How to use seedling trays for best results

Getting the most out of your seedling trays in Kenya requires proper handling and technique:

1. Fill with quality growing medium

Use a mix of peat moss, coco peat, and compost to ensure proper aeration and moisture retention.

2. Plant the seeds

Place 1 to 2 seeds in each cell, depending on the seed size.

3. Water gently

Use a mist sprayer to avoid displacing the seeds.

4. Provide shade and warmth

Keep trays under a shade net or in a greenhouse to protect them from excessive heat or heavy rains.

5. Transplant on time

Once seedlings have developed 2 to 3 true leaves, they are ready for transplanting.

Advantages of seedling trays in Kenya

• Spacing between seedlings prevents the spread of soil-borne diseases and fungal infections. You can also isolate affected cells easily.
• Trays can be stacked or arranged neatly in greenhouses or nurseries, making better use of limited space.
• Water is used more efficiently since it’s directed to individual cells.
• Quality seedling trays are made from durable plastic that can be cleaned and reused for multiple planting seasons—offering long-term savings.
• With various cell sizes available (50 to 288 cells), you can choose the right tray for crops like tomatoes, onions, herbs, flowers, and tree seedlings.
