PowerPlugs
& How They Work
To fill out a large pot quickly, you need stored energy. There is no cheating Mother Nature. Strong plugs are built with energy supplied by heat, fertilizer, water, time and care; you can see that energy when you hold one of our plugs in your hand.
- HEAVIER CROWNS AND MORE STOLONS
Heavy crowns are a sign of abundant energy. Multiple growing points in one plug perform better than several small starts placed in a pot. - STRONG VERTICAL ROOTS
Channeled by the ribs of our Star-32 trays, the primary roots grow downward and avoid wrapping around the cell. - BIGGER ROOTS DOWN DEEP
A deeper plug puts the actively growing roots into the heart of a large container, where they will grow out much faster. - FINER ROOTS GROWING THROUGHOUT THE MEDIA
Feeder roots knit the plug together. They gather the water and nutrients needed to store energy for the upcoming spring. - LARGE SOIL MASS
In an imperfect world, a large plug buffers transplant shocks, scheduling mistakes, temperature fluctuations and watering irregularities that will stunt smaller plugs. - LONG PLUG LENGTH
Our deep PowerPlug can easily be used for direct planting into landscape applications.
