Q Plugs Refill Bag by iHort is a stabilized rooting media refill for propagation grow plugs, built for germinating seedlings and rooting cuttings in tray systems. It’s also a starter plug option when you want a consistent, clean plug for early-stage plant starts.
Q Plug is designed to help maintain a clean growing environment in closely populated trays. The stabilized rooting media is made to provide more air porosity for better roots and more water control, supporting stronger root development and healthier plants. If your priority is an early start that centers on root quality, this refill bag is made for that purpose.
A key differentiator is the proprietary bonded soil that helps the plug stay intact during handling. That stability supports inspecting and moving young plants without the plug slouching or breaking down, and it can support automated handling in production settings. Q Plug is also designed to maintain its shape from propagation through later growth, keeping the root zone contained and the workspace cleaner.
Q Plug is comprised of all-natural ingredient inputs and is positioned with environmental sustainability in mind. In closed loop systems, the stabilized growing media is designed to help reduce clogged filters, and it can support reducing reliance on plastic grow cups, helping lower routine cleanup and maintenance demands tied to loose media.
Because growers’ setups vary, Q Plug is positioned as a flexible propagation plug for a wide range of growing styles. It’s suited to transplanting into loose mix, field planting, and hydroponic, aeroponic, and aquaponic systems, while keeping the same focus on air porosity, water control, and plug integrity. This is a good fit for growers who want refill plugs that support cleaner tray propagation, easier handling, and root-first plant development.

Coconut coir is important because it holds water while still keeping roots oxygenated, creating a more stable root zone that supports faster, healthier growth, and it’s unique compared to similar media because it combines soil-like moisture buffering with more controllable, predictable nutrient and drainage behavior.
Coconut shell biochar is not a fertilizer because it doesn’t directly supply meaningful plant nutrients; it improves the root zone by holding water films, buffering nutrient ions near roots, and providing protected pore spaces for beneficial microbes. It’s unique because it upgrades stability and structure at the same time, helping plants handle watering and feeding swings more smoothly than many other amendments.
Sphagnum peat moss is important because it holds moisture evenly while still supporting air spaces that roots need for oxygen, which makes watering and nutrient uptake more consistent. It is unique because it naturally trends acidic and acts more like a moisture-and-structure foundation than a nutrient source, so it changes root-zone balance in ways other base ingredients do not.
