About Our 6-Cell Inserts 

Start healthy seedlings with durable 6-cell propagation inserts designed for growers who value reliability and reuse. Each insert features six individual planting cells sized for germinating seeds, rooting cuttings, and developing strong transplants before moving them to larger containers or the garden.

Built from sturdy BPA-free polypropylene, these inserts are intended for repeated growing cycles and can withstand regular greenhouse, nursery, and garden use. Their compact footprint allows twelve inserts to fit inside a standard 1020 flat, providing an efficient propagation system for both small and large growing operations.

The open-bottom design promotes excellent drainage while encouraging a dense, healthy root structure. Vertical air-pruning slots help guide root development and reduce circling, resulting in more vigorous transplants and easier establishment after planting.

Frequently asked questions

How many 6-cell inserts fit in a 1020 tray?

Twelve 6-cell inserts fit inside a standard 1020 propagation tray — 72 individual cells in total. That makes them easy to bottom-water and move as a full batch.
What are air-pruning slots, and why do they matter?

Air-pruning slots are vertical openings in the cell walls that expose root tips to air. When a root reaches the slot it naturally stops extending and branches instead, which prevents circling and root-bound transplants — giving you a denser, healthier root system.
Are these seed starting cell trays reusable?

Yes. They're made from sturdy BPA-free polypropylene built for repeated growing cycles, so with basic cleaning between uses they last many seasons — a more economical and sustainable choice than single-use cells.
What can I grow in 6-cell inserts?

They're ideal for starting vegetable and flower seeds, rooting cuttings, and raising transplants before they move to larger containers or the garden — anything that benefits from an organized, well-drained cell.
