Bio Dome Seed Starter Kit with 60 Cell Planting Block, Base Tray, Humidity Dome & 60 Bio SpongesHOW IT WORKS
Bio Dome Systems provide the ideal environment for successful germination giving your seeds the best start possible. The climate controlled dome encourages strong root growth while well-spaced, deep planting cells prevent crowding and allow bigger seedlings in less space. Bio Sponge rooting medium saves seeds (just 1 needed per plug) and maintains an ideal moisture level so there is no drowning and no drying. These economical and reusable systems also make transplanting a snap, so what are you waiting for?!
About this item
Climate control. You can remove the clear vent as the plants grow, but at first, especially if you're starting seeds in late winter, it's a real boost of warmth and humidity! And the two adjustable vents at the top make sure that your plants get good air circulation at all times.
Incredible rooting medium: The bio sponge is simply the best way we've ever found to reliably germinate and grow on seeds. We plant 1 -- ONLY ONE -- seed in each bio sponge, even for difficult-to-germ varieties, and they nearly always sprout. In all our years, we've just never had results like this from any other seed-starting medium, and we've tried them all twice. The bio sponge offers the perfect blend of aeration and moisture to help seeds of all kinds grow and cuttings to root!
Bottom watering. You water the base of this tray, NOT the bio sponges themselves. Put enough lukewarm water into the base so that the polystyrene tray floats. The bio sponges will wick up just the water they need. And as your plants grow, their roots will go down and out, instead of spiraling or fanning out near the surface as you often see with top-watered seedlings. It's impossible to over-water the Bio Dome!
Root strength. This goes along with #3 -- these seedlings form LOTS of roots and grow them straight down and out, so that when it comes time to transplant the seedling, you can see roots sticking out all over the sides and bottom of the bio sponge!
Ease of transplant. None of this business of transplanting the plug into a pot and then transplanting the plant out of the pot and into the soil! When you start your seeds in the Bio Dome, they can be transplanted straight into their final home. The bio sponge holds together, but the roots fan out easily beyond the sponge and into the garden or container soil.
Note:
Little bit of blue fertilizer leaked and stained brown seed package or white instruction sheet. Depends on which unit is shipped.
When moistening plugs, gently squeeze out excess water, otherwise they will break.
Foam cell will float up if only planting in a few cells, otherwise great produce.
Grow lights not included.
