This special kit provides the perfect and cost effective way for you to grow on your young plants and produce perfect, established plants by late spring, and therefore literally saving a small fortune compared to garden centre prices. Using the same trays and methods as professional growers, you can now pot up any young plant in to the pots contained in the shuttle trays and then stand the shuttle trays in the watering trays, with the capillary mat sandwiched in between. This provides the perfect means of growing on, allowing you to water the plants as needed from the base, without the chance of making a mess because the water is contained by the tray and is distributed evenly by the capillary mat. Supplied as a complete kit containing the following: 3 18 Pot Shuttle Trays (complete with 18 9cm pots inserted). 3 Watering Trays to stand them in. 3 Capillary Mats to hold water and distribute it evenly. Please note - colour of pots may vary.
Shuttle Trays are the professional growers answer to producing top quality plants, growing them on and transporting them efficiently. Each tray allows you to pot and grow on 18 plants at a time altogether that is 90 plants in total across the 5 trays that you can produce in each batch! The rigid trays are easy to carry around and the pots and trays are made so they can be used over again they will last for many seasons; just wash them out after each use. The pots are approx. 9cm diameter and approx. 8cm deep so they allow plenty of early growing on time for young plants. In fact they are perfect for potting up and growing on young plants, seedlings or even germinating seeds from scratch.
A hardy deciduous fern producing elegant lime green fronds which unfurl gracefully in spring, giving the plant a shuttlecock-like appearance. Easy to grow and awarded an RHS AGM, the shuttlecock fern makes a fabulous architectural addition to borders, woodland gardens and the edges of ponds.
