bottom of the cells and hinder the following seedlings.

🪴 From the cell to the gutter

In aquaponics as in hydroponics, the transplanting of spring seedlings is the moment when plants are lost. The 5.5 cm depth matters more here than the surface area, since it gives the roots time to form a rootball firm enough to withstand the move into a net pot, rather than falling apart between your fingers. The right moment is when the first true leaves appear, before the roots have started circling at the bottom of the cell. Push the rootball out from underneath rather than pulling on the stem: it then comes out whole and the neighbouring cells are undisturbed.

📦 What arrives in the parcel

The set of 6 contains 6 trays of 12 cells, their 6 watertight bases and their 6 lids, while the set of 10 includes the same items for a total of 120 cells. Also included are 20 marker labels, six small transplanting tools (scissors, tweezers, brush, dibber, fork and trowel), and a pair of gloves. Everything is made of polypropylene, removable, stackable and washable in lukewarm water. The empty trays nest inside one another out of season, which matters when you own ten of them.
