Growth Technology Root Riot - Pack of 24

I love these and used these for pumpkin plant seeds and these cubes are smashing. I bought 2 packs of 24 and ALL 48 total plants are off to a great start. They’re super spongey with great moisture retention, helped me grow some strong little plants very quickly. The root systems look awesome. I think I prefer this than the other potting mixes I’ve had, and these are also very easily transferable into bigger pots. I actually planted directly in the tray packaging they came in at first and have kept the trays to use again, as they’re pretty convenient for seedlings. I think this is ok for the price, it is more expensive than if you got a bag of potting mix for seedlings, but these are pretty convenient, easily transferable without harming the root systems, I love the spongeyness and I prefer these over coir disks and rockwool. Clean and easy to use.I decided to write a review as I’ve just gone and purchased my 3rd tray of these.

Well packaged, all the plugs are perfect

3/4 seeds germinated well using these soil plugs, I haven't used them for clones yet but I imagine it would work well.My only issue is when I used my 4th one, it seemed to compact and harden as it dried out. This may be down to user error so don't want to be too harsh with them.Overall they are good value for money, they come very moist and I was able to use them initially just as is. They fit perfectly into the seed trays I also bought from Amazon so they are a good size and it was easy enough to move them out and into their final plant pots.At an amateur level like myself I would recommend, there may be better products out there but it certainly does what I need

This is our second year trying hydroponics tomatoes in our greenhouse. The first year we tried to use Rock wool that we had lying around and although that did the job it was not really ideal or a good option in hindsight.We found out about these after doing a bit of further research and have used them for the first time this year. Being well into the season these have turned out a really good buy and we would definitely use again next year and would happily recommend anybody who needs them either in soil or just water like our hydroponics.

I wish I tried these years ago. I loaded six seeds into cubes and within 24hrs, three seedlings were clear of their shells and the other three have germinated also. Simple, clean and very effective.

I found nothing special about Root Riot... I tried several cuttings from three different types of plants, using Clonex and Root Riot cubes (and a heated propagator) and got nothing after a month. I later came across a product called Root!t propagation gel designed specifically for these type of cutting plugs, and tried again. This time however, I filled half the propagator with Root Riot (using Root!t gel) and half just planted straight into the loamy soil in the seed tray (after squirting Root!t gel into the finger holes where the cuttings were going). I did the latter as an experiment for comparison. A fortnight later, I had good amounts of roots growing in both sides, equally. There you have it then; Root Riot cubes are not a magic rooting solution for cuttings. They are handy and tidy, but it seems they are no better than planting directly into soil. In my experience, more depends on the rooting gel than the planting media. If they are good for something, then they are at least good for their ability to show you when the roots burst through (which you obviously don't get by direct planting) but you get that with the old (and cheaper) Rockwool Cubes or Coir Plugs.

It arrived quickly and was what I required can’t say more than that as I haven’t had time to use as yet

Still got some….
