Called jiffy’s because it sells them Jiffy Group and are seedbeds of pressed peat. It’s about small compacted peat discs high quality, lined with a mesh. When they get wet, they increase in size, deepening the small hole at the top. They serve to seed or cut. The advantage is that you don’t need to transplantYou introduce them directly, once the seed has germinated in the definitive pot, because they themselves constitute the substrate.
They are very easy to use, you just have to introduce the seeds or cuttings in them and keep them moist, until the small plants appear.
First, we will put the Jiffy in plenty of water for at least 15 minutes to rehydrate. When it has reached its maximum volume, we drain the excess water and put the seed in the center.
Once the seed has germinated, for the transplant, all you have to do is bury the Jiffy in the pot, without removing the plant from them, compacting the soil around it a little with your hands. In this way we do not cause any stress to the little plant. Your roots will go through the hairnet without any effort.
With them, germination and transplantation of any crop is much easier.
There is also a version that is like a small peat pot, which does not need previous hydration, but you have to add substrate.
