Pots, Plastic
The industry standard. Sturdy plastic pots in a variety of popular sizes. Pots have a traditional shape and flat bottoms. Bottoms are perforated with several drainage holes and small legs keep pots slightly elevated to facilitate drainage and ventilation. Colors of pots may vary.
Peat Pots, Jiffy®
These pots are pre-formed from peat and natural fibers making them 100 percent biodegradable. As they are also easily penetrated by growing roots, young plants can be placed in the ground or a larger pot with no chance of root damage or shock. Ideal for starting seeds and rooting cuttings.
Pot Marker Labels
Writing stays clear and legible on these stiff, vinyl-plastic markers. Easy to mark with a soft pencil or felt tip pen, they measure 4" x 5⁄8". In packages of 100.
Potting Soil
Organically rich, all-purpose potting soil blended to ensure excel- lent drainage and to promote deep root growth. A compost-based medium that will promote growth of beneficial microorganisms, and provide excellent nutrient and water holding capacity. This is an ideal medium for all types of house plants, cuttings, or bulbs. Eight-pound (3.6 kg) bag.
Planting Mix
Jiffy-Mix® soilless planting medium is unsurpassed for seed starting and for rooting cuttings. A natural peat/vermiculite mixture with added nutrients, it is lightweight, sterile, and ideal for all types of flowers and vegetables. Supplied in an ten-quart bag.
Crystal Soil® Synthetic Potting Medium
Crystal Soil® is a unique and fascinating growth medium for plants. Remarkable hydro-gel stores water and nutrients and releases them as required by the plant. Students will be able to observe plant roots as they develop and grow. Brightly colored Crystal Soil requires no fertil- izer and only needs to be watered once every 3–4 weeks! Five colors available. 2.5-ounce package is concentrated—when water is added, it expands to a full quart.
