  • Kit includes 35 growing cells, 35 coconut coir pellets, pellet tray, carrying tray, humidity dome, water retention mat and visual instruction
  • This kit has a water reservoir that houses a moisture wicking mat to hold excess water and release it to the pellets above as they need it
  • Coconut coir pellets expand in minutes after watering into a biodegradable, fine mesh netting
  • Coir reduces the risk of underwatering and overwatering by its ability to store water and release it only when the roots begin to dry out and need it
  • Recessed dibble-hole at the top cradles and holds the seeds for a nurturing environment
  • pH neutral for all seedling types and safe to grow in
  • The water reservoir and moisture wicking mat reduce the frequency that you need to water
