Description
CANNA Rootplugs are a starter medium for growers who want reliable root development from seeds and cuttings with less stress at transplant. Designed to create a balanced environment for early plant growth, these plant starting plugs combine aeration with moisture retention to help roots establish quickly and evenly. Their structure supports quick and easy water absorption while maintaining oxygen around the developing root zone, making them a practical choice for propagation and early-stage plant establishment.
Made from coco coir and peat, CANNA Rootplugs provide a natural-substrate propagation medium focused on moisture management and root development. The coco-and-peat composition supports the balance between aeration and moisture retention that is central to the plug design. Quick and easy water absorption helps the medium take on moisture efficiently, while its structure encourages healthy root development and root branching. The plugs are also suitable for natural substrates such as coco and peat-based potting mixes.
CANNA Rootplugs are designed for seamless transplanting once roots are established. Their structure helps minimize root shock during transplanting, supporting continuous growth as young plants move beyond the propagation stage. Fast rooting is another key benefit, helping cut down pre-veg time while giving seeds and cuttings a stable environment for establishment. A pre-formed opening provides a consistent starting point for both seeds and cuttings while preserving the surrounding plug structure.
The fully compostable and degradable growing medium gives growers a propagation option made from plant-growing inputs that naturally break down. CANNA Rootplugs are also pre-dried for extended shelf life, making them practical to keep ready for future propagation cycles. This combination of coco coir, peat, moisture retention, and aeration creates an optimal growing environment for early root establishment.
For growers starting plants from seeds or cuttings, CANNA Rootplugs provide a coco coir and peat starter medium focused on root development, moisture retention, aeration, fast rooting, and seamless transplanting. They are a good fit for propagation setups based around natural substrates, including coco and peat-based potting mixes, and for growers who want a fully compostable and degradable growing medium with a pre-dried format for extended shelf life.
How to use
Cutting Application:
Fully saturate the CANNA Rootplugs with plain water or a suitable nutrient solution adjusted to an EC of 1.0–1.5 and a pH of 5.5–6.2.
Place the plugs in a propagation tray that allows excess water to drain freely, helping maintain a balanced air-to-moisture level around the developing root zone.
Insert each cutting into the pre-cut opening without pushing it too deeply. Leaving adequate growing media beneath the cutting provides more space for healthy root development.
Seed Application:
Fully saturate the CANNA Rootplugs with plain water or a suitable nutrient solution adjusted to an EC of 1.0–1.5 and a pH of 5.5–6.2.
Position the plugs in a tray that allows excess water to drain freely while maintaining consistent moisture around the seed.
Place each seed directly into the pre-cut opening, ensuring it is positioned securely within the Rootplug to support consistent germination and early root development.
Storage:
Store CANNA Rootplugs in a cool, dark place at temperatures above 4°C (40°F) to help maintain product quality during storage.
