The Woodside 60 Cell Root Trainer Seed Tray 6 Pack is an essential tool for gardeners and horticulturalists seeking to maximize seedling health and survival rates during transplanting. By focusing on vertical root development, these trays ensure that young flowers, vegetables, and herbs establish strong, tangled-free root systems before moving to the garden; however, users should note that the trays require consistent monitoring of moisture levels due to their high cell density and efficient drainage.

They are ideal for most flowers, herbs, and small vegetables, but not recommended for large seeds like beans or squash that require significant depth.
Yes, they are manufactured from durable plastic designed for multiple seasons of use, provided they are cleaned and stored correctly.
While not required, a heat mat can be placed underneath these trays to speed up germination for heat-loving plants like peppers and tomatoes.
Each cell measures 5cm x 4cm, providing ample space for early seedling development.
They can be used outdoors in protected areas, but they are primarily designed for greenhouse or indoor bench use where light and temperature can be controlled.
Each set includes 6 individual 60-cell root trainer trays.
Small cells lose moisture quickly; check the soil daily and consider using a capillary matting base for consistent hydration.
Ensure the soil is sufficiently moist before removal; if the plug is stuck, gently tap the bottom of the individual cell or use a dibber from the bottom drainage hole to lift.
Improve air circulation around the trays and ensure you are not overwatering; avoid keeping the trays in stagnant, humid air without ventilation.
To set up your trays, place them on a level bench or greenhouse shelf to ensure drainage is effective across all cells. We recommend using a humidity dome or cover during the germination phase to maintain consistent moisture levels.
For maintenance, after the final transplanting, wash the trays in warm, soapy water using a soft brush to remove any residual soil or root fragments. Allowing the plastic to air dry completely before stacking prevents the growth of mold or lingering soil-borne pathogens. Store the trays in a cool, dry area out of direct sunlight during the off-season to preserve the integrity of the plastic.
