Each plug tray holds twenty 2.5\" square cells that are 3.5\" deep, with large bottom openings to make lifting seedlings whole easier. The matching flat trays sit beneath to catch runoff or be used as a moisture reservoir, so you can switch between drainage and bottom-watering without swapping containers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these trays make transplanting seedlings easier?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plug trays have oversized 0.9\" bottom holes and deep cells so you can remove a rooted plug intact or slide seedlings out with minimal root disturbance.
